A Welding Fume & Product Control Industry Review

2024 Welding Fume & Product Control Industry Review

A Welding Fume & Product Control Industry Review

Based on a 2024 survey of over 1,350 welders across Australia, this review examines the current state of the welding industry regarding welding fume exposure and welding fume product controls. With the lower Workplace Exposure Standard (WES) for welding fume being introduced in January 2024, the objective of the survey was to understand whether the welding industry was aware of this change in legislation. The survey then sought to determine what methods of welding fume product controls were being employed to reduce exposure to as low as possible.
