WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

Remove all flammables within 10m of the welding arc. If this is not 

possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.

Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.

Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.

Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can 
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Be aware that 
welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can cause fire on 

the hidden side.

Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes, 
unless they are properly prepared according to local regulations

Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as 
practical to prevent welding current from travelling along, possibly 

unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire hazards.

Cut off welding wire at contact tip when not in use.

Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy 

shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap. Remove any 

combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches, from your person 
before doing any welding.

FLYING METAL can injure eyes.

Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding cause sparks and 

flying metal. As welds cool they can throw off slag. Wear approved 

safety glasses with side shields even under your welding helmet.

BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.

Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use. Always ventilate 

confined spaces or use approved air-supplied respirator.

HOT PARTS can cause severe burns.

Do not touch hot parts with bare handed.

Allow cooling period before working on gun or torch.

To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or wear heavy, insulated 
welding gloves and clothing to prevent burns.

MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect pacemakers.

Pacemaker wearers keep away.

Wearers should consult their doctor before going near arc welding, 
gouging, or spot welding operations.

NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.

Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure.

CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.

Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical 

shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs. 

Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary 
support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping. Keep cylinders 
away from any welding or other electrical circuits. Never drape a 
welding torch over a gas cylinder. Never allow a welding electrode to 
touch any cylinder. Never weld on a pressurized cylinder - explosion 
will result. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, 

hoses, and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain 

them and associated parts in good condition.

Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve.

Use the right equipment, correct procedures, and sufficient number 

of persons to lift and move cylinders.

Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders, 
associated equipment, and Compressed Gas Association (CGA)
