Welding fume has recently been categorized as a Group 1 Carcinogen. Welding is nearly ubiquitous in all industrial environments. This course describes the health/safety hazards associated with welding and thermal cutting processes. This PDC will present: a) terminology used in the welding industry; b) materials, thermal processes, and scenarios associated with overexposure potential; c) how to improve the quality of monitoring data; d) how to prioritize exposure assessments; e) ventilation techniques; f) respiratory protection options for welding and thermal cutting processes; and Comparison of the application of: the mixtures formula, NIOSH’s 0.010 mg/m3 suggested OEL for carcinogens, and Occupational Exposure Control Banding.
