Welding Fumes Biological Monitoring Kit
Metals-in-urine biomonitoring for welding, torch cutting, plasma, laser cutting and smelting operatives.
- Metals-in-urine analysis covering common welding fume constituents
- Suitable for hot metal fumes from welding, torch cutting, plasma, laser cutting and smelting
- Direct evidence of absorbed dose — the most relevant indicator post-HSE 2019 alert
- Accredited laboratory analysis and interpreted report
- Follow-up consultation with a qualified occupational hygienist
Please note: To protect testing integrity, all sampling media and test kits are non-returnable and non-refundable due to risk of sample contamination or damage.

- Accredited laboratory
- Report in ~20 working days
Welding fume exposure — verified
Following the HSE alert on welding fume, biomonitoring matters more than ever.
Metallic components in welding fume can be measured directly using our metals-in-urine biomonitoring kit. The kit is particularly suitable for those exposed to hot metal fumes from welding, torch cutting, plasma or laser cutting and smelting.
Following the 2019 HSE alert on welding fume, employers are expected to demonstrate that controls — particularly LEV and RPE — are working. Biomonitoring is the most direct evidence that operators are protected.
Who is this for?
Health & safety managers
Independent biomonitoring evidence to demonstrate that exposure controls are working under COSHH.
Occupational health teams
Cumulative absorbed-dose data via all routes — inhalation, skin and ingestion — not just airborne.
Operators on at-risk processes
Reassurance that PPE, ventilation and work practices are protecting them adequately.
Auditors & client compliance
Defensible biomonitoring data to support insurer, contractor and HSE assurance reviews.
Need a full COSHH assessment?
Pair biomonitoring with welding fume air monitoring & LEV testing.
For a complete picture, combine biomonitoring with personal air sampling, control verification and a defensible technical report from our occupational hygienists.
