V1.0
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
1.
Wear a leather apron or jacket, leather welding gloves and full foot
protection. Choose clothing fabrics that resist sparks, heat, flames and
splashes of molten material. Artificial fabrics may burn and melt,
resulting in a more severe injury.
1.1 Wear welding capes and sleeves when performing overhead
welding.
2.
Do not wear clothes or protective gear that are frayed, oily or
greasy as they may ignite from the heat or ejected slag and sparks.
3.
Wear thick clothes that do not expose the skin. Ultraviolet or
infrared light can burn skin with sufficient exposure.
4.
Do not wear clothing that can hold hot debris or sparks such as pant
cuffs, shirt pockets or boots. Choose clothing that has flaps over
pockets or wear clothing to cover the openings such as pant legs over
the boots or an apron over the shirt.
5.
Gloves shall should contain an insulating lining to protect against
an electric shock.
6.
Rubber soled footwear or electrically insulated work boots are
recommended while working with a welding unit. The non- skid sole
is will also help maintain footing and balance during work.
6.1 Select boots with steel toe protection to prevent injury from
falling objects.
RESPIRATORS
1.
Respiratory protection is needed when ventilation is not sufficient to
remove welding fumes or when there is risk of oxygen deficiency.
1.1 Wear a NIOSH approved respirator when working on materials
that produce dust or particulate matter.
2.
Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Welding fumes and gases can
displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be
sure the breathing air is safe (See Fumes and Gases).
3.
The user can take the additional precaution of informing another
person in the work area of the potential danger, so that person can
watch for indications that the user is suffering from oxygen
deprivation.
