Guide to Safe Industrial Welding: How to protect yourself effectively during welding operations

When metals are welded they produce gas and fumes that if inhaled, are very harmful to the health of workers and can cause burns or skin irritation, nausea and respiratory depression.

How to protect welders?

For this reason it is essential to provide security procedures that protect the health of the welder, some of these are:

- Always keep an adequate distance from the point of creation of the smoke;

- Mastering the main risks associated with the material being welded;

- Always use adequate PPE (personal protective equipment), such as goggles, gloves and fireproof clothing;

- Install mobile or centralized vacuum systems that extract fumes in a localized manner at the points where the welding takes place.

Welding Fume Extractors

Centralized fume extractors are definitely the most effective protection for your health as it allows you to filter out noxious fumes directly at the source, providing a higher degree of protection for workers and the people with whom they share the environment.
