This self-paced online course incorporates videos, interactive scenarios, and practice questions throughout to deepen learner understanding of common welding, cutting, and hot work processes and the health and safety hazards associated with them.

Learn common welding industry vocabulary to communicate effectively with welders in the workplace and review detailed overexposure scenarios to understand the steps an OEHS professional should take to limit worker exposure. Among the potential exposures discussed are Manganese, Hexavalent Chromium, and the potential carcinogenic effects of Iron. Several actionable suggestions will be presented for improving the quality of monitoring data and improving the effectiveness of ventilation and other control methods.
