Put Safety into Practice
-
Workers in the metal fabrication industry face numerous hazardous and potentially hazardous levels of exposure. In fact, met-fab has one of the highest rates of OSHA recordable injuries. With this backdrop, 3M has been hard at work to offer products that provide options for you as you work to ensure worker protection, and productivity among workers in met-fab, like welders.
When it comes to welder’s personal safety, we want to help. We’re proud that our Technical Service team has been helping customers get the right support for more than 35 years.
