surrounding area. Skin should be protected from arc rays, heat, and molten metal. Always wear protective
gloves and clothing. All pockets should be closed and cuffs sewn shut. Leather aprons, sleeves, leggings,
etc. should be worn for out-of-position welding and cutting, or for heavy operations using large electrodes.
Hightop work shoes provide adequate protection from foot burns. For added protection, use leather spats.
Flammable hair preparations should not be used when welding/cutting. Wear ear plugs to protect ears
from sparks. Where work permits, the operator should be enclosed in an individual booth painted with a
low reflective material such as zinc oxide.
See safety and operating references 1, 2, and 3.
WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
Combustibles reached by the arc, flame, flying sparks, hot slag, and heated materials can
cause fire and explosions. Remove combustibles from the work area and/or provide a fire
watch. Avoid oily or greasy clothing as a spark may ignite them. Have a fire extinguisher
nearby, and know how to use it. If welding/cutting is to be done on a metal wall, partition,
ceiling, or roof, precautions must be taken to prevent ignition of nearby combustibles on the other side. Do
not weld/cut containers that have held combustibles. All hollow spaces, cavities, and containers should be
vented prior to welding/cutting to permit the escape of air or gases. Purging with inert gas is recommend-
ed.
Never use oxygen in a welding torch. Use only inert gases or inert gas mixes as required by the
process. Use of combustible compressed gases can cause explosions resulting in personal injury or death.
Arcing against any compressed gas cylinder can cause cylinder damage or explosion.
See safety and
operating references 1, 2, 5, 7, and 8.
NOISE CAN DAMAGE HEARING
Noise from the air carbon-arc process can damage your hearing. Wear protective hearing
devices to ensure protection when noise levels exceed OHSA standards. Adequate hearing
protection devices must be worn by operators and surrounding personnel to ensure personal
protection against noise.
See safety and operating references 1, 2, and 6.
