We will see. VoodooRuutz, you said you know people in Louisiana who have dreads and are welders? Any of white complexion like myself? And I heard there is hair drug testing is that true or only saliva and urine? Thanks..Bless

I never seen a white welder with locks, but white welders with long hair and they wear it in ponytails. I see many black welders with locks as its trendy, ive seen whites of other crafts with locks tho and blacks with locks pass the bottom In lower Louisiana dat industry is big and welders do very well pay wise up to and over 100k yearly but there's some big jobs go on aint no limit to whats seen on dem jobs deh so, I kno locks aint a problem ive seen welders just starting only to see dem again years laters with longer locks still welding Ive been in dat field around welders and k self having locks over 10 years and as I say locks are lot further than shoulders alot further! A woman's stocking, tie legs ina knot or several as i do, cut remaining legs off is sufficient anuff containment light thin not a bother or a simple pony tail Bless

Thanks for the information VoodooRuutz, and one more thing is it true the drug test screening for the welders is saliva and urine and a hair sample? .... Thanks Bless

Where im at its either urine or very few place requires hair sample, ive had to do one hair sample which i made use chest hair and it goes back 90 days but it depends on What the facility wants. Will d I be doing combination welding?

Combination welder, and just all around trade..pipefitting, fabrication ect. So they let you elect to do the body hair test, rather then take hair from your dreads, yeah? Thanks

When I walk in I tell dem say no hair come off I head they it ain matter where jus need a certain amount could come from anywhere A good trade deh, pays well, but hair no problem unless things different weh d I at deh, but yah good welders are usually demanding and get their way Bless
