Welding Fume Safety - 5/13/2009
Cleveland, OH - The Lincoln Electric Company has launched its “Are You Ready?” awareness campaign, designed to educate employers and the general welding community about effective fume control practices. The campaign is also designed to help fabricators understand both recent and upcoming Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) regulations, including the hexavalent chromium standards going into effect on May 31, 2010.
The campaign promotes welding fume control and safety awareness and offers access to a comprehensive one-stop shop of reference materials, interactive tools and product solutions for weld fume control. This Lincoln Electric initiative is intended to educate the welding community on current and pending OSHA regulations and the proper operating practices to follow, particularly in reference to occupational exposure to welding fume containing hexavalent chromium and manganese.
The first resource available to launch the “Are You Ready?” campaign is the interactive Web site at www.lincolnelectric.com/weld-fume-control. The Web site is a resource for individuals seeking more information on methods of welding fume control which may be implemented to address OSHA regulations. It will also provide links to materials including articles, white papers and videos along with other valuable tools and information pertaining to weld fume control, welder safety and solutions.
Employers can also submit questions regarding OSHA regulations by sending a message to a team of knowledgeable Lincoln Electric personnel at weldfumecontrol@lincolnelectric.com, which was established as part of the “Are You Ready?” campaign.

on May 13, 2009, 1:22 pm PDT The market for extraction systems is mainly driven by regulation, so we rely on our suppliers to keep us informed on the issues each product addresses. We are seeing more inquiries regarding extraction systems now than we did in the past, so it’s great to see suppliers being proactive in keeping the industry educated on best practices.
