In this episode Mark Reggers is joined by guest Craig Leech, NSW Sales Manager and Technical Specialist for Australian Welding Supplies (AWS) to discuss welding hazards. When we think welding most of us presume that it is simply the process of permanently bonding two pieces of metal together, however, there is more to welding than meets the eye. Technical matters aside, the world of a welder is filled with hazards, the risk of electrocution, fire and explosion, burns, electric shock, vision damage, inhalation of poisonous gases and fumes, and exposure to intense ultraviolet radiation is a real and present danger.
