EXTRA SAFETY MEASURES:
Semi-automatic DC constant voltage welders,
DC manual arc welders,
AC welders with reduced voltage control.
PRECAUTIONS FOR OTHERS IN THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT:
In some situations applying safety measures may be difficult, but even so follow the
mentioned rules. Keep your gloves dry, if getting wet is unavoidable then have an extra
pair of gloves near you. Stand on a plywood, plastic mat or similar dry and insulating
material. Insulate your body from welding piece.
If welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions such as in damp
locations or while wearing wet clothing, on metal structures such as floors, gratings or
scaffolds, when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high
risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground, prefer to use the
following equipment:
Conditions of electrode holder and cables are too important. Plastic or fiber insulating
material on holder prevents contact to electrically hot" places. Before starting the
"
welder, always check the condition of the holder. Replace the old and worn ones,
never attempt to repair. Perform same checks for the cables, since the cost will be
high to replace cables, repair by using tubw with high insulation or similar. Always
check the insulations before every time you start the welder.
If you feel an electric shock, always remember that this is a warning. In such case
before continue to work, check your machine, working routines and working
environment against electric shock. If there is an abnormal situation, never continue
welding without using the necessary precaution. If you cannot determine the source of
problem, have an expert and authorized person to check it.
Cleanliness and tidiness of working environment is extremely important for your safety as
well as other people in the environment. While other welders working or people walking
around the welding area may step onto your weld puddle by mistake or may cause you
and others to fall down by tripping over cables and electric shock risk. Also welding
sparks may cause burn danger by splashing on other people around.
Surrounding welding area with fire resistant screens reduces potential risks.
Also warn other people in the working environment for the use of work safety equipments.
Especially when they have to be in welding area, warn them to use fire and flame resistant
work safety clothing, welding goggles, welding mask, insulated work shoes and gloves.
