adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily
available.
• Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should
be taken to prevent a hazardous situation.
• When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work
or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
• Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been
taken to ensure that any flammable or toxic vapours have been eliminated from
within. They can cause an explosion even though they have been ‘cleaned’.
• Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may
ignite.
• Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective
garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff less trousers, protective shoes and
a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined
space. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
• Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Keep
work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the
welding area.
Rotating parts may be dangerous
• Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the
process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure
used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained
in good condition.
• Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or
fixed support.
• Cylinders should be located:
– Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage.
– A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of
heat, sparks, or flame.
• Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically ‘hot’ parts to
touch a cylinder.
• Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the
cylinder valve.
• Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the
cylinder is in use or connected for use.

—
Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
—
Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather
gloves, heavy shirt, cuff less trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when
welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.
—
Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected
to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the
welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create
fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
Rotating parts may be dangerous.

Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and
properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be
