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.

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.
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.
6.
Do not wear any personal grooming products that are flammable, such as hair preparations,
perfume or cologne with an alcohol base.
