Welding Safety

• Welding produces toxic fumes and can reduce oxygen levels in the work area. Always

work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling welding fumes, use a suitable respirator

where appropriate

• Some metal parts may have zinc, lead, cadmium or other coatings. Attempting to weld

through these coatings can produce highly toxic fumes. Always remove all coatings

before welding

• If you experience irritation to the lungs, throat or eyes whilst welding, STOP

IMMEDIATELY and seek fresh air

• Welding produces extremely high levels of UV light. To prevent eye damage, ALWAYS use

an approved welding face mask. Under no circumstances look directly at the arc

• The light produced when arc welding can be attractive to look at, especially to children.

Always prevent other people from viewing the arc welding light with unprotected eyes

• If there is a possibility of other people approaching the work area, erect suitable

screening to protect them from the light / glare

• Always replace the welder face mask glass as soon as it shows any signs of wear

or damage

• To prevent skin damage, ALWAYS wear a suitable fire-proof long sleeved jacket, heat

proof gloves, and cap. Keep covered up

• Always remove any flammable materials (e.g. cigarette lighter, matches) from your

clothing before welding

• Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby when welding

• Sparks generated while welding can ignite flammable materials easily in the welding

area, so it is important to remove flammable materials before commencing welding

• Only weld when the work area and all workpieces are dry

• Do not weld sealed containers (e.g. fuel tanks, air tanks, oil drums). The heat generated

from welding can cause sealed containers to burst without warning

• Be aware of transferred heat. Metal parts can conduct heat away from the work area

and cause ignition of flammable materials

• Be aware that welded parts will remain hot for some time after joining. Allow to cool

completely before handling, or leaving unattended

• Never weld where flammable gases, liquids or dust are present

• Ensure that there is always a responsible person nearby to alert you to any fire, or to

call help in an emergency

• Use of welding machines will create powerful magnetic fields. This may disturb the

operation of sensitive electronic equipment. Pacemaker wearers should consult a doctor

before using a welding machine

• Do not overload power supply. Check that your mains wiring is capable of delivering the

required current safely (see specification)

Wire feed

• Caution: The tip of welding wire can be very sharp, and is fed with adequate force to

puncture skin

• Keep the welding machine switched off until you are ready to begin welding. Never

point the torch towards people or animals
