Top 6 Welding Safety Checklists

Welding safety checklists are tools used to ensure the safety of workers throughout the entire welding cutting and brazing process. Welding checklists can help ensure compliance with wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and be used for welding equipment and machinery inspections. They can also be used when performing site walkthroughs which can include checking of ventilation systems and flammable materials on site. Learn about to the most common welding hazards and how to control them.

We have compiled a collection of welding safety checklists using iAuditor which can be used during daily operations and equipment self-inspections, risk assessments, Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and PPE checks.

Confirm that only trained personnel will be performing the task, check for gas cylinder handling and storage, inspect cables and equipment, check the work area and ventilation and ensure proper PPE is worn at all times.

3. Welding Risk Assessment Template

Use this welding risk assessment template to identify the hazard associated with welding activities before commencing work. Record risk rating based on the hazards and assess control measures to be used and implemented for safety purposes.
