Limit Values using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances,
outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on
galvanized steel.
●
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or
spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a
highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
●
Shielded gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough
ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
●
Read and understand the manufacturer
’s instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be
used, including the material safety data sheet and follow your employer
’s safety practices.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN
●
Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the
arc when welding or observing open arc welding.
●
Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your
helpers from the arc rays.
●
Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch
the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
SELF-PROTECTION
●
Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair,
clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or
repairing equipment.
●
Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing
on the throttle control rods while the engine is running.
DO NOT
adds the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop the engine
and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine
parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine
until fumes have been eliminated.
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.
●
Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding
sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot material from welding can easily go
through small cracks and openings to 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 used to
prevent hazardous situation.
●
When no 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 insure
that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause
an explosion even though they have been
“cleaned”.
