This webinar addresses welding and abrasive hazards, highlighting how the right choice of PPE and abrasives can reduce risks and promote a safe, efficient work environment.Daily exposure to hazards such as welding fumes and hand-arm vibration is a reality for welders and metalworkers. The use of welding equipment and abrasive tools for tasks like weld preparation, welding, refinement, and finishing on different materials can result in respiratory, noise, injury, and vibration risks. However, innovative advancements in abrasives and PPE can control and offer enhanced protection to help mitigate these risks. Health & Safety Managers are crucial in ensuring safe procedures are followed, though they often face challenges in balancing safety with production demands.Join 3M Application Engineers Paul Spooner (PPE) and Theo Simon (Abrasives) to explore how innovative 3M solutions can enhance workplace safety and productivity.

In this webinar we discuss how organisations are responding to this challenge, and the role digital tools can play in turning guidance into action.Work-related stress, depression, and anxiety are now among the leading causes of workplace ill health in the UK, accounting for millions of lost working days each year. For organisations, this makes psychosocial risk both a safety challenge and an occupational health priority. Addressing it requires looking at physical and mental health together and ensuring employees are supported across their entire work journey.Using frameworks such as ISO 45003 and HSE’s stress management standards as reference points, we’ll explore how a digital-first approach can make psychosocial risks visible, measurable, and manageable — enabling earlier intervention, stronger return-to-work processes, clearer reporting, and healthier outcomes for employees and organisations alike.
