2.02 HOUSEKEEPING
WARNING
NEVER allow oxygen to contact grease, oil, or other flam-
mable substances. Although oxygen by itself will not burn,
these substances become highly explosive. They can ignite
and burn violently in the presence of oxygen.
Keep ALL apparatus clean and free of grease, oil and other
flammable substances.
2.03 VENTILATION
WARNING
Ade quately ventilate welding, heating, and cutting work
areas to prevent accumulation of explosive or toxic concen-
trations of gases. Certain combinations of metals, coatings,
and gases generate toxic fumes. Use respiratory protection
equipment in these circumstances. When welding/brazing,
read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet for the
welding/brazing alloy.
2.04 PERSONAL PROTECTION
Gas flames produce infrared radiation which may have a harm ful
effect on the skin and especially on the eyes. Select goggles or a
mask with tempered lenses, shaded 4 or darker, to protect your
eyes from injury and provide good visibility of the work.
Always wear protective gloves and flame-resistant clothing to protect
skin and clothing from sparks and slag. Keep collars, sleeves, and
pockets buttoned. DO NOT roll up sleeves or cuff pants.
When working in a non-welding or cutting environment, always
wear suitable eye protection or face shield.
