Investigations of electromagnetic and biomechanical factors affecting concurrently workers operating suspended resistance welders have been performed. The results showed a high variability of the level of internal measures of electromagnetic exposure effects and musculoskeletal system load depending on both the worker’s posture and resistance gun location and size. This paper presents also construction and operating procedure optimization rules and worksite guidelines of workers’ exposure by suspended resistance welders done on the basis on investigations results analysis. It was also proven that simple organizational activities referred to particular worksites’ can limit hazard level of resistance welding gun operators to concurrent electromagnetic and biomechanical even a few times.
