Les CHAMPS ÉLECTROMAGNÉTIQUES (CEM)
peuvent affecter les implants médicaux.

D

Les porteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques et

autres implants médicaux doivent rester à

distance.

D

Les porteurs d’implants médicaux doivent consulter leur médecin

et le fabricant du dispositif avant de s’approcher de la zone où se

déroule du soudage à l’arc, du soudage par points, du gougeage,

de la découpe plasma ou une opération de chauffage par

induction.

LE BRUIT peut endommager l’ouïe.

Le bruit des processus et des équipements peut

affecter l’ouïe.

D

Porter des protections approuvées pour les

oreilles si le niveau sonore est trop élevé.

Les bouteilles de gaz comprimé contiennent du

gaz sous haute pression. Si une bouteille est

endommagée, elle peut exploser. Du fait que

les  bouteilles de gaz font normalement partie du procédé de

soudage, les manipuler avec précaution.

LES BOUTEILLES peuvent exploser

si elles sont endommagées.

D

Protéger les bouteilles de gaz comprimé d’une chaleur excessive,

des chocs mécaniques, des dommages physiques, du laitier, des

flammes ouvertes, des étincelles et des arcs.

D

Placer les bouteilles debout en les fixant dans un support station-

naire ou dans un porte-bouteilles pour les empêcher de tomber ou

de se renverser.

D

Tenir les bouteilles éloignées des circuits de soudage ou autres

circuits électriques.

D

Ne jamais placer une torche de soudage sur une bouteille à gaz.

D

Une électrode de soudage ne doit jamais entrer en contact avec

une bouteille.

D

Ne jamais souder une bouteille pressurisée 

 risque d’explosion.

D

Utiliser seulement des bouteilles de gaz comprimé, régulateurs,

tuyaux et raccords convenables pour cette application spécifique;

les maintenir ainsi que les éléments associés en bon état.

D

Tourner le dos à la sortie de vanne lors de l’ouverture de la vanne

de la bouteille. Ne pas se tenir devant ou derrière le régulateur lors

de l’ouverture de la vanne.

D

Le couvercle du détendeur doit toujours être en place, sauf lorsque

la bouteille est utilisée ou qu’elle est reliée pour usage ultérieur.

D

Utilisez les équipements corrects, les bonnes procédures et suffi-

samment de personnes pour soulever, déplacer et transporter les

bouteilles.

D

Lire et suivre les instructions sur les bouteilles de gaz comprimé,

l’équipement connexe et le dépliant P-1 de la CGA (Compressed Gas

Association) mentionné dans les principales normes de sécurité.

2-3.

Dangers supplémentaires en relation avec l’installation, le fonctionnement et la maintenance

Risque D’INCENDIE OU D’EXPLOSION.

D

Ne pas placer l’appareil sur, au-dessus ou

à proximité de surfaces inflammables.

D

Ne pas installer l’appareil à proximité de pro-

duits inflammables.

D

Ne pas surcharger l’installation électrique 

 s’assurer que

l’alimentation est correctement dimensionnée et protégée avant

de mettre l’appareil en service.

LA CHUTE DE L’ÉQUIPEMENT peut

provoquer des blessures.

D

Utiliser l’anneau de levage uniquement pour

soulever l’appareil, NON PAS les chariots, les

bouteilles de gaz ou tout autre accessoire.

D

Utilisez les procédures correctes et des équipements d’une capa-

cité appropriée pour soulever et supporter l’appareil.

D

En utilisant des fourches de levage pour déplacer l’unité, s’assurer

que les fourches sont suffisamment longues pour dépasser du

côté opposé de l’appareil.

D

Tenir l’équipement (câbles et cordons) à distance des véhicules

mobiles lors de toute opération en hauteur.

D

Suivre les consignes du Manuel des applications pour l’équation

de levage NIOSH révisée (Publication Nº94–110) lors du levage

manuelle de pièces ou équipements lourds.

L’EMPLOI EXCESSIF peut

SURCHAUFFER L’ÉQUIPEMENT.

D

Prévoir une période de refroidissement ; res-

pecter le cycle opératoire nominal.

D

Réduire le courant ou le facteur de marche

avant de poursuivre le soudage.

D

Ne pas obstruer les passages d’air du poste.

LES ÉTINCELLES PROJETÉES

peuvent provoquer des blessures.

D

Porter un écran facial pour protéger le visage et

les yeux.

D

Affûter l’électrode au tungstène uniquement à

la meuleuse dotée de protecteurs. Cette manœuvre est à exé-

cuter dans un endroit sûr lorsque l’on porte l’équipement ho-

mologué de protection du visage, des mains et du corps.

D

Les étincelles risquent de causer un incendie 

 éloigner toute

substance inflammable.

LES CHARGES ÉLECTROSTATI-

QUES peuvent endommager les cir-

cuits imprimés.

D

Établir la connexion avec la barrette de terre

avant de manipuler des cartes ou des pièces.

D

Utiliser des pochettes et des boîtes antistatiques pour stocker, dé-

placer ou expédier des cartes de circuits imprimes.

Les PIÈCES MOBILES peuvent

causer des blessures.

D

Ne pas s’approcher des organes mobiles.

D

Ne pas s’approcher des points de coincement

tels que des rouleaux de commande.

LES FILS DE SOUDAGE peuvent

provoquer des blessures.

D

Ne pas appuyer sur la gâchette avant d’en

avoir reçu l’instruction.

D

Ne pas diriger le pistolet vers soi, d’autres

personnes ou toute pièce mécanique en engageant le fil de

soudage.

L’EXPLOSION DE LA BATTERIE

peut provoquer des blessures.

D

Ne pas utiliser l’appareil de soudage pour 

charger des batteries ou faire démarrer des

véhicules à l’aide de câbles de démarrage,

sauf si l’appareil dispose d’une fonctionnalité

de charge de batterie destinée à cet usage.

Les PIÈCES MOBILES peuvent

causer des blessures.

D

S’abstenir de toucher des organes mobiles tels

que des ventilateurs.

D

Maintenir fermés et verrouillés les portes,

panneaux, recouvrements et dispositifs de protection.
