Human exposed to the electromagnetic field may cause unknown health
effects.
3
Welders should minimize electromagnetic field damage through the following
methods.
3.1
Wrap the electrodes and the working cable with insulating cloth and secure
them with tape if possible.
3.2
Do not wrap wires and cables around arms.
3.3
Do not put cables around your body. Put the cables on one side if possible.
3.4
The clamping position on the work piece, by the working cable, should be as
close as possible to the area to be welded or cut.
3.5
The welding/cutting machine and cable shall not be close to the body during
operation.
Protection Against Fumes and Gas
Welding and cutting produces a lot of fumes and gas, which is
harmful to human health.
1
Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
2
Keep well ventilation in welding/cutting working environment. Do not weld or
cut in a confined space and there must be an air exhaust and dust remove
system.
3
Do not weld in locations near degreasing or spraying operations. The heat
and arc produced in the operation can react with chlorinated hydrocarbon to
form highly toxic and irritating gases, which is harmful to the human body
and might cause birth defects, and in some cases, can lead to cancer.
4
If you experience temporary eye, nose, or throat discomfort during
welding/cutting operation, it may be caused by inadequate ventilation.
Please stop the operation immediately and take measures to improve
ventilation in the working area.
5
For specific ventilation requirements of welding and cutting working area,
please refer to relevant documents of welder profession.
