SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN WELDING SHOP
1. Shop staff approval is required before using any welding equipment
2. Welders, assistants, and anyone else in the welding area must wear proper glasses or shields of
recommended shades during welding operations. Proper face shielding prevents burns to the
retina of the eyes that may cause blindness.
3. Welders are prohibited to wear any contact lens. Lens can be fused to the cornea of the eyes,
which may also cause blindness.
4. Avoid handling oxygen bottles with greasy hands, gloves, or rags. Fatal explosions have resulted
from this
5. When arc welding, make sure the work and/or worktable is properly grounded.
6. Be alert to all possible fire hazards. Move the object to be welded to a safe location or remove all
flammable materials from the work area.
7. Keep suitable fire extinguishing equipment nearby and know how to operate it.
8. Utilize all protective equipment and clothing. Do not weld with any part of the body uncovered
9. Never weld inside drums or enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation
