There are over 500,000 workers involved in some form of welding, cutting or brazing work. These are hazardous activities which pose a combination of both safety and health risks for employees. Welding, cutting and brazing are all very dangerous and proper work practices must be followed to avoid injuries, fires and even explosions.
