Study Notes
Welding Safety
- Welding safety is crucial for any arc welding project.
- Proper precautions prevent potential hazards like electric shock, fumes and gases, fire, explosions, etc.
Electric Shock
- Electric shock can occur due to open and improperly insulated cables.
- Workers should regularly check electrical wiring connections.
- Check the primary wiring connection.
- Inspect welding cables for cracks or cuts in the insulation.
- Never wrap welding cables around your body.
Arc Rays
- Arc rays can harm eyes and skin.
- Wear proper protective clothing and filter lenses.
- Ultraviolet light can cause first or second-degree burns to the eyes and skin
- Infrared light is felt as heat.
- Visible light produces various quantities and colors.
Fumes and Gases
- Use proper ventilation and position yourself away from fumes.
- Ventilation requirements increase with electrode diameter.
- Welding powder dust and fumes are a hazard; filter them.
Fire and Explosion
- Faulty welding operations may lead to fires and explosions.
- Understand the welding environment and don't assume anything.
Compressed Gas
- Handle compressed gas carefully to avoid damage to yourself or equipment.
Face and Eye Protection
- Wear safety goggles and a full-face mask at all times in the workplace.
- Required safety gear includes eye protection, full sleeves, fire-resistant gauntlets and gloves.
- Wear appropriate clothing like fire-resistant shirts, no pockets, and no cuffs.
