The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has released a safety alert highlighting new scientific evidence from the International Agency for Research on Cancer suggesting that exposure to all welding fumes causes lung cancer and kidney cancer. Following the findings, The Workplace Health Expert Committee has endorsed the reclassification of mild steel welding fume as a human carcinogen.
Engweld recommends 2 stages to deal with welding fume in the working environment:
1. Make sure welding fume released is controlled effectively by installing local exhaust ventilation.
2. Protect the welder from breathing in any outstanding welding fume by issuing an air fed welding mask.
Products like PAPR Units supply clean air to the wearer reducing the effort required to breathe in fume environments through a controlled airflow system that guarantees constant flow. With enhanced warning signals, optical and audible alarms for low power, clogged filter and reduced airflow, the Parweld XR940A PAPR Unit ensures workers are protected, and compliance is met. The air fed welding mask comes with a smooth and clear status display, an ultra-quiet brushless motor, two-speed airflow control, audible & vibration warnings, large view pro-line welding & grinding helmet, removable Li-ion battery, and can run for 10+ hours. Here you'll find a wide range of solutions suitable for your welding application and budget.
