Welding Safety: Identifying HIGH-RISK Practices

Unsafe welding practices often stem from complacency, inadequate training, or failure to use proper personal protective equipment (PPE), leading to significant risks like electric shock, toxic fume inhalation, burns, and fires. The injury rate for welding is substantially higher than in many other industries, making strict adherence to safety guidelines crucial.

FIRE SAFETY UPDATE I ISO 3941:2026 introduces a NEW FIRE CLASS: CLASS L approved by the International Organization for Standardization.

CLASS L is dedicated to LITHIUM-ION Battery Fires. Previously, lithium-ion battery fires were often managed under the classification of Class A or Class B fires.

Lithium Battery Hazards:
- Thermal Runaway
- Re-ignition Risk
- Toxic Smoke & Gas

Why this Matters:
- Lithium-Ion Batteries: Unique & High-Risk Fire Hazards.
- Thermal Runaway: Risk of intense heat and re-ignition.
- Legacy Classes Inadequate: Standard methods often failed.
- Need for Specialized Solutions: Proper tools for modern tech.

STAY ALERT: One battery can cause a major fire!

STRENGTHENING SAFETY COMMITMENT I The Philippine Navy Safety Office, in cooperation with the Naval Combat Engineering Brigade and Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC) of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), successfully conducted the 5-day Construction Occupational Safety and Health (COSH) training-workshop at the Naval Combat Engineering Brigade on 09-13 February 2026.

A total of 62 safety advocates successfully completed the training workshop and joined the ranks of Philippine Navy Safety Officers.

The following obtained a perfect score in their daily assessments during the training:
1. LT QUEEN SOFIA C. AYALA PN
2. EA2 WYLER D. URMANETA PN

The following achieved high scores in the post-test:
1. LT QUEEN SOFIA C. AYALA PN
2. ENS WENCESLAO N. BELANO PN
3. PO3 MICHAEL VON G. BANAAG PN
4. PO3 MICHAEL F. ESGUERRA PN
5. ASJO SHAHEER O. GUMAMPANG PN
6. EA2 LIEZEL L. LAURENTE PN
7. F1EA ALEXIS CARL V. PALMERO PN
8. PO2 DARWIN JAY B. PANGANIBAN PN

As construction is one of the most dangerous industries, workers are exposed daily to risks such as falls, heavy machinery accidents, chemical exposure, and electrical hazards. COSH training plays a vital role in reducing dangers and ensuring safe, productive worksites.
