Choosing a welding set?Make sure you can handle it

Introduction

This leaflet is aimed at employers, although suppliers of welding sets will also find

it useful. It gives advice on identifying, managing and controling the risks to your

employees caused by handling welding equipment.

At the end of the leaflet there is an illustrated checklist to help you make the right

choice when you select welding equipment.

Welding sets are becoming smaller and lighter. But if you need to regularly move

the set by hand, you may need to include this task as part of your general handling

risk assessment.

This is leaflet INDG390(rev2), The risks

revised 02/12

Manual welding can be a demanding and difficult job. It can involve precision work,

with the welder’s body being in a fixed or awkward posture, often in a confined

environment. Welders also have to handle heavy materials and equipment.

All these factors may increase the risk of workers developing musculoskeletal

disorders, such as back problems, or even upper limb pain in the neck and shoulders.

A study found that 51% of welders suffered at least one period of sickness over

a two-year period, taking time off work because of muscle, joint and tendon

disorders.

Selecting equipment

When selecting work equipment, the Provision and Use of Work Equipment

Regulations 1998 require you to consider the risks to the health and safety of

people using that equipment. This includes manual handling risks.

Selecting the right welding set may help avoid:

■ personal suffering caused by injuries or ill health from musculoskeletal disorders;

■ the financial burden of sickness absence and increased insurance premiums;

■ reduced productivity; and

■ welders being unable to come back to this type of work, which could affect their

future earnings.

Reducing injuries and ill health caused by handling welding equipment will benefit

people working in this sector.

Choosing a welding set?Make sure you can handle it

This leaflet is aimed at employers of peoplewho use welding equipment, but will also beuseful to suppliers of welding sets.

It gives guidance on selecting welding sets andthe risks in manual welding and tells employerswhere to find more information. It has a usefuldiagram to help them assess the manualhandling risks of welding sets.
