Here is a much-needed source of up-to-date information on safety in the welding industry. This book is one of the first to identify the hazards of all major welding processes, showing how they should be controlled to provide safe working conditions for welders and other engineering personnel. Moreover, it includes a comprehensive listing of safety regulations in the United States and Canada. This edition describes the latest technology in the gas and arc welding processes, as well as more specialized welding processes, brazing, soldering, and thermal spraying. There is information on the welding and flame spraying of plastics, radiographic inspection, and the precautions needed when working on vessels contaminated by flammable materials. Also presented is useful guidance on mechanical hazards, ventilation and fume protection, lighting, fire, first aid, and personal protection equipment.

This edition of Health and safety in welding and allied processes has been extensively revised to take into recent account advances in technology and legislative changes both in the UK and USA. Beginning with a description of the core safety requirements, it goes on to describe the special hazards found in the welding environment – noise, radiation, fume, gases and so on in terms of their effects and the strategies that can be adopted to avoid them.The book takes each major joining technology in turn and discusses the key hazards that are most relevant to each process. There are chapters covering: the common arc and gas welding processes; specialised welding processes; brazing, soldering and thermal spraying; welding and flame spraying of plastics; radiographic inspection; mechanical hazards; noise and vibration; radiation; compressed gases; fume and ventilation; fire and first aid; and welding in situations of increased hazard, such as those requiring special precautions to ensure safe working on vessels contaminated by flammable materials.The aim throughout the book is to explain the hazards clearly and concisely, describe how they arise, and suggest practical methods to achieve safe working.Health and safety in welding and allied processes is an essential resource for welders, their managers and all health and safety practitioners who have welding and related processes taking place in their workplaces.A completely revised new edition of the definitive work on welding health and safetyProvides detailed risk analysis for all the major processesShows how to set up effective workplace systems for risk assessment, first aid and reporting
