What are Welding Policies?
Welding policies set out how organisations manage the health, safety and environmental risks associated with welding activities.
Welding can expose employees to hazards such as burns, fumes, radiation, noise and fire risks. A clear policy ensures that welding work is carried out safely, in compliance with regulations, and with appropriate protective measures in place.
What Do Welding Policies Cover?
A welding policy typically includes:
-
Risk assessments for welding operations and related tasks
-
Requirements for training and competence of welders
-
Use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as helmets, gloves and eye protection
-
Ventilation and fume extraction procedures to minimise exposure
-
Safe systems of work for hot work, including permits to work
-
Fire prevention measures, such as clear work areas and fire watch procedures
-
Maintenance and inspection of welding equipment
-
Reporting and recording of incidents, near misses or unsafe practices
-

A clear welding policy helps employees understand the hazards of welding, the protective measures in place, and the correct procedures to follow.
It also ensures compliance with UK legislation, including the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER).
By implementing strong controls and promoting safe practices, organisations can reduce the risk of accidents, protect employees from long-term health conditions and ensure welding activities are carried out responsibly. A well-managed welding policy demonstrates commitment to safety, legal compliance and staff wellbeing.
