[Essential for workplaces conducting welding operations] Engineering measures are necessary for welding work! (Published: April 2020, Enforced: April 2021) The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies welding fumes as Group 1 (carcinogenic to humans). Indoor workplaces where metal arc welding and similar operations are performed must implement ventilation through a general ventilation system or equivalent measures. Indoor workplaces that continuously perform metal arc welding and similar operations must measure the concentration of welding fumes in the air through personal sampling. (Measurements must be conducted by March 31, 2022) [Engineering measures for welding work] ■ Push-pull ventilation system ■ Local exhaust system ■ General ventilation system Showa Electric is a work environment measurement organization. We can measure and evaluate concentrations. We also provide one-stop support for construction, notification documents, and work environment evaluations. *For more details, please see the PDF download.
