Protect your workforce from cancer-causing welding fumes with professional Welding Fume Exposure Monitoring from Synergy Environmental Solutions.
We measure personal exposure to welding fumes, gases and particulates, assess real-world risk and provide clear, COSHH-compliant reports to support regulatory compliance and worker health.
In 2019, the HSE reclassified welding fume as a Group 1 human carcinogen, linking it to:
All welding processes produce hazardous fumes, including:
Even short-term exposure can cause significant respiratory effects.
Yes. MIG, TIG, MMA, flux-cored and even oxy-fuel welding all produce hazardous fumes that can damage the lungs and increase cancer risk.
We measure metal particulates (iron, manganese, chromium, nickel), ozone, nitrogen oxides, CO and total airborne fume concentration.
Yes. HSE classifies welding fumes as a Group 1 carcinogen, meaning exposure must be minimised to the lowest reasonable level.
Yes. HSE requires all indoor welding to have effective Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) or on-torch extraction.
Engineering, fabrication, automotive, shipbuilding, construction, utilities, rail and heavy industry all require exposure assessment.
