Welding is a process fraught with many hazards: high temperatures, UV radiation, welding fumes, and the risk of fire. Therefore, adhering to occupational health and safety regulations is an absolute must for every workplace.
Lack of proper protection can lead to serious injuries – from burns and eye damage to respiratory illnesses.
Every welder should be equipped with:
Welding helmet with a filter to protect eyes and face,
Protective clothing made of flame-retardant materials,
Welding gloves resistant to high temperatures,
Respiratory protection (masks, filters) in high dust conditions.
In addition to personal protective equipment, proper organization of the workstation is crucial:
efficient ventilation and exhaust gas extraction,
securing the position against risk of fire,
maintenance order and cleanliness at the workplace.
A professional welder follows good practices such as:
regular occupational health and safety training,
equipment check before starting work,
observance technological procedures and instructions.
Welder safety depends on both equipment and awareness of hazards. Investing in occupational health and safety protects employee health, reduces the risk of accidents, and increases work efficiency. A well-organized workstation and adherence to procedures are the foundation of safe welding.
