B. Appropriate engineering controls
To install local ventilation system in the vicinity of welding fume sources is more effective than to deal with fume spreaded
at workplace

3
Natural ventilation : If the concentration is low, the space is 284m or more per two workers, and a ceiling height of space
is more 5 meter, the natural ventilation is applied. It is also applied to the non-enclosed space with
dilution.
Local ventilation : Install the appropriate local ventilation system depending on the nature of processing and welding
materials. If the local ventilation is installed newly, the combined type, local air supply and local
exhaust, is recommended. Local ventilation system installed closer to the worker as possible is
desirable. It must have the ventability lower than the expoosure limit. It is the most effective system to
remove fume, but if the exhaust is too larger, welding defects will be occurred because of disturbance
of the shelding gas. Workers should turn on it while working and conduct maintenance.
Portable local ventilation : It is applied when working in a confined space such as ship-body assembly or in the tank.
Local air supply and local exhaust takes place at the same time. If necessary, run all the time.
If welding fume exhausts to other workplace, portable dust collection equipment should be
installed.
Full ventilation : Workplace is ventilzed with fans and blowers. It is effecive when workplace is a relatively small volume.
To remove fume, parallel push-pull ventilation should be considered. It should be designed and installed
accordding to the workplace.
C. Individual protection measures
Use proective equipment cerified by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health agency while welding.
1) Respiratory protecton
To prevent fume or hazardous gases, wear a mask while welding as below.
Dust mask : Wear it in a bad ventilation condition while welding.
Remove dust or dry frequently after using.
Gas mask : Wear a gas mask when ventilation is not sufficient such as inside the tank or in a narrow place.
Select a gas mask that can be used to combined with protective goggles
Use the proper canister according to hazardous substance.
Air-supplied respirator : Use air-line mask with compressed air.
2) Eye protection
Use a facial mask with filter screen from the ultraviolet of arc or spatter. There are face shield helmet or hand shielded
helmet.
Use shielding grade as welding type.
Welding type Shielding grade
