1. Find well-functioning routines so that the welder always gets the (bwe).
a) Are protective equipment in the form of visors, respirators, protective clothing, safety shoes, and welding gloves required?
b) Does the welding equipment have integrated extraction in the welding gun or a smoke eater?
c) Do you need lighting?
d) Extra warm clothes are required for work in cold conditions, such as in cold rooms or outdoors during winter.
2. Do you have a working procedure in place to ensure that all welders always consider before starting work and, for example, with the support of a checklist, verify that it is safe to commence work?
3. Are there work and safety instructions for such work that can entail serious risks if you were to work in the wrong way or fail to use protective equipment, e.g. aiming and welding?
4. Are there established procedures to prevent the risk of falls and falling when welding needs to be performed at high altitudes or in areas with a risk of collapse?
5. There are functioning procedures for...
a) When can welders work alone and when are they allowed to do so?
b) Is there a requirement for the welder to be reachable and able to reach others if necessary when working alone?
6. Are there established procedures for welders to be informed about and adhere to the local safety regulations that are applicable to the location where the welding will take place?
7. Procedures are in place for...
a) To check that the welding equipment, including hoses, gaskets, and valves, is undamaged and in good condition?
b) Maintenance of the equipment used in welding?
c) Is the airflow required to be 100 cubic meters per hour at a maximum distance of 1 dm, 600 cubic meters per hour at a distance of 3 dm, and at least 1,000 if the distance to the arc is 5 dm?
8. What procedures should welders follow if the work cannot be carried out safely?
9. Do the welders know and follow these procedures?
10. There is a need for medical check-ups for employees who...
a) Are you exposed to noise above the limit value or at risk of hearing damage?
b) Are you exposed to vibrations at work above the limit value or if vibration injuries are suspected?
c) Are you referring to welding on materials that are or are suspected to be lacquered with polyurethane varnish?
d) Do other materials such as polyurethane or epoxy produce toxic airborne compounds when heated during welding?
