Protecting welders, fabricators and maintenance teams is a top priority at KWS. In this Safety & PPE section, we share practical advice on keeping people safe around welding operations, grinding, cutting and hot work in Irish workshops and on site.
Welding safety is about more than just a good helmet. It includes eye and face protection, gloves, clothing, fume extraction, noise control and clear procedures. Our articles are designed to support owners, supervisors and welders with straightforward guidance that complements formal standards and site rules.
Here you can learn more about:
