HEALTH PRECAUTIONS IN WELDING URGED ****
THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT TODAY (SATURDAY) REMINDED BOTH EMPLOYERS AND WORKERS TO TAKE ADEQUATE PRECAUTIONS IN WELDING WORK, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT INVOLVES STAINLESS STEEL.

+A WORKROOM WHERE WELDING IS CONDUCTED SHOULD BE ADEQUATELY VENTILATED AND WHERE APPROPRIATE, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED, HE SAID.
HE ADDED THAT WELDERS SHOULD USE PROPER WELDING SHIELDS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
FACTORY PROPRIETORS AND WELDING WORKERS MAY CONSULT THE FACTORY INSPECTORATE OF THE DEPARTMENT IF THEY HAVE ANY QUERIES.
