Lincoln Electric last week launched its “Are You Ready?” awareness campaign to educate employers and the general welding community about the new Occupational Health & Safety Administration regulations, including the hexavalent chromium standards going into effect on May 31, 2010.

The campaign promotes effective welding fume control and safety practices, offering access to a comprehensive one-stop shop of reference materials, tools and product solutions.
