When inspecting for problems, inspectors may find that people object to the inspection. This can often cause tensions. Many inspectors work long and often irregular hours. They may work around noisy equipment, and be exposed to fumes, chemicals, or odors. They may wear protective clothing.
Inspectors usually work with little or no supervision.
Some inspectors stand all day, while others sit. Some inspectors lift heavy objects. Most quality control inspectors in Indiana work in the food processing, metal fabricating, and electrical equipment production industries. All wage rates vary with level of training, experience and location. Entry level wages may be lower.
