A member asked:
I'm 14 weeks pregnant and work as a welding facilitator. i have to demonstrate sometimes and weld. what are the dangers of welding while pregnant. how does it affect the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple dangers.: According to NCBI: exposure during pregnancy to welding fumes (WF) and metal dusts or fumes (MD/F) independently and jointly increases the risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight, and small-for-gestational age. It is also a possibility to get shocked or burned while welding. Talk to your OSHA supervisor and ask what options you have to avoid these during your pregnancy.
