Welding Workshop Fume Extraction

Stay informed and secure with the latest insights from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). In their February 2019 safety alert, HSE updated advice on the risks and controls surrounding exposure to welding fumes. This guidance is essential for anyone involved in welding across various industries.

Key points to note:

1. No Safe Limit: Following the reclassification of welding fumes as a carcinogen, there is now no safe limit for exposure. Your safety matters.

2. Beyond General Ventilation: Ordinary workplace ventilation won’t cut it. It’s time to explore dedicated solutions to ensure your safety.

3. Engineering Controls for All Settings: Whether you’re indoors or outdoors, engaged in short-term work or longer projects, HSE recommends the implementation of engineering control solutions for all welding activities.

Our team of technically qualified engineers, holding Professional Certification (P604) from the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS), stands ready to guide you. We advocate following the latest advice rooted in Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs) and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH) Regulations.
