7. Do not handle hot metal rods with bare hands. Handling may result in a
burn injury.

there is a danger of falling.
9. Do not point the torch at any body part of yourself or at anyone else.
10. Do not use a welding unit to thaw frozen pipes.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
Welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten metal drops
and hot metal parts that can start fires.
1. Clear the floor and walls of an area of all combustible and/or
flammable materials up to 39 ft (12 metres) away from the welding
unit. Hot debris ejected during welding can land at a considerable
distance away. Solid floors of concrete or masonry is the preferred
working surface.
1.1 Cover any combustible material with fire resistant covers or
shields, if it cannot be removed. The covering must be tight
and should not leave openings for sparks or ejected slag to
enter.
1.2. Check both sides of a panel or wall for combustible material.
Remove the combustible material before welding.
2. A combustible floor should be protected with a fire resistant
covering. Alternatives are to spray the floor with water to keep it wet
for the duration of the welding or cover with damp sand.
3. Seal cracks and openings to adjacent areas that a spark or slag
can enter. Seal any openings found with a fire-resistant cover. Shut
doors and windows that do not provide ventilation or erect
protective screens in front of them when possible.
4. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines or containers containing
flammable contents.
5. Do not perform any welding work on containers that held
flammable or toxic substance, until they are cleaned by a person
trained in removing toxic and flammable substances and vapours
per the American Welding Standard AWS F4.1.
