WELDING can cause fire or explosion.
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks can fly
off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns.
Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check
and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding.
- Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot
metal.
- Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable
material.
- Remove all flammables within 35ft (10.7m) of the
welding arc. If this is not possible, tightly cover them with
approved covers.
- Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from
welding can easily go through small cracks and openings
to adjacent areas.
- Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
- Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or
partition can cause fire on the hidden side.
- Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums,
or pipes, unless they are properly prepared according to
AWS F4.1 (see Safety Standards).
- Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding
area as practical to prevent welding current from
traveling long, possibly unknown paths and causing
electric shock and fire hazards.
- Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
- Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding
wire at contact tip when not in use.
- Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather
gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a
cap.
- Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or
matches, from your person before doing any welding.
FLYING METAL can injure eyes.
- Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding cause
sparks and flying metal. As welds cool, they can throw
off slag.
- Wear approved safety glasses with side shields even
under your welding helmet.
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.
- Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use.
- Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved air-
supplied respirator.
HOT PARTS can cause severe burns.
- Do not touch hot parts bare handed.
- Allow cooling period before working on gun or torch.
MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect pacemakers.
- Pacemaker wearers keep away.
- Wearers should consult their doctor before going near
arc welding, gouging, or spot welding operations.
