    Elimination or substitution, engineering controls, ventilation, and personal protective equipment are preventive measures for welding hazards. Assessments consider welding position, location, and duration of exposure. Acetylene cylinders are maroon, store acetylene dissolved in acetone at 250 Psi, and hold 8.5 m3. Oxygen cylinders are black, store oxygen at 2200psi and hold 6.9m3. Cylinders must be stored in a well-ventilated room away from flames and combustibles, protected from sunlight, and with oxygen separated from fuel gases.

    PREVENTIVE MEASURES

    Elimination or substitution
    Modification of the process or engineering
    Local exhaust ventilation
    Personal protective equipments

    FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN ASSESSMENTS


    o Welding position
    o Welding location
    o Duration exposure

    GAS CUTTING

    ACETYLENE CYLINDERS
    Maroon in color
    Acetylene gas (C2H2) Is dissolved in acetone (liquid) and stored at 250
    Psi in as specially designed cylinder
    Acetylene cylinder has a volume at 8.5 m3
    OXYGEN CYLINDERS
    o Oxygen is a colors less tasteless and odor less gas and is slightly heavier
    than air
    o Oxygen cylinders black in colour
    o Oxygen stored at 2200psi
    o Oxygen cylinders has a volume of 6.9m3
    CYLINDER STORAGE

    Well ventilated room


    No open flame in the store
    10m distance from oxygen and acetylene cylinder
    No materials that are prone spontaneous combustion
    Should not be stored in direct sun light
    Cylinders containing oxygen shall be stored separate from cylinders fuel
    gages
    Minimum 10 feet distance shall be maintained between the storage areas
