Constricted and wet areas
When working in constricted, wet or hot areas, use
insulating supports and intermediate layers as well
as slip-on gloves made of leather or other non-
conductive materials to insulate your body against
the floor, walls, conductive parts of the machine and
the like.
If you use small welding transformers for welding in
places with an increase electrical risk, for example in
constricted areas with conductive walls, (tanks,
pipes, etc.), in wet areas (which make work clothes
wet) and in hot areas (perspiration on work clothes),
the output voltage of the welding set when idling
must not exceed 42 V (effective value). Therefore,
the appliance may not be used for these purposes
because its output voltage is higher than this.
Safety clothing
1.
While working, the welder must protect his entire
body from radiation and burns by wearing
suitable clothing and a face guard.
2.
Slip-on gloves made of a suitable material
(leather) must be worn on both hands. They
must be in perfect condition.
3.
Suitable aprons must be worn to protect clothing
from sparks and burns. A safety suit and, if
necessary, head protection must be worn if
required by the type of work in question, e.g.
overhead welding.
4. The protective clothing used as well as all
accessories must be in compliance with the
“Personal safety equipment” EU Directive.
Protection from radiation and burns
1.
Provide information about the risk to eyes at the
working site in the form of a poster with the
wording “Caution – do not look at the flames”.
Workplaces are to be screened off wherever
possible so that personnel in the vicinity are
protected. Unauthorized persons are to be kept
away from the welding work.
2.
The walls in the immediate vicinity of stationary
workplaces should not have a light color or a
sheen. Windows up to head height are to be
protected against radiation passing through them
or reflecting off them, for example by coating
them with a suitable paint.
