Resources on Welding Safety and Prevention of Dangers (18)

Basic information on Welding Safety and Prevention of Dangers can be found in our page on Welding Safety.

This 18th Mid Month Bulletin deals with Personal Safety in the Welding Work Environment. The importance of this subject cannot be overestimated because of the costly and painful consequences that can occur because of careless behavior.

A shop Owner or welding Supervisor should take the time to make sure that all people involved are reminded periodically of essential principles of equipment maintenance and housekeeping and that stiff working procedures are enforced.

Personal protection equipment in good condition should not only be available but its proper use must be made compulsory.

Information on Welding Safety and Prevention of Dangers can be found on the rich sources presented hereby, by copying and pasting the following links in your browser and ENTER. Further links may then open to additional pages.
