To prevent the cut piece to fall on your foot during cutting process, do not put your foot under the
cut piece and wear suitable work shoes.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE OTHER PERSONS IN THE WORK AREA:

The cleanliness and order of the work area are very important for you and the other people in the
area both. Other cutting operators or people walking around may step into your cutting bath
accidentally or trip on the cables and fall inviting the risk of an electrical shock to you and the other
people around. Furthermore, the plasma cutting splashes may cause risk of burns to the other
people in the vicinity.

Segregating the cutting site with a fire-proof barrier could reduce the above risks.

Warn other people in the work area about using work safety equipment. In particular if they have to
work in a cutting site, warn them about wearing fire-resistant work outfits, work goggles, insulated
shoes and gloves etc. remove the people, who do not heed your warnings, from the work site.

If you are cutting on a high place, use warning signs showing the risk of cutting splashes falling
down on the people below.

Electromagnetic fields may be dangerous for the pace-makers.

Warn the people in the vicinity, regardless of operators or otherwise, regarding the above and post
warning signs. Tell such people that they should consult a doctor before entering the cutting area.

The cutting sites pose high risk of electrical shocks. Other people may face the risk of an electrical
shock by passing on a cable while working around. Do not use un-insulated cutting cables and
pass the cables through insulated, plastic ducts where possible.
