    ARC WELDING SAFETY
    Safe and accident free completion of any welding operation should be the goal of all welders. Here are a few welding safety tips that
    will help y ou achiev e that goal.
    Wearing proper ey e protection is v erv important. Welders and their helpers should be sure to use the correct filter lens in their
    goggles or helmets to protect their ey es from infrared and ultrav iolet light. (See 1 926.1 02, Tables E-1 and E-2 for a guide to ey e and
    face protection and filter lens shade numbers.)
    Precautions for fire prev ention must be taken in areas where welding is being done, for ex ample, isolating the welding and cutting
    area and remov ing fire hazards from the v icinity . If normal fire prev ention precautions are not sufficient, a qualified person should
    be assigned to guard against fire during the operation and for a suitable time after completion of the work, to ensure that no
    possibility of fire ex ists. Be sure that fire ex tinguishing equipment is av ailable and ready for immediate use. In areas where heav y
    dust concentrations ex ist, or where flammable paints or other flammable materials are present, welding, cutting or heating can
    create a significant fire hazard. Proceed with ex treme caution!
    A noncombustible or flameproof screen should isolate the welding or cutting area to protect other workers in the v icinity from
    direct arc ray s. Watch y our slag; it could cause a serious injury to someone working below. I
    If the electrode holder is left unattended, the electrodes must be remov ed, and the holder must be placed so that electrical contact
    cannot be made with another employ ee or any conducting object.
    All arc welding and cutting cables must be completely insulated and capable of handling the max imum current requirements for the
    job. The insulation on any splice within 1 0 feet of the electrode holder must be equal to the insulation of the cable.
    Rev iew 1 926.351 through 1 926.354 for additional information

    All welding and cutting operations in a confined space shall be ventilated to prevent the accumulation of I toxic
    materials or possible oxygen deficiency.
