Prevent eye injury and burns. Wearing and using ANSI approved
personal safety clothing and safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
• Wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles with a welding helmet with
protective lens.
• Leather leggings, fire resistant shoes or boots should be worn when using this
product. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any clothing
that can catch and hold molten metal or sparks.
• Keep clothing free of grease, oil, solvents, or any flammable substances. Wear
dry, insulating gloves and protective clothing.
• Wear an approved head covering to protect the head and neck. Use aprons,
cape, sleeves, shoulder covers, and bibs designed and approved for welding
and cutting procedures.
• When welding/cutting overhead or in confined spaces, wear flame resistant ear
plugs or ear muffs to keep sparks out of ears.
10.
Prevent accidental fires. Remove any combustible material from the
work area.
• When possible, move the work to a location well away from combustible materi-
als. If relocation is not possible, protect the combustibles with a cover made of
fire resistant material.
• Remove or make safe all combustible materials for a radius of 35 feet (10
meters) around the work area. Use a fire resistant material to cover or block all
open doorways, windows, cracks, and other openings.
• Enclose the work area with portable fire resistant screens. Protect combustible
walls, ceilings, floors, etc., from sparks and heat with fire resistant covers.
• If working on a metal wall, ceiling, etc., prevent ignition of combustibles on the
other side by moving the combustibles to a safe location. If relocation of com-
bustibles is not possible, designate someone to serve as a fire watch, equipped
with a fire extinguisher, during the cutting process and for at least one half hour
after the cutting is completed.
• Do not weld or cut on materials having a combustible coating or combustible
internal structure, as in walls or ceilings, without an approved method for elimi-
nating the hazard.
• Do not dispose of hot slag in containers holding combustible materials. Keep a
fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.
