area.
Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected
to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the
welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create
fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
Rotating parts may be dangerous.
Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and
properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be
suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.
Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
Cylinders should be located:
-
Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage.
-
A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or
flame.
Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or
connected for use.
1.3 The knowledge of Electric and Magnetic Fields
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). The
discuss on the effect of EMF is ongoing all the world. Up to now, no material evidences show that EMF
may have effects on health. However, the research on damage of EMF is still ongoing. Before any
conclusion, we should minimize exposure to EMF as few as possible.
In order to minimize EMF, we should use the following procedures:
