WELDING
FUMES
-Welding fumes are a
complex mixture of
metallic oxides, silicates
and fluorides. Fumes are
formed when a metal is
heated above its boiling
point and its vapours
condense into very fine,
particles (solid
particulates).

HELMET
A welding helmet is a
MODERN
type of personal
protective equipment OLD
used in performing
certain types of welding
to protect the eyes, face,
and neck from flash
burn, sparks, infrared and
ultraviolet light, and
intense heat.
Types of Welding Helmet
1. Passive Welding Helmet
These helmets have a fixed, dark-
tinted lens that provides a
constant level of protection. They
don't automatically adjust to
different welding conditions and
require the welder to lift the
helmet to see when not welding.
Types of Welding Helmet
2. Auto-darkening Welding Helmet
These helmets feature a lens that
automatically darkens when the
welding arc is struck, providing
varying levels of protection. They
allow for better visibility when not
welding and can be more
convenient for different welding
applications.

SAFE WELDING PRACTICES
Key Safety Practices for Welding

Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as welding


helmets, gloves, and flame-resistant clothing.
Inspect equipment for defects before use, and maintain a safe work area free
of flammable materials.
Follow proper welding techniques and procedures to minimize hazards.
SAFE WELDING PRACTICES
Proper Ventilation and Extraction

Ensure proper ventilation to remove fumes and gases produced during


welding.
Use local exhaust ventilation systems or fume extractors to capture and
remove welding fumes at the source.
Maintain a well-ventilated workspace to protect yourself and others from
harmful emissions.
PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
-Personal protective equipment,
commonly referred to as "PPE", is
equipment worn to minimize
exposure to hazards that cause
serious workplace injuries and
illnesses. These injuries and
illnesses may result from contact
with chemical, radiological,
physical, electrical, mechanical,
or other workplace hazards.
