NOISE -- Excessive noise can damage hearing
Protect your ears. Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes and gases can cause discomfort or harm,
particularly in conned spaces. Shielding gases can cause asphyxiation.
Therefore:
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes and gases.
2. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by natural or mechanical
means. Do not weld, cut or gouge on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless
steel, copper, zinc, lead beryllium or cadmium unless positive mechanical ventilation
is provided. Do not breathe fumes from these materials.
3. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying operations. The heat or arc can react
with chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas and other
irritant gases.
4. If you develop momentary eye, nose or throat irritation while operating, this is an
indication that ventilation is not adequate. Stop work and take necessary steps to
improve ventilation in the work area. Do not continue to operate if physical discom-
fort persists.
5.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat from ames and arcs can start res. Hot
slag or sparks can also cause res and explosions. Therefore:
1.
2. Remove all combustible materials well away from the work area or cover the materials
sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints and coatings paper, etc.
3.
openings are protected from hot sparks and metal.
4. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the work piece has been completely
-
mable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot work on closed containers, they may explode.
5. -
6. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example, an overloaded welding cable
7. After completing operations, inspect the work area to make certain there are no hot
