PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
1. Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame resistant materials, leather welding gloves and full foot
protection.
2. Wear a leather apron or jacket, leather welding gloves and fire-resistant footwear when welding. Wear thick clothes
that does not expose the skin. Ultraviolet or infrared light can burn skin with sufficient exposure.
3. Choose clothing fabrics that resist sparks, heat and flames. Artificial fabrics may burn and melt, resulting in a more
severe injury.
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. Remove all jewelry before proceeding to weld
6. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare; warn others in the area to look away from
the arc.
RESPIRATORS
1. Respiratory protection is needed when ventilation is not sufficient to remove welding fumes or when there is risk of
oxygen deficiency.
a. 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.
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.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid personal injury or damage to the tool.
1. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
2. Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become entangled with the moving parts of a tool. Keep long hair covered
or bound.
3. Remove all jewelry or metal items from your person before welding. Metal items may connect to the welding unit's
electrical circuit, causing an injury or death.
4. Do not overreach when operating the tool. Proper footing and balance enables better control in
unexpected situations.
5. Support the workpiece or clamp it to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body may
lead to personal injury. General Safety Precautions
6. Do not wear any personal grooming products that are flammable, such as hair preparations or cologne with an
alcohol base.
7. Remove any combustibles, such as butane lighters or matches, from your person before doing any welding.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Arc welding requires the use a hand shield or helmets with full face protection per CSA standard Z94.3.1.
2. Protect against reflected arc rays. The rays can reflect off a shiny surfaces behind the user, into the helmet and off
the filter lens into the eyes. Remove or cover any reflective surface behind the user such as a glossy painted surface,
aluminum, stainless steel or glass.
3. Welding produces sparks and molten slag. A cooling bead can eject chips or fragments of slag. Any of these can
cause direct harm to the eyes or skin of the user or bystanders.
4. Erect protective screens or barriers to protect bystanders from the flash and glare; warn others In the area not to
watch the arc. Do not strike a welding arc until all bystanders and you (the user) have welding shields and/or
helmets in place.
5. Immediately replace a cracked or broken helmet or a scratched or damaged lens filter to avoid damage to the eyes or
face from arc flash or ejected molten material.
6. Do not allow the uninsulated portion of the wire feed torch to touch the ground clamp or grounded work. An arc
flash will result from contact and can injury the unprepared user and bystanders.
