Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes
and gases can be hazardous to your health
.
Keep your head
out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.

If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to
remove welding fumes and gases. If ventilation is poor, use an
approved air-supplied respirator.

Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator
. Always have a trained watch-
person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the
breathing air is safe.

Do not weld in locations near cleaning, or spraying operations .
The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly
toxic and irritating gases.

Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or
cadmium plated steel
, unless the coating is removed from the
weld area, the area is well ventilated, and if necessary, while
wearing an air-supplied respirator.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible
and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn
eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.

Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to
protect your face and eyes when welding or watching.

Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.

Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and
glare;
warn others not to watch the arc.

Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant
material (leather and wool) and foot protection.
