Work Area Safety
1.
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control. Protect others in the work area from
intense heat. Do not allow others close enough to
look at the flame as eye damage is a real possibility.
Provide barriers or shields as needed.
3.
When possible, move the work to a location well
away from combustible materials.
If relocation
is NOT possible, protect the combustibles with a
cover made of fire resistant material. Remove or
make safe all combustible materials for a radius
of 35 feet (10 meters) around the work area.
4.
Enclose the work area with portable fire
resistant screens.
Use a fire resistant
material to block all openings and protect
combustible walls, ceilings, floors, etc.
5.
If working near/on a metal wall, ceiling, floor, etc.,
prevent ignition of combustibles on the other side
by moving the combustibles to a safe location.
If relocation of combustibles is NOT possible,
designate someone to act as a fire watch equipped
with a fire extinguisher during the welding or
cutting process and for at least one half hour after
the welding or cutting project is completed.
6.
Do not place the Regulator on any material other
than bare concrete until it has cooled completely.
7.
Do not weld or cut any material that has a
combustible coating or a combustible internal
structure, such as drums or tanks, without an
approved method for eliminating the hazard.
8.
Do not dispose of hot slag in containers
holding combustible materials.
9.
Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher close
by and know the proper way to use it.
10.
After welding or cutting make a thorough
check for evidence of fire and be aware the
easily visible flame or smoke may not be
present for some time after a fire has started.
