1. work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b. do not operate welders in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Welders create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a welder.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2. electrical safety
a. avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
b. do not expose welders to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
welder will increase the risk of electric
shock.
