9.1 Welding a combustible metal like zinc, magnesium or
titanium requires a Type D fire extinguisher.
9.2 Do not use liquid based fire extinguishing methods
near the electric arc plasma cutting machine, as it may
cause a shock hazard.
10. Ventilation systems should be positioned so sparks or
molten slag isn’t carried to an adjacent area.
11. Have a Fire Watcher observing areas outside of the
welder’s view, such as the opposite side of a wall or behind
the welder. A fire may also start on the other side of a
structure that could not be removed. The Fire Watcher will
extinguish a fire or raise the alarm to evacuate if the fire
cannot be contained by the extinguishing equipment.
11.1 A fire watch extends at least 30 minutes after the
welding is complete to ensure there are no fires caused
by smoldering sparks or ejected material.
FUMES AND GASES
WARNING! Stop welding and move to a location with
ventilation if your eyes, nose or throat become irritated. This
indicates the ventilation is not adequate to remove the fumes.
Do not resume welding or cutting until the ventilation is
improved and the discomfort ceases. Seek medical attention
if the symptoms do not diminish or if the welder experiences
nausea, dizziness or malaise.
Welding or cutting may produce hazardous fumes and gas during
the welding process. A well ventilated work area can normally
remove the fumes and gases, but sometimes the welding
produces fumes and gases that are hazardous to your health.
1. Only work in a confined space if the area is well ventilated
or while wearing a respirator or an air-supplied respirator.
Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the
oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing
air is safe. Always have a trained watchperson nearby.
