Webinar: Welding Electrical Safety

This webinar will provide you with all the information required to help protect yourself and your workforce from the hazards associated with welding and electrical safety. Our expert speakers will review information on two fatal welding  electrical incidents and provide information on industry best practice to minimise the risks of future incidents.The latest international data will also be presented in the webinar.

Safety is a critical consideration for any welding project. Welding is a safe occupation when proper precautions are taken. But, if safety measures are ignored, welders face an array of hazards which can be potentially dangerous, including electric shock and electrocution. Exposure to electromagnetic fields can also be a potential hazard for workers with some medical conditions. Exposure can lead to severe injury or death, either from the shock itself or from a fall caused by the reaction to a shock. The risks associated with using electricity must be controlled and the control measures clearly communicated, particularly in welding. This webinar will provide clear information on how to reduce hazards, how to ensure your company upholds all applicable Australian Standards, and how to keep yourself and your workforce safe.
