Molten metal
Workers who work with or near molten metal could come into contact with metal splashes and electromagnetic radiation.
Splashes, sparks, radiant heat and radiation from molten metal can result in serious burns and eye damage, including cataracts.
Barriers and other suitable shields should be used or installed to protect workers against molten metal splashes and electromagnetic radiation.
To find out more about how to prevent exposure to molten metal, check molten metal section of the Foundry Industry Code of Practice 2004.
