Because welding processes often generate sparks, glares and fumes, a safe and nuisance-free workplace is of utmost importance.
Welders should take great care to ensure that both they and their co-workers are safe and avoid spreading dangerous welding fume throughout the facility. There are quite a number of guidelines one must adhere to in order for them and their colleagues to return home, safely, every day.

It is common sense to keep welding fumes in the breathing zone of a welder below a certain limit [1]. Personal protection, source extraction and good general ventilation are the essentials for completing a welding job as safely as possible. Everybody should realise that personal protection is as important if not more so at this time, as Covid-19 (or the “coronavirus”) continues to spread worldwide.

What is hexavalent chromium & how to act for best protection.
A recent case (early February 2019) of financial compensation for 800 workers who have been exposed to the hazardous hexavalent chromium in the workshop of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NedTrain-department) in Tilburg, the Netherlands, has again put the spotlight on the danger of this substance.
At-source extraction protects workers in the metal industry and prevents the accumulation of welding fumes, oil mist or grinding dust in the workspace. The use of flexible extraction arms is a good method of removing dangerous fumes and dust when working on small or medium sized objects. These arms can be positioned close to the work area to capture toxic fumes, dust particles and remains of molten metal at the source. Capturing fumes and dust at the source also prevents pollution from spreading over the premises, keeping not only machines and tools but also products and offices cleaner.
