Welding in Occupational Hygiene

Why Attend

Welding processes, while essential across industries, can pose significant occupational health risks due to the release of hazardous fumes, gases, radiation, and noise. Effective occupational hygiene practices are critical to ensure the safety and health of workers exposed to welding operations. The “Welding in Occupational Hygiene” training program, developed by Commonwealth Training and Consulting Africa, is designed to provide participants with the technical knowledge and practical skills to assess, monitor, and control occupational hazards associated with welding. This course integrates hygiene principles with real-world applications to improve workplace safety and regulatory compliance.

Overview

Course Outline

Schedule & Fees

Course Methodology

Instructor-led training that uses interactive learning methods, including class discussion, small group activities, and role-playing

Course Objectives

Understand the occupational health risks associated with various welding processes.; Identify hazardous agents (fumes, gases, radiation, noise) generated during welding.; Conduct exposure assessments and environmental monitoring in welding operations.; Implement control measures in line with occupational hygiene principles.; Apply relevant international standards and regulatory requirements.; Develop safe work procedures and hygiene strategies for welding environments.; Collaborate with safety and engineering teams to reduce exposure risks.

Target Audience

This course is intended for: Occupational hygienists; Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) professionals; Welding supervisors and foremen; Maintenance and fabrication managers; Industrial safety engineers; Safety officers and technicians; Quality assurance personnel in fabrication industries; Regulatory compliance officers
