Prevention against burns and radiation

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense, visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared)
rays that can burn eyes and skin.

Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter lens to protect your face
and eyes when welding or watching

Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.

Never use broken or faulty welding helmets.

Always ensure there are adequate protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,
glare and sparks from the welding area. Ensure that there are adequate warnings that welding or
cutting is taking place.

Wear suitable protective flame resistant clothing. The sparks and spatter from welding, hot work
pieces, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns

Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode.

Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause arcs, explosion, overheating, or fire.

Check and be sure the area is safe and clear of inflammable material before carrying out any
welding.
Protection against noise

Some welding and cutting operations may produce noise.

Wear safety ear protection to protect your hearing.
Protection from moving parts

When the machine is in operation, keep away from moving parts such as motors and fans. Moving
parts, such as the fan, may cut fingers and hands and snag garments.

Protections and coverings may be removed for maintenance and controls only by qualified
personnel, after first disconnecting the power supply cable.

Replace the coverings and protections and close all doors when the intervention is finished, and
before starting the equipment.

Take care to avoid getting fingers trapped when loading and feeding wire during set up and
operation.

When feeding wire be careful to avoid pointing it at other people or toward your body.

Always ensure machine covers and protective devices are in operation.
Precautions against fire and explosion

Avoid causing fires due to sparks and hot waste or molten metal

Ensure that appropriate fire safety devices are available near the cutting / welding area.

Remove all flammable and combustible materials from the cutting / welding zone and
surrounding areas

Do not cut/weld fuel and lubricant containers, even if empty. These must be carefully cleaned
before they can be cut/welded.

Always allow the cut/welded material to cool before touching it or placing it in contact with
combustible or flammable material.

Do not work in atmospheres with high concentrations of combustible fumes, flammable gases
and dust.

Always check the work area half an hour after cutting to make sure that no fires have begun
