and forbidden .
●Irritation of the eyes, nose and throat are symptoms of inadequate ventilation. Take
immediate steps to improve ventilation. Do not continue welding if symptoms persist.
●Install a natural or forced air ventilation system in the work area.
●Install an adequate ventilation system in the welding and cutting area, if needed install a
system that can remove the fume and vapor accumulated in the entire work area, to prevent
pollution use adequate filtration in discharge.
