GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ALL
TYPES OF WELDING
WARNING: As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved
with their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will
considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked, or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
A) Burn prevention
Wear protective clothing - gauntlet gloves designed for use in welding, apron, and protective
shoes. Button shirt collar and pocket flaps, and wear cuffless trousers to avoid entry of sparks
and slag. Wear helmet with safety goggles or glasses with side shields underneath, appropriate
filter lenses or plates (protected by clear glass). This is a MUST for welding (and chipping) to
protect the eyes from radiant energy and spatter. Replace cover glass when broken, pitted, or
spattered. Avoid oily greasy clothing. A spark may ignite them. Hot metal should never be
handled without gloves. First aid facilities and a qualified first aid person should be available
unless medical facilities are close by for immediate treatment of flash burns of the eyes and skin
burns. Ear plugs should be worn when working overhead or in a confined space. A hard hat
should be worn when others work overhead. Flammable hair preparations should not be used by
persons intending to weld or cut.
NOTE: ALL protective wear incl. masks & head shields MUST comply with PPE
Directive 89/686/EEC
B) Toxic fume prevention
Severe discomfort, illness or death can result from fumes, vapours, heat, or oxygen enrichment
or depletion that welding (or cutting) may produce. Prevent them with adequate ventilation.
NEVER ventilate with oxygen. Lead-, cadmium-, zinc-, mercury- and beryllium-, bearing
materials, when welded (or cut) may produce harmful concentrations of toxic fumes. Adequate
local exhaust ventilation must be used, or each person in the area as well as the operator must
wear an air- supplied respirator. For beryllium, both must be used. Metals coated with or
containing materials that emit toxic fumes should not be heated unless coating is removed from
the work surface, the area is well ventilated, or the operator wears an air-supplied respirator.
Work in a confined space only while it is being force ventilated and, if necessary, while wearing
an air-supplied respirator. Vapours from chlorinated solvents can be decomposed by the heat of
the arc (or flame) to form PHOSGENE, a highly toxic gas, and other lung and eye irritating
products. The ultraviolet (radiant) energy of the arc can also decompose trichloroethylene and
perchloroethylene vapours to form phosgene. DO NOT WELD or cut where solvent vapours can
be drawn into the welding or cutting atmosphere or where the radiant energy can penetrate to
atmospheres containing even minute amounts of trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene.
