What happens when welding procedures aren't followed on a high-stakes construction site? From potential structural failures to safety nightmares, the risks are real. In this episode of the Industrial Welding Inspection Podcast, host John Masseny unpacks the critical role of inspectors in verifying compliance with Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS). Learn what WPS really is, why it's essential to every major industrial project, and how inspectors ensure welders meet every requirement before, during, and after the job is done. From document reviews to high-tech non-destructive testing, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the multi-stage verification process that safeguards everything from bridges to skyscrapers. We’ll also explore how certification, experience, and the latest technologies empower inspectors to catch issues early—and how continuous training keeps both welders and inspectors up to date in an ever-evolving field. If you're invested in quality, safety, or just want to understand how critical compliance is to the integrity of infrastructure, this episode is a must-listen.
