Apex Welding Safety was recently the recipient of Weld Australia’s 2023 Welding Excellence Award for Health & Safety in Welding! This recognition from Weld Australia is greatly appreciated by the team at AWS, and we’re glad we could play a role in the incredible work Weld Australia does by helping advocate for welders’ safety in Australia.

As a company specialising in welding safety equipment, it is our goal to raise awareness on the important issues that welders face. To that end, AWS has published several White Papers, Industry Reports, and Welding Fume Control Frameworks in recent years. These provide welders with clear, actionable guidance backed by scientific research, and have been developed based on a simple premise: while the health risks posed by welding are serious, keeping yourself safe can be straightforward.
Moreover, AWS are here to support workplaces trying to navigate through each level of the hierarchy of control, and help employers understand their responsibilities relevant to welders’ eye, face, head, hearing, hand, and respiratory protection (see below):
