The supervisor must use the checklist together with the welder when planning and organising work in welding workshops. The checklist is also intended to support the manager in cooperation (between employers and employees) with the safety representative in the work of developing routines for safer work.

| Question | Yes | No | N/A | Risk assessment: | Risk description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | Medium | High | |||||
| 1. Are structures and welds chosen to minimize the need for grinding and slagging? |
| ||||||
| 2. To reduce exposure to and the risk of vibration. | |||||||
