Apex Welding Safety - AWS

AWS was established in 1994 and has played a key role in the welding industry ever since.

As an advocate for welders’ safety in Australia and New Zealand, AWS has published numerous Welding Safety White Papers, Welding Industry Reports, and Welding Fume Control Frameworks. AWS is a company that specialises in welding safety equipment, and it is our goal to raise awareness on the important issues that welders face.

As the sole agent for the 3M™ Speedglas™ range of welding helmets with integrated respiratory protection, the Nederman and Bomaksan range of portable local exhaust ventilation fume protection systems, the Translas on-gun welding fume extraction range, the range of Guide welding gloves, and a 3M personal protective equipment wholesaler, AWS are extremely well placed to help businesses understand the different types of product controls that can be introduced into the workplace to better protect welders and those who work in close proximity to welders.

AWS can assist and support workplaces navigate and understand every level of the hierarchy of control and understand their responsibilities as an employer of welders, relevant to eye, face, head, hearing, hand, and respiratory protection.
