Precaution for protective equipment
For protection from arc ray generated from welding, spattering dross and hearing disorder from noise, observe the
following:
• To reduce the dust concentration, install a partial exhaust facility such as fume suction
device, or install the collective ventilation equipment.
• When it is difficult to provide a partial exhaust facility or the ventilation or exhaust
facility does not give sufficient performance, ensure to use the respiratory protective
equipment.
• In performing welding or cutting the coating steel plate or galvanized steel sheet,
provide a partial exhaust facility or let the welding operator as well as the surrounding
operators use respiratory protective equipment. (Welding or cutting the coating steel
plate or galvanized steel sheet will cause toxic gas or fume.)
• Do not perform welding operation in the vicinity of degreasing, cleansing, or spraying
operation. Performing the welding operation in such places may generate poisonous
gas.
• When welding or watching a welder work, wear face shield with a proper shade of filter
(See ANSI Z 49.1 listed in PRINCIPAL SAFETY STANDARDS) to protect the face and
eyes.
• Wear safety goggles in the work area and the surrounding.
Ignoring the above may cause injury in the eye or burn from spatter and spattering
dross.
• Wear protective equipment such as protective leather gloves, long-sleeve clothes, leg
covers, and leather apron.
Ignoring the above may cause electrical shock and burn.
• Install protective screens or barriers to protect the eyes of others in the work area from
arc ray.
• Wear an ear protector when noise level is high.
Ignoring the above may cause hearing disorder.
