Abstract

This bachelor thesis deals with the occupational exposure to welding fumes of a welder in the steel fabrication industry. The initial part describes the welding process, the requirements of the welder's work position and the pollutants produced during welding and their effects on human health. The three most common diseases of welders are also described. A large part of the thesis deals with the evaluation of health hazards when working with chemical agents and dusts, where hygiene limits are explained and methods for measuring inhalation exposure are described. The next part of the thesis deals with the categorization of work followed by the issue of taking health protection measures in welding. The thesis also focuses on the description of the workplace and the existing exposure including the measures taken. The last part of the thesis is devoted to the actual measurement of welding fumes and the evaluation of the data obtained. Based on these data, a further approach to the problem is proposed and the results discussed.
