If you're after a generic set of control measures, you should check the HSE's COSHH essentials for controlling welding fume exposure https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/guidance/wl3.pdf

However, I would strongly encourage you to perform your own COSHH risk assessment to ensure that you've properly accounted for all risk factors in your process. A generic assessment is unlikely to meet the suitable and sufficient standard.
