Welding Hazards and Risk Management

Everybody has a responsibility to work safely and not to endanger themselves or any other person at work. Welding, cutting and allied processes present numerous potential occupational hazards to welders and others.

To work safely, it is essential that hazards are recognized and identified, risk is assessed and control measures are put in place. This forms the basis of risk management.

Download our 72 page Welding Hazards and Risk Management Booklet to lean more about safety while you're working.

Gas and Equipment Safety Seminars

Compressed gases present several hazards. There are many special precautions that must be taken in order to ensure safe storage and usage. Learn more about these safety considerations by attending a Linde Gas and Equipment Safety Seminar.

This seminar is a mixture of classroom and hands-on training provided by a trained Linde representative. Training materials are provided by Linde. The program can be tailored to meet your specific safety considerations for the products you use. Everyone who moves or handles gas cylinders should attend.
