gas cylinders are normally used when welding, treat them with care.
1. protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks and arcs.
2. install and secure cylinders so that they cannot fall or tip over by fastening them to a mounting bracket,
wall or other stationary support.
3. keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits.
4. never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder.
protect coMpressed gas cylinders:
protect eyes and skin froM arc rays, protect ears froM noise:
Welding arc rays produce intense heat and ultraviolet rays that can burn eyes and skin. noise from some
processes can also damage hearing.
1. Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper filter lens (see ansi Z49.1 for detailed information).
2. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from welding flash and glare.
