Welding and cutting

Welding, cutting, and brazing are common procedures in many industries. Whenever welding, cutting, or brazing occurs, everyone involved in the operation must take precautions to prevent fires, explosions, or personal injuries.

By the nature of these processes and the materials often involved, welding, cutting, and brazing pose unique threats to the health and safety of workers. These hazards can affect not only the person doing the work, but other people in the area and nearby flammable materials and structures.

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA) welding requirements apply to any employer with welding and cutting operations as part of its business.
