Protective clothing refers to a variety of different items. Operators should:
-
Protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective visor
and regulation filter
-
Wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the protect-
ive visor
-
Wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions
-
Protect the hands with suitable gloves (electrically insulated and providing
protection against heat)
-
Wear ear protection to reduce the harmful effects of noise and to prevent in-
jury
Keep all persons, especially children, out of the working area while any devices
are in operation or welding is in progress. If, however, there are people in the vi-
cinity:
-
make them aware of all the dangers (dazzling by arc, injury from flying
sparks, inhalation of harmful welding fumes, noise, possible danger from
mains or welding current, possible danger from electromagnetic fields, pos-
sible danger from the magnetic field around the cleaning opening, mechanic-
ally-powered parts, compressed air/parting agent mixture ejected from the
cleaning opening, flying shavings and similar matter, etc.),
-
Provide suitable protective equipment
-
Alternatively, erect suitable safety screens/curtains.
Risks from mains
current and op-
erating current
An electric shock is potentially life threatening and can be fatal.
Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately di-
mensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimensioned
cables and leads must be replaced immediately.
Do not sling cables or leads around the body or parts of the body.
Only switch on the device when all output connections have been established
correctly.
The device must only be operated on a mains supply with a ground conductor
and a socket with a ground conductor contact.
If the device is operated on a mains supply without a ground conductor, this will
be deemed as gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any
damage arising from such usage.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to
ensure the ground conductor is functioning properly.
Switch off unused devices.
Disconnect the mains plug before working on the device.
Attach a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to the device to
prevent anyone from plugging the mains plug back in and switching it on again.
After opening the device:
-
Discharge all live components
-
Ensure that all components in the device are de-energised.
If work on live parts is required, appoint a second person to switch off the main
switch at the right moment.
