FUME EXTRACTION

Welding Fume is Serious

Welding fume has been linked to multiple forms of cancer and has been classified as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

WHAT HAS CHANGED

In September 2023, SafeWork Australia voted to lower the Workplace Exposure Standard for Welding Fume.

In January 2024, Work Health and Safety Ministers approved changes to Australian legislation, formally lowering the Workplace Exposure Standard for Welding Fume in Australia from 5mg/m3 to 1mg/m3.

WHAT THIS MEANS

All Australian workplaces must now comply with the new lower limit by law. This new limit applies to welders and anyone who works around welders.

If you’re an employer, it is your legal responsibility to reduce welding fume exposure to as low as reasonably practicable for all persons, not just the welder.

At Alphaweld we’re always ready to assist and can provide you with expert guidance on how to navigate and tackle your welding fume challenges.
