This safety training aims to highlight the main hazards associated with welding work on metallic materials and to raise awareness of these hazards among employees. The term 'welding work' is used below as a synonym for welding and related processes, such as soldering, metal spraying and thermal cutting. It also includes ancillary work such as grinding that is directly related to the application of these processes.  

Five lessons provide information on aspects that may be important in relation to this topic. Based on this, a discussion should take place on whether and where there are comparable issues in your own company, which specific technical and organisational measures have already been implemented, and which solutions are seen as improving the situation on site. 

The practical guide is therefore not only suitable for fulfilling legal requirements, but can also be used as a tool for continuous improvement within the company.
