Hexavalent Chromium, or Cr(VI), is used in many industrial processes and can often be found in steel production and metal working. Welders in particular are at risk for CR(VI) exposure; especially when arc welding or stick welding with stainless steel or chromium metal.

The Hexavalent Chromium dust or gasses produced from heated metal attacks the airways, leading to nasal and skin ulcerations, lesions, respiratory ailments, and lung and nasal cancers.

• Exposure levels and assesment
• Observation and Recording of Monitoring
