2. A combustible floor should be protected with a fire
resistant covering.
3. Seal cracks and openings to adjacent areas that a spark or
slag can enter. Seal any openings found with a fire-resistant
cover. Shut doors and windows that do not provide
ventilation or erect protective screens in front of them
when possible.
4. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines or containers containing
flammable contents.
5. Do not perform any welding work on containers that held
flammable or toxic substance until they are cleaned by a
person trained in removing toxic and flammable substances
and vapours per the American Welding Standard AWS F4.1.
6. Open a container before performing any welding work on
it. The heat generated by the welding process will cause
the air and gases to expand. The internal pressure may
cause a sealed or closed container to rupture, possibly
causing an injury or death.
7. Do not weld pipes or metal that are covered in combustible
material or in contact with combustible structure such as a
wall. Only weld if the covering can be safely removed.
7.1 Follow all safety precautions and legal requirements
before welding a workpiece that contains asbestos or
attempting to remove the asbestos covering. This
requires expert knowledge and equipment.
7.2 Molten slag can run down the inside and outside of a
pipe and start a fire. Be aware where the pipe
terminates and take precautions.
8. Do not weld a panel that is a sandwich construction of
combustible and metal materials.
9. Have a fire extinguisher available for immediate use. A dry
chemical fire extinguisher for Types A, B and C is suggested.
