Safety in Welding and Cutting

”.

ELECTRIC SHOCK from welding electrode or wiring can kill.

HIGH FREQUENCY RADIO WAVE can cause interference and

sometimes even damage to nearby electronic equipment (such

as computers) that are un-protected.

MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect implanted medical devices.

Wearers of pacemakers should keep away until consulting their

doctor.

Welding can cause FIRE OR EXPLOSIONS. Do not weld near

FLAMMABLE or EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS. Have proper type

of extinguisher in work area.

WEAR NON-FLAMMABLE protective clothing, footwear and

head gear at all times.

HOT PARTS can cause severe burns. Do not touch recently

welded components. Avoid touching torch components and

welding fixtures soon after welding.

ARC RAYS can burn the eyes and skin. The welding arc emits

ultra-violet (UV) radiation and the molten weld gives off infra-

red. Both can burn eyes and skin if unprotected. Suitable eye

and skin protection must be worn.

BUILD UP OF GAS can injure or kill. Weld materials can emit

toxic fumes during welding. WELD ONLY IN AREAS WITH

ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be

hazardous to your health. DO NOT weld in enclosed areas

without proper ventilation or respirators.
