"Welding is healthy and safe, provided appropriate procedures are used. EWF has been promoting this idea and raising awareness of companies using welding.
Now with this European Campaign focused on healthier workplaces we hope to raise even more awareness towards the welding industry for the improvement of the working conditions."
