ARC WELDING
1. When performing arc welding and
cutting operations, a portable fire extinguisher should be
immediately available.
2. Always wear proper eye and face
protection. Gas welding goggles are not adequate against arc welding
rays.
3. Know proper procedures before
operating an arc welder.
4. Inspect cables and electrode holders
for exposed conductors or cracked insulation, repair as
needed.
5. Report faulty or defective equipment
to your supervisor.
6. Make sure your grounding is
adequate.
7. Never wrap leads around parts of
your body.
8. Use a proper safety harness or belt
when working in elevated locations that are six feet or more above
the ground or work platform.
9. Before making adjustments to any
part of the electric welding equipment, be sure the current is
off.
10. Do not look at welding operations
without adequate eye protection. Prolonged looking at arc welding
flash will cause serious burns to eyes.
11. Oxygen and electrical cable or
conduit must not come in contact with each
other. |
