Oxy-Fuel Welding: Safety Procedure


October 26th, 2009

Welding of any type is a high risk job. Gas welding in particular requires more safety precautions. Here are some safety procedures that need to be taken care of while performing gas welding.

  • Always sport a helmet that covers your face thoroughly. Your face and eyes are
    the most important part of your body. They are most sensitive.
  • Always store oxygen and acetylene separately.
  • Make sure the equipment is chained tightly.
  • Check if the place you are about to work has a fire extinguisher in place.
  • Cylinders should be moved around and stored with their caps tightly on.
  • If you are using a cylinder, be attentive and remember to close the cylinder
    after use.
  • Apron, leather gloves and other protective gears should be worn at all times when performing gas welding.
  • Workplace should be always from dense human activity.
  • The place should be well ventilated.
  • Be alert and look for odors of fuel gases.
