Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Raw Hide Rehydration Workers soak dried raw hides in water to restore flexibility, preparing them for subsequent tanning or processing steps. They primarily work in leather manufacturing factories.
Description
Raw Hide Rehydration Workers are responsible for immersing dried raw hides in water tanks or vats to rehydrate them, restoring them to a soft and easy-to-handle state. They manage water temperature and soaking time while regularly inspecting the condition of the raw hides to achieve uniform rehydration. After soaking, they drain the water and adjust the moisture content to a level suitable for the next steps of hide tanning or cutting. Since they handle heavy raw hides in a factory setting, they pay attention to safety and hygiene, while also managing work records and performing basic equipment maintenance.
Future Outlook
Although domestic leather manufacturing is shrinking in scale, demand for skilled workers is expected to be maintained due to needs for high-grade leather products and the introduction of automation technology. Succession of skills due to the decrease in skilled workers will be a challenge.
