proved method for eliminating the
hazard.
•
Do not dispose of hot slag in con-
tainers holding combustible materi-
als. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby
and know how to use it.
•
After spot welding, make a thorough
examination for evidence of fire. Be
aware that easily-visible smoke or
flame may not be present for some
time after the fire has started. Do
not weld or cut in atmospheres
containing dangerously reactive or
flammable gases, vapors, liquids,
and dust. Provide adequate ven-
tilation in work areas to prevent
accumulation of flammable gases,
vapors, and dust. Do not apply
heat to a container that has held an
unknown substance or a combus-
tible material whose contents, when
heated, can produce flammable or
explosive vapors. Clean and purge
containers before applying heat.
Vent closed containers, including
castings, before preheating, weld-
ing, or cutting.
16.
Do not touch live electrical parts.
Wear dry, insulating gloves. Do not
touch electrode or conductor tong
with bare hand. Do not wear wet or
damaged gloves.
17.
Protect yourself from electric shock.
Do not use outdoors. Insulate your-
self from the work piece and ground.
Use nonflammable, dry insulating
material if possible, or use dry rubber
mats, dry wood or plywood, or other
dry insulating material big enough to
cover your full area of contact with
the work or ground.

an air sampling to determine the
need for corrective measures. Use
mechanical ventilation to improve
air quality. If engineering controls
