NOTE
Considerations About Welding And The
Effects of Low Frequency Electric and
Magnetic Fields
The following is a quotation from the General Con-
clusions Section of the U.S. Congress, Office of
Technology Assessment, Biological Effects of Power
Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields - Background
Paper, OTA-BP-E-63 (Washington, DC: U.S. Govern-
ment Printing Office, May 1989): “...there is now
a very large volume of scientific findings based on
experiments at the cellular level and from studies with
animals and people which clearly establish that low
frequency magnetic fields interact with, and produce
changes in, biological systems. While most of this
work is of very high quality, the results are complex.
Current scientific understanding does not yet allow us
to interpret the evidence in a single coherent frame-
work. Even more frustrating, it does not yet allow
us to draw definite conclusions about questions of
possible risk or to offer clear science-based advice
on strategies to minimize or avoid potential risks.”
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the
following procedures.
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or
taping them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the
operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cable around the body.
4. Keep welding Power Source and cables as far
away from body as practical.
ABOUT PACEMAKERS:
The above procedures are among
those also normally recommended for
pacemaker wearers. Consult your doctor
for complete information.
1.02 General Safety Information For
Victor CS Regulator
A Fire Prevention
Welding and cutting operations use fire or combus-
tion as a basic tool. The process is very useful when
properly controlled. However, it can be extremely
destructive if not performed cor rectly in the proper
environment.
1. The work area must have a fireproof floor.
2. Work benches or tables used during welding
or cutting operations must have fireproof
tops.
3. Use heat resistant shields or other approved
material to protect nearby walls or unprotected
flooring from sparks and hot metal.
4. Keep an approved fire extinguisher of the
proper size and type in the work area. Inspect
it regularly to ensure that it is in proper work-
ing order. Know how to use the fire extin-
guisher.
5. Move combustible materials away from the
work site. If you can not move them, protect
them with fireproof covers.

WARNING
NEVER perform welding, heating, or cut-
ting operations on a container that has
held toxic, combustible or flammable liq-
uids, or vapors. NEVER perform welding,
heating, or cutting operations in an area
containing combustible vapors, flam mable
liquids, or explosive dust.
B Housekeeping
!
WARNING
NEVER
allow oxygen to contact grease, oil,
or other flam mable substances. Although
oxygen by itself will not burn, these sub-
stances become highly explosive. They
can ignite and burn violently in the pres-
ence of oxygen.
Keep ALL apparatus clean and free of grease, oil and
other flammable substances.
