## What the source says

> 1910 Subpart Q; 1926 Subpart J; 1917.152 This training topic is for workers who weld or cut with torches. It can apply to any sort of welding such as stick or arc welding. In addition to skilled welders, other employees who may need this training include workers who periodically perform welding related to maintenance or repair. Note: During welding, stainless steel, commonly found in working environments associated with food processing, drug manufacturing, and chemical refining, produces a noxious fume resulting from the hazardous chemical hexavalent chromium. Workers with exposure to hexavalent chromium as a welding byproduct need special training on mitigating this hazard. Training frequency: Not addressed by OSHA, best practice is prior to exposure.
