Have a suitable, approved fire extinguisher in the welding suit
Control the spatter from falling on clothes or the body
Do not perform welding in location that are at risk from fire or
explosion, or in enclosed tanks, barrels or pipes, unless the latter have
been prepared for welding in accordance with the relevant national and
international standards. Sparks and hot metal particles may also get
into surrounding areas through small crack and holes. Take suitable
measures here to ensure that there is no risk of injury
Welding must never be performed on containers which still have gases,
fuels, mineral oils etc. Traces of these substance left in the containers
are a major explosion hazard.
The fumes given off during welding contain gases and vapors are
harmful to health
Welding fumes may contain substances which may cause birth defects
and cancer
Do not inhale any fumes or noxious gases that are given off
Air circulation to maintain the welding site, welding site should be
proper ventilation exhaust soot facilities
The situation with insufficient ventilation should use a respirator mask
with an independent air supply
The harmful of welding fumes will depend on the following
components: the metals used in and for the workpiece, electrodes,
coating, cleaning and degreasing agents and the like
Lift up with forklift or hoist. When hoisting the machine by crane, only
