Welding processes generate hazardous gases and fumes. Welders and surrounding workers can inhale these gases and fumes if they are not properly protected. This exposure can lead to serious health effects including cancer, sensitization, and reproductive effects. WorkSafeBC and the BCCSA have each developed new guidance material for managing exposure to welding fumes and gases. The speakers will discuss the new welding guidance materials and best practices for managing exposure risks associated with welding.

 

Topics for this session include:

  • What are the hazards of welding?
  • What are the regulatory requirements?
  • How can you effectively control exposure to welding fumes and gases?

Isocyanates are hazardous chemicals found in parkade membranes and polyurethane spray foams. Working with these chemicals can lead to asthma attacks caused by exposure to even very low levels of isocyanates. This session combines the technical and scientific knowledge required to safely work with isocyanates with real-life experience of managing isocyanates on site. The presenters discuss the health effects of isocyanates, the WorkSafeBC requirements, and how to make sure that workers are effectively protected from exposure. They use a case-study of isocyanate control in a parkade to demonstrate some common mistakes made when dealing with isocyanates, and how to fix them.
