Welding is a safe occupation when sufficient Workplace Safety measures are taken to protect the welder and the working environment from potential hazards. When these measures are overlooked or ignored, however, welders can encounter dangers which may result in serious or even fatal injuries.
The use of Welding helmets, gloves, jackets and caps are commonly used to maintain workplace safety. Welding fume, with legislation changes, is now classified as a Group 1 carcinogenic. It has become an increasing focus for Workplace Safety. Employers have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment – not only for the operator but the complete workshop or site.
