• Wear insulating gloves on both hands for welding. These offer protection
from electric shocks (idling voltage in the welding circuit), harmful
radiation (Heat and UV radiation) and from glowing metal and slag spatter.
• Wear firm, insulated footwear. Your shoes should also protect you in wet
conditions. Open toed footwear is not suitable since falling droplets of
glowing metal will cause burns.
• Wear suitable clothing, do not wear synthetic clothes.
• Do not look into the arc with unprotected eyes, use only a face shield with
the proper safety glass in compliance with DIN standards. In addition to
light and heat, which may cause dazzling and burns, the arc also gives off
UV radiation. Without proper protection, this invisible ultraviolet radiation
causes very painful conjunctivitis, which will only be noticeable several
hours later. In addition, UV radiation will cause
sunburn-type symptoms on unprotected parts of the body.
• Personnel or assistants in the vicinity of the arc must also be notified of
the dangers and provided with the required protection; if necessary install
safety walls.
• Ensure adequate ventilation for welding, particularly in small rooms since
the process causes smoke and harmful gases.
• Do not carry out any welding work on tanks that have been used to
store gases, fuels, mineral oil or the like, even if they have been empty
for a lengthy period of time, since any residue will result in a danger
of explosion.
• Special regulations apply in areas where there is a potential risk of fire
and/or explosion.
• Welds that are exposed to large stresses and must comply with safety
requirements may only be completed by specially trained and approved
welders. Examples of such welds include pressure vessels, rails, trailer
hitches, etc.
