For the third year running, Apex Welding Safety has been given Weld Australia's Welding Excellence Award for Health & Safety in Welding!
AWS is again honoured to be recognised by Weld Australia in this field, and we look forward to continuing our support of the incredible work they do for the safety of Australian welders.
2025 has been another huge year for AWS, and as our portfolio of welding safety products continues to expand, effective protection against welding fume is becoming more financially viable. To that end, the year began with the introduction of a new suite of cost-effective welding fume controls.
These budget-friendly, high quality welding fume product control options span across PPE, Portable LEV, and On-Gun Fume Extraction.

Another highlight from the year was one of our biggest giveaways in company history, as we gave Australian and New Zealand workplaces the chance to win Speedglas G5-03 Pro Air Welding Helmets for ALL the welders in their workshop.
Following thousands of entries, the Deck-Out Your Workplace prize eventually went to Custom Auto Gates in Queensland, as every welder onsite was upgraded to the latest in respiratory welding helmet technology!
Finally, in light of the lowering of the Welding Fume Workplace Exposure Standard from 5mg/m3 to 1mg/m3, and the launch of the Speedglas G5-03 Pro Air, the Speedglas Powered Air Training Academy modules have now been updated!
Occupational health and safety legislation requires employers to protect the welder with information, training, and instruction in the proper use of PPE. The SPATA program has been prepared in combination with occupational hygienists, welders, and industry professionals, to save your business time, hassle, and expense when it comes to training your welders on the proper use of their PPE.
