Cylinder can explode if damaged.
•
Pressure gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a
cylinder can explode. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the
welding process, be sure to treat them carefully.
•
Cylinders should be located away from areas where they may be
struck or subjected to physical damage. Use proper equipment,
procedures, and sufficient number of persons to lift and move
cylinders.
•
Always install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a
stationary support or cylinder rack to prevent falling over or tipping.
•
Keep a safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any
other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
•
No touching cylinder by welding electrode, electrode holder or any
other electrically “hot” parts. Do not drape welding cables or welding
torches over a gas cylinder.
•
Use only correct compressed gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and
fittings designed for the process used; maintain them and associated
parts in good condition.
•
Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding
gas for the and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the
application and maintained in good condition.
•
Open the cylinder valve slowly and keep your head and face away from
the cylinder valve outlet.
Valve protection caps should be kept in place over valve expect when the
cylinder is in use or connected for use.
Hot parts can burn
•
Do not touch hot parts with bare hand or skin.
•
Ensure equipment is cooled down before perform any work.
•
If touching hot parts is needed, use proper tools and/or wear heavy,
insulated welding gloves and clothing to prevent burns.
Flying metal or dirt can injure eyes
•
When welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding can cause sparks
and flying metal. It can hurt your eyes.
•
Remember wear appropriate safety glasses with side shields when in
welding zone, even under your welding helmet.
Noise can damage hearing
•
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
Remember wear approved ear protection to protect ears if noise level is
high.
Moving parts can injure
•
Stay away from moving parts such as fans.
•
Stay away from pinch points such as drive rolls.
•
Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and securely in
place.
