PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment should be used by all operators of oxy-fuel gas equipment to ensure their protection of body and
clothing from:
a) The heat from the work
b) Burns which may result from contact with hot components or small globules of hot metal
c) Radiation which may burn the skin or eyes
This protection is achieved by the use of flame resistant clothing, gloves and footwear that is suitable to prevent the entry of
hot particles or objects. Aprons, sleeves, shoulder covers, leggings or spats of pliable flame resistant leather and other suitable
materials may also be required where the areas of the body will encounter hot metal. Protection of the eyes from radiation is
also very important. The recommended minimum shade numbers are listed below, however if any discomfort is felt, darker
filters may be used.
