Welding fumes can expose workers to a complex mix of hazardous chemicals with serious short- and long-term health effects. This session will help attendees understand why managing welding fume exposure is critical to protecting workers and meeting WHS duties. SafeWork NSW will outline practical ways to control risks, including effective fume extraction and respiratory protection, explain what updated workplace exposure standards mean for workplaces, and highlight the support available for business owners, supervisors, workers and HSRs.
