Welding Safety

Welding, cutting, and brazing are hazardous activities which pose a combination of both safety and health risks for employees. Welding is an important part of the manufacturing process of many consumer and industrial goods. Welding also plays a vital role in the construction industry and is often used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures throughout the United States. Welding, cutting and brazing are all very dangerous and proper work practices must be followed to avoid injuries, fires and even explosions.

It is important for employees to be trained to follow safe welding procedures and to use proper safety equipment. Safety programs should cover Person Protective Equipment (PPE), safe working environments, and common injuries associated with welding. Our Welding Safety video will help teach and remind your employees of these safety practices and the hazards involved when welding. Some of the hazards include:
• Burns
• Eye damage
• Electrical shock
• Cuts
• Inhalation of poisonous gases
