Arc welding safety is something that welders should not ignore. Many things can go wrong that could have serious consequences, such as severe injury or even death. Welding arc comes in several forms - metal-arc, resistance weld, and gas shielded. All types of potentially result in injury or death if proper safety procedures are not followed. There are some general safety tips that you should always follow when you will do each job the welding arc. Before you start work, make sure that you perform a complete inspection of all equipment you plan to use. Check for things such as frayed wires or water on the equipment. Make sure that you read all instruction manuals and warning labels regarding your equipment. You should also always have a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency. Ensure that all welding machines are equipped with the power breaker switch so you can shut them off quickly and turn it off before you attempt to make repairs. Everything must be properly grounded. Each holder of an electrode that has a jaw defect, loose cable connection, or poor insulation should not be used. You also should not be attacked if there is an arc without eye protection is nearby.
You should be sure to pay attention to personal protective equipment you have. This is a very important part of arc weld safety. A properly fitted welding helmet with proper filter plate class is very important to protect your eyes from infrared radiation, which causes cataracts and retinal burn. You also need to protect your whole body. Treated wool or cotton clothing, fire proof apron, properly fitted clothes without frays, straight-leg pants that cover the top of the shoe, or closing fireproof cape shoulder for work performed on the head, gloves and long sleeve shirts are all important. This will protect you from arc flash and weld splatter. Be sure to keep your clothes free from oils and fats.
Another important part of arc weld safety is well ventilated. Welding must be conducted in areas with at least 10,000 cubic feet of ceiling height of 16 feet, and it is for every welder. This system should be placed where you can get a natural draft or fan blowing the smoke away from your face, or at least on it, but never directly into it. Cross ventilation should not be blocked by equipment or other things and if possible, weld should not be done in a limited area.
Arc welding safety is also about preventing electrical shock. Shocks can be fatal. To avoid shock, make sure that the welding cables away from power lines, dry, and free from oils and fats. Electrode holder and cable should be well insulated. Wear clothing and gloves dry dry with no holes. Welder must be isolated from ground by insulating dry like dry wood or rubber mats; welded frame unit should be based as well. Also remember that you do not have to change the electrode with wet gloves or bare hands.
