Leather leggings, fire resistant
•
shoes or boots should be worn
when using this product. Do not
wear pants with cuffs, shirts with
open pockets, or any clothing that

-
stances. Wear dry, insulating gloves
and protective clothing.
Wear an approved head covering
•
to protect the head and neck. Use
aprons, cape, sleeves, shoulder
covers, and bibs designed and
approved for welding and cut ting
procedures.
When welding/cutting overhead

or in confined spaces, wear flame
resistant ear plugs or ear muffs to
keep sparks out of ears.
14.
Prevent accidental fires.
Remove any combustible
material from the work
area.
When possible, move the work to a
•
location well away from combustible
materials. If relocation is not pos-
sible, protect the combustibles with
a cover made of fire resistant mate
-
rial.
Remove or make safe all combus-
•
tible materials for a radius of 35 feet
(10 meters) around the work area.
Use a fire resistant material to cover
or block all open doorways, win-
dows, cracks, and other openings.
Enclose the work area with por-
•
table fire resistant screens. Protect
combustible walls, ceilings, floors,
etc., from sparks and heat with fire
resistant covers.
If working on a metal wall, ceiling,
•
etc., prevent ignition of combus-
tibles on the other side by moving
the combustibles to a safe loca-
tion. If relocation of combustibles
is not possible, designate someone
to serve as a fire watch, equipped
with a fire extinguisher, during the
cutting process and for at least one
half hour after the cutting is com-
pleted.
Do not weld or cut on materials
•
having a combustible coating or
combustible internal structure, as
in walls or ceilings, without an ap-
proved method for eliminating the
hazard.
Do not dispose of hot slag in con-
•
tainers holding combustible materi-
als. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby
and know how to use it.
After cutting, make a thorough
•
examination for evidence of fire. Be
aware that easily-visible smoke or
flame may not be present for some
time after the fire has started. Do
not weld or cut in atmospheres
containing dangerously reactive or
flammable gases, vapors, liquids,
and dust. Provide adequate ven
-
tilation in work areas to prevent
accumulation of flammable gases,
