Classification
Summary
A technical occupation that manufactures wooden buoys with buoyancy through log processing, assembly, painting, anti-corrosion treatment, and finishing.
Description
The Float Manufacturer (Wooden Buoy) handles everything from timber selection, cutting and shaping, assembly, painting and anti-corrosion treatment, finish polishing, attachment of lifting gear, to quality inspection. Uses machine tools such as band saws, routers, and grinders, as well as hand tools, and is required to manage dimensional accuracy and coating thickness to ensure buoyancy and durability. Work is performed inside factories, often involving handling heavy objects and prolonged standing, making safety management and protective gear essential. As products are intended for marine use, knowledge of anti-corrosion coatings and weatherproofing treatments is also necessary.
