Notes
Kentucky does not require a statewide occupational license for general welders. The Kentucky Labor Cabinet enforces boiler and pressure vessel safety regulations but does not issue a general welder license. Verify with the Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction for any construction-specific welding requirements.
