August 30th, 2010

Aluminum can be welded either with a wire feed welder or stick welding. To avoid injury, use these safety measures:

• Wear a protective welding hood while welding aluminum.

• It is important that you wear safety equipments like thick leather welding gloves, long jeans and boots and welding jacket to protect yourself against sparks and heat caused by welding.

• After welding work is over for the day, clean the work area as it can reduce the risk of fire caused by sparks.

• Always route the welding leads from welder to steel so that nobody can trip on them.

• Before a technician starts the aluminum welding process, ensure that all the cords and welding leads are free from defects.

• After welding work is over, turn off the welder.

• Clean up all the tools and materials used in this project so they don’t become a hazard.
