RISK ASSESSMENT FOR WELDING, CUTTING, GRINDING
This HSE document provides a risk assessment for welding, cutting, and grinding activities. It identifies potential hazards associated with these tasks, including fire, electrical shock, and inhalation of fumes. The assessment also details control measures to mitigate these risks, ensuring worker safety during metalwork operations.
