the acid before disposing of the decomposed Viton residue and final cleaning of the area.
After use, the plastic gloves should be discarded carefully and safely.
Welding
See also Fire, Electric Shock, Gas Cylinders.
Welding processes include Resistance Welding (Spot Welding), Arc Welding and Gas
Welding.
Resistance Welding
This process may cause particles of molten metal to be emitted at a high velocity, and the
eyes and skin must be protected.
Arc Welding
This process emits a high level of ultra-violet radiation, which may cause arc-eye, and skin
burns to the operator and to other persons nearby. Gas-shielded welding processes are
particularly hazardous in this respect. Personal protection must be worn, and screens used
to shield other people.
CONTACT LENS WEARERS ARE ADVISED TO REVERT TO ORDINARY SPECTACLES WHEN
ARC WELDING as the arc spectrum is believed to emit microwaves which dry out the fluid
between the lens and the eye. This may result in blindness when the lens is removed from
the eye.
Metal spatter will also occur, and appropriate eye and skin protection is necessary.
The heat of the welding arc will produce fumes and gases from the metals being welded,
the rods and from any applied coatings or contamination on the surfaces being worked on.
These gases and fumes may be toxic and inhalation of these should be avoided. The use of
extraction ventilation to remove the fumes from the working area may be necessary
particularly in cases where the general ventilation is poor, or where considerable welding
work is anticipated. In extreme cases or confined spaces where adequate ventilation cannot
be provided, air-fed respirators may be necessary.
Gas Welding (and Cutting)
Oxy-acetylene torches may be used for welding and cutting, and special care must be taken
to prevent leakage of these gases, with consequent risk of fire and explosion.
The process will produce metal spatter and eye and skin protection is necessary.
The flame is bright, and eye protection should be used, but the ultra-violet emission is
much less than that from arc welding, and lighter filters may be used.
The process itself produces few toxic fumes, but such fumes and gases may be produced
from coatings on the work, particularly during cutting away of damaged body parts, and
inhalation of the fumes should be avoided.
In brazing, toxic fumes may be produced from the metals in the brazing rod, and a severe
hazard may arise if brazing rods containing cadmium are used. In this event particular care
must be taken to avoid inhalation of fumes and expert advice may be required.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE ANY WELDING OR CUTTING TAKES PLACE
ON VESSELS, WHICH HAVE CONTAINED COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, FOR EXAMPLE
BOILING OR STEAMING OUT OF FUEL TANKS.
Warning Symbols on Vehicles
Decals showing warning symbols will be found on various vehicle components.
These decals must not be removed. The warnings are for the attention of owners/operators
and persons carrying out service or repair operations on the vehicle.
The most commonly found decals are reproduced below together with an explanation of the
