Welding Rod Injuries
When two metals are welded together, a harmful emission of manganese, carbon monoxide, and other substances occurs. Manganese is a toxic substance and has been shown to cause serious injury in a short amount of time. Welding rod fumes have been linked to severe and irreversible brain damage including paralysis, the disease Parkinsonism, and manganese poisoning called Manganism in exposed workers. Welding rod manufacturers and companies who failed to take safety measures to protect welding rod workers may be held financially responsible for these injuries. If you or a loved one has brain or central nervous system damage, and you suspect it may have been caused by welding rod fumes, contact Chalik & Chalik right away.
