What documentation is required for welding fume compliance?

A proper documentation pack usually includes:

• Up-to-date COSHH assessments for each welding task

• LEV inspection records (every 14 months as required by law)

• Exposure monitoring results

• Training records for welders and supervisors

• RPE fit test certificates

• Maintenance logs for welding bays and extraction systems

HSE inspectors often ask for these during visits. Gaps in paperwork usually mean gaps in controls, so keeping everything current is important.
