I have recently been getting into Mig welding and applying it to my project car in my garage. A few of my friends have been reading about the recent re-classifications of welding fumes from a HSE perspective.
I was just wondering if any of these regulation changes have causes many of you to change your habits at home? Much easier at work given the employers requirement to provide such equipment but as its only a hobby for me, its difficult to justify the extra cost.

Interested to hear all your thoughts.
