Safety tips for Welding and Oxy-fuel
Any type of welding, arc welding or oxy-fuel carries with it the potential for serious accidents. While welding, do follow certain tips:
- Before welding, make sure that your welding area is well ventilated
and free of flammable gases, vapors or liquids. Always wear welding gloves while welding. Clothing should be flame resistant. - Collars, cuffs and pockets should be buttoned to prevent them from catching sparks.
- Always wear high top leather shoes while welding.
- Do wear a welding helmet which has an appropriate filter shade while welding.
- Arc welding produces intense visible and invisible rays that can burn eyes and skin.
Arc Welding
- While welding, always stand on a dry rubber mat or similar non-flammable material.
- Always double check the installation and verify proper grounding.
- Never use chains, wire ropes, hoists, cranes and elevators as grounding connectors.
- Examine hoses regularly for leaks, wear and loose connections.
Oxy-Fuel Welding
- Gas cylinders require special care in oxy-fuel welding. Do check that a cap covers the valve when the cylinders are not secured. If cap is not present and the cylinder falls, the valve could break and propel the cylinder, causing injury to you or other workers.
- Store oxygen tanks at least 20 feet away from fuel cylinders or behind a properly designed firewall to minimize the risk of an explosion or fire.
