UNDERSTAND
Safe Welding Practices
Like other jobs or careers, welders must wear suitable protective equipment. In general, Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) must protect against hazards such as burn, sparks, spatter, electric shock,
and radiation. The use of PPE is a good safe practice and may be required by regulatory agencies.
Welding and cutting can produce hazards such as sparks, spatter, radiation (infrared, ultraviolet, and
blue light), slag, heat, hot metal, fumes and gases, and even electric shock. Since these hazards may
causes burn, injury, or death, it is always important to wear proper PPE .

NATURE OF HAZARDS
Arc Rays-can burn eyes and skin-Arc rays from SMAW welding process produces intense heat
visible and inviable (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly-off the.” Wear
an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter lenses to protect you face and eyes when
welding or watching.” Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.” Use
protective screens or barrier to protect other from flash, glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the
arc.” Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material (leather, heavy cotton, or
wool) and foot protection. FLYING METAL can injure eyes. Welding, wire brushing and grinding can
cause sparks and flying metals.” Wear approved safety glasses with side shield even under your
welding helmet. HOT PARTS can cause severe burns. Do not touch hot parts bare handed.” Allow
cooling period before working on.” To handle hot parts, use proper tools and / or wear heavy, insulated
welding gloves and clothing to prevent burns.” NOISE can damage hearing. Noise from some processor
equipment can damage hearing.” Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high. “WELDING
ELECTRODE can cause injury, do not point stinger toward any part of the body of other people, or any
metal threading electrode.” CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.” Shielding gas cylinder contain gas
under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the
welding process, be sure to treat them carefully. “Protect compressed gas cylinder from excessive heat
mechanical shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs. Install cylinder in an uprigh t
position by securing to a stationary supporter cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping. Never drop the
welding stub over a gas cylinder. Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder. Never weld on
a pressurized cylinder, regulators, hoses, and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain th e
main associated parts in good condition. Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylin der
2 |P age
valve.” Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder rise use or connected for use.”
Use the right equipment, correct procedures, and enough persons to lift and move cylinder.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion. Welding on closed container, such as tanks, Drums, or
pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks can fly off from the welding arc. The flyin g sparks, Hot
workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal
objects can cause sparks explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before
doing any welding.” Remove all flammable within 35ft. (10.7m) of the welding arc. If this is not possible,
tightly cover them with approved covers. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
Protect your self and others from flying sparks and hot metal. Be alert that welding sparks and hot
materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.” Watch for
fire and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition
can cause fire on the hidden side. FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous. “Welding procedure fu mes
and gases. Breathing these Fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.” Keep your head out of
the fumes. Do not breath the fumes. If inside ventilated area, use local forced ventilation at the arc to
remove welding fumes and gases. If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.” Read
and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s instruction for metals,
consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated,
or while wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch -person nearby. Welding fumes
and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air
is safe. Do not weld in location near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operation. The heat and rays of
the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases. Do not weld on coated metals,
such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area,
the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coating and any metals
containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. Touching
live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is electrically
live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and Machine in ternal circuit are also live when
power is on. All metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or
improperly grounded equipment is a hazard.’” Do not touch live electric parts. Wear dry, hole-free
insulating gloves and body protection. “Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats
or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work or ground. Do not use AC output in
damp areas, if movement is confined, or if there is a danger of falling. Use AC output ONLY if required
for the welding process. If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on unit. Addition al
safety precaution are required when any of the following electrically hazardous condition are presen t in
damp locations or while wearing wet, clothing, on metal structure such as floors, gratings, or scaffolds,
when in cramped position such as sitting, kneeling, or lying, or when there is a high risk of un avoidable
or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these conditions, use the following equipment in
order presented: 1. A semi-automatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder 2. A DC manual (stick) welder
3. An AC welder with reduced open-circuit voltage. In most situation, use of a DC, constant voltage wire
welder is recommended. And do not work alone. Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing
or servicing this equipment. Properly install and ground the welding machine unit according to its
owner’s manual. Always verify the supply ground check and be sure that input power cord grou n d wire
is properly connected to ground terminal in disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly
grounded receptacle outlet. When making input connection, attach proper grounding conductor first-
double-check connections. Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring, replace cord
immediately, bare wiring can kill. SAQ-1: What is the nature of hazards in welding?

ANSWER KEY
Let’s Practice

Answer:
Protective wear shields the welder from heat, spark and UV radiation. Heavy, flames-resistant glove,
such as leather, should always be worn to protect hands from burns, cuts and scratch es. As long as
they are dry and in good condition, they offer some insulation against electric shock.
