In Australia, welding safety is governed by a comprehensive framework of guidelines designed to mitigate the risks associated with welding activities. The Welding Code of Practice and Australian Standards for Welding—such as AS/NZS 1554, AS 1674, and AS 4603—provide clear instructions on how to safely conduct welding tasks. These standards cover everything from proper equipment maintenance to essential safety measures that protect welders from hazards like electric shocks, fires, and toxic fumes.
