Locate or secure cylinders so they cannot be knocked over. Passageways and work areas. Keep cylinders clear of areas where they may be struck. Transporting cylinders. With a crane, use a secure sup- port such as a platform or cradle. Do NOT lift cylinders off the ground by their valves or caps, or by chains, slings, or magnets.
1-3. ARC WELDING Comply with precautions in 1-1, 1-2, and this section. Arc Welding, properly done, is a safe process, but a careless operator invites trouble. The equipment carries high currents at significant voltages. The arc is very bright and hot. Sparks fly, fumes rise, ultraviolet and in- frared energy radiates, weldments are hot, and com- pressed gases may be used.
quate to carry ground currents safely. Equipment made electrically HOT by stray current may shock, possibly fatally. Do NOT GROUND to electrical conduit, or to a pipe carrying ANY gas or flammable liquid such as oil or fuel. Three-phase connection. Check phase requirements of equipment before installing.
