3.5.4 Welding
Area
Do not weld in locations close to chlorinated vapors coming from
degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays from the
arc react with the vapors to form highly toxic PHOSGENE. Work in a
confined space only if it is being adequately ventilated, and if ventilation is
not adequate, wear an air-supplied respirator (see ANSI 2.37).
3.6 COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER HANDLING:
Follow precautions below and those outlined in CGA Standard P-1, Precautions
For Safe Handling Of Compressed Gases in Cylinders.
3.6.1 Cylinders
Handle carefully to prevent damage. Keep away from welding cables or
other electrical circuits. Use only cylinders with name of gas marked on
them; DO NOT rely on color identification. Close valves on empties and
return promptly. Secure cylinders so they cannot be knocked over. Keep
temperature below 130 degrees F.
3.6.2 Pressure
Regulators
Use the correct regulator for the gas and cylinder at hand. Remove any
suspected faulty regulator and return to manufacturer's service center for
repair.
3.7 EQUIPMENT WARNING LABELS:
Inspect all precautionary labels on the equipment.
