Safe practices when using
welding equipment
These notes are provided in the interests
of improving operator safety. They should
be considered only as a basic guide to Safe
Working Habits. A full list of Standards
pertaining to industry is available from
the Standards Association of Australia,
also various State Electricity Authorities,
Departments of Labour and Industry or
Mines Department and other Local Health
or Safety Inspection Authorities may have
additional requirements. Australian Standard
AS1674.2 provides a comprehensive guide to
safe practices in welding.
Eye and face protection
Plasma Arc Cutting produces Optical
radiation above safe levels for the
unprotected eyes in the ultraviolet-C,
ultraviolet-B, and visible light ranges.
Therefore it is recommended to protect
exposed skin and eyes from UV radiation
with appropriate protection.
For current of 20-45 Amp the recommended
eye protection Lens shade Number is 5.
Burn protection
Although the plasma arc is not as intense
as arc welding processes, there is still high
level of Ultra violet radiation. Its radiation
can damage eyes, penetrate light-weight
clothing, reflect from light-coloured surfaces,
and burn the skin and eyes. Radiation burns
resulting from arcs resemble acute sunburn,
but can be more severe and painful.
Wear protective clothing – leather or heat
resistant gloves, hat, and safety-toed boots.
Button shirt collar and pocket flaps, and
wear cuffless trousers to avoid entry of
sparks and slag.
