WELDING APPLICATIONS
WELDING: CHANGE OF ENFORCEMENT
1. Control Measures (local exhaust ventilation /extraction)
2. Any Alternative Method Better Placed to Improve / Remove Hazard
3. Robust Respiratory Programme in place
4. Disposable versus Non-Disposable RPE / Adequate & Suitable
5. Toxicity / Concentration of the Fume
6. Filter Longevity Awareness / Product Alerts and Alarms
7. Time Spent on Target
8. Others in close proximity, protection identified?
