Abstract
This study is to assess the health risk of heavy metal in welding fumes that may affect the human respiratory system. It is imperative to evaluate the current condition in the automotive industry in Malaysia, the welders exposed to welding fumes via inhalation before any risk control implemented. In this study, three manufacturing industries associated with automotive production were selected for health risk assessment from hazardous chemical exposure among welders. The developed method by Malaysian Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) and EPA inhalation risk assessment model were adopted in this study. The result indicates that exposure to heavy metals in welding fumes was found significantly higher for both occupational hazard risk and EPA inhalation risk assessment method at the range of 82% to 89% in which exceeded the permissible exposure limit (PELs). The finding of the corrective measures at all selected plants should be implemented to reduce heavy metal fumes in welding areas, thus lesser the occupational risk among automotive industry welders.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
