Fumes and Gases
-Fumes emitted from the welding process displace clean air and can result in injury or death.
-Do not breathe in fumes emitted by the welding process. Make sure your breathing air is clean and safe.
-Work only in a well-ventilated area or use a ventilation device to remove welding fumes from the environment where you
will be working.
-Do not weld on coated materials (galvanized, cadmium plated or containing zinc, mercury or barium). They will emit
harmful fumes that are dangerous to breathe. If necessary use a ventilator, respirator with air supply or remove the
coating from the material in the weld area.
-The fumes emitted from some metals when heated are extremely toxic. Refer to the material safety data sheet for the
manufacturer’s instructions.
-Do not weld near materials that will emit toxic fumes when heated. Vapors from cleaners, sprays and degreasers can be
highly toxic when heated.
UV and IR Arc Rays
The welding arc produces ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays that can cause injury to your eyes and skin. Do not look at
the welding arc without proper eye protection.
-Always use a helmet that covers your full face from the neck to top of head and to the back of each ear.
-Use a lens that meets ANSI standards and safety glasses.
-Cover all bare skin areas exposed to the arc with protective clothing and shoes. Flame-retardant cloth or leather shirts,
coats, pants or coveralls are available for protection.
-Use screens or other barriers to protect other people from the arc rays emitted from your welding.
-Warn people in your welding area when you are going to strike an arc so they can protect themselves.
Fire Hazards
Do not weld on containers or pipes that contain or have had flammable, gaseous or liquid combustibles in them. Welding
creates sparks and heat that can ignite flammable and
explosive materials.
-Do not operate any electric arc welder in areas where flammable or explosive materials are present.
-Remove all flammable materials within 35 feet of the welding arc. If removal is not possible, tightly cover them with
fireproof covers.
-Take precautions to ensure that flying sparks do not cause fires or explosions in hidden areas, cracks or areas you
cannot see.
-Keep a fire extinguisher close in the case of fire.
-Wear garments that are oil-free with no pockets or cuffs that will collect sparks.
-Do not have on your person any items that are combustible, such as lighters or matches.
-Keep work lead connected as close to the weld area as possible to prevent any unknown, unintended paths of electrical
current from causing electrical shock and fire hazards.
-To prevent any unintended arcs, cut wire back to
¼ " stick out after welding.
Hot Materials
Welded materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled improperly.
-Do not touch welded materials with bare hands.
-Do not touch MIG gun nozzle after welding until it has had time to cool down.
