c. Air removed from the work area by the ventilation system must be
replenished with fresh air to avoid oxygen starvation or a build-up
of fumes or gases. Only use air to provide ventilation. Any other
combination of gases may be explosive or toxic to people in the
work area.
d. Ventilation methods that remove gas and fumes from the welding
point before they reach the welder's face should be given preference.
4. Avoid welding in a work area that has vapours from cleaning, degreasing or any
spraying operations. The heat and light from welding can react with the vapour
and form irritating or potentially toxic gases. Wait for the vapours to disperse.
5. Consult the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for instructions and
precautions about metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners and degreasers.
a. Do not weld on coated metals such as galvanized, lead or cadmium
plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area. The
coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic
fumes during the welding process.
b. Do not weld, cut or heat lead, zinc, cadmium, mercury, beryllium or
similar metals without seeking professional advice and inspection of
the welding area's ventilation. These metals produce extreme toxic
fumes, which can cause discomfort, illness and death.
6. Check the Safety Data Sheet for the proper handling and safety precautions
for consumable welding rods as the coating can have multiple chemicals.
COMPRESSED FUEL CYLINDER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Improper handling or maintenance of compressed fuel cylinders
and regulators can result in serious injury or death. Do not use a cylinder or
its contents for anything other than its intended use.
1. Do not attempt to mix gases or refill a fuel cylinder. Exchange a cylinder or
have it refilled by a professional service.
2. Do not deface or alter the name, number or other markings on a cylinder. Do
not rely on a cylinder's colour to identify the contents. Do not connect a
regulator to a cylinder that contains a gas that the regulator was not designed
to handle.
