As part of our best selling “High Impact Series”, this training video provides a dynamic accident prevention program that stresses the importance of welding safety. This safety video demonstrates six graphic accident examples from OSHA files covering regulations and preventative measures that are essential in maintaining personal and workplace safety in the welding process. These dramatic demonstrations prove highly effective in reminding workers of welding hazards they may face when not properly and carefully executing proper operating procedures. The following welding accident examples are analyzed in this safety video:
- Sparks and slag from overhead welding operation ignites a plant-wide fire
