3.5 The operation of plasma cutting or gouging fume control equipment is affected
by various factors including proper use and positioning of the equipment,
maintenance of the equipment, and the specific procedure and application
involved. Worker exposure levels should be checked upon installation and
periodically thereafter to be certain levels are within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits. For information on how to test for fumes and gases in your work
place, refer to publications section of this manual.
3.6 Do not use plasma cutting or gouging equipment in locations near chlorinated
hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The
heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly
toxic gas, and other irritating products. Remove all sources of these vapors.
3.7 Gases used for plasma cutting and gouging can displace air and cause injury or
death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure
breathing air is safe.
3.8 Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this equipment and
follow your employer’s safety practices.
3.9 This product, when used for cutting, produces fumes or gases which contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects
3.10 Some dust created by routing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Avoid prolonged contact with this dust. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into
your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
3.11 Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
4. Cutting flame and sparks can cause FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
4.1 Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag, sparks, oxygen fueled cutting flame,
or the plasma arc.
4.2 Have a fire extinguisher readily available. Provide a fire watch when working in an
area where fire hazards may exist.
