The
ultraviolet
(radiant)
energy
of
the
arc
can
also
decompose
trichloroethylene
and
per

where
solvent
vapors
can
be
drawn
into
the

C.
Fire
and
Explosion
Prevention
Causes
of
fire
and
explosion
are:
combustibles
reached
by
the
arc,
flame,
flying
sparks,
hot
slag
or
heated
material;
misuse
of
compressed
gases
and
cylinders;
and
short
circuits.
BE
AWARE
THAT
flying
sparks
or
falling
slag
can
pass
through
cracks,
along
pipes,
through
windows
or
doors,
and
through
wall
or
floor
openings,
out
of
sight
of
the
goggled
operator.
Sparks
and
slag
can
fly
35
feet.
To
prevent
fires
and
explosion:
Keep
equipment
clean
and
operable,
free
of
oil,
grease,
and
(in
electrical
parts)
of
metallic
particles
that
can
cause
short
circuits.
If
combustibles
are
in
area,
do
NOT
weld
or
cut.
Move
the
work
if
practicable,
to
an
area
free
of
combustibles.
Avoid
paint
spray
rooms,
dip
tanks,
storage
areas,
yen
tilators.
If
the
work
cannot
be
moved,
move
com
bustibles
at
least
35
feet
away
out
of
reach
of
sparks
and
heat;
or
protect
against
ignition
with
suitable
and
snug-fitting,
fire-resistant
covers
or
shields.
Walls
touching
combustibles
on
opposite
sides
should
not
be
welded
on
(or
cut).
Walls,
ceilings,
and
floor
near
work
should
be
protected
by
heat-resistant
covers
or
shields.
Fire
watcher
must
be
standing
by
with
suitable
fire
ex
tinguishing
equipment
during
and
for
some
time
after
welding
or
cutting
if:
a.
appreciable
combustibles
(including
building
construction)
are
within
35
feet
b.
appreciable
combustibles
are
further
than
35
feet
but
can
be
ignited
by
sparks
c.
openings
(concealed
or
visibe)
in
floors
or
walls
within
35
feet
may
expose
com
bustibles
to
sparks
d.
combustibles
adjacent
to
walls,
ceilings,
roofs,
or
metal
partitions
can
be
ignited
by
radiant
or
conducted
heat.
Hot
work
permit
should
be
obtained
before
operation
to
ensure
supervisors
approval
that
adequate
precautions
have
been
taken.
After
work
is
done,
check
that
area
is
free
of
sparks,
glowing
embers,
and
flames.
An
empty
container
that held
combustibles,
or
that
can
produce
flammable
or
toxic~vapors
when
heated,
must
never
be
welded
on
or
cut,
unless
container
has
first
been
cleaned
as
described
In
AWS
Standard
A6.O,
listed
7
in
Standards
index.
This
includes:
a
thorough
steam
or
caustic
cleaning
(or
a
solvent
or
water
washing,
depending
on
the
com
bustibles
solubility)
followed
by
purging
and
inerting
with
nitrogen
or
carbon
dioxide,
and
using
protective
equipment
as
recommended
in
A6.O.
Waterfilling
just
below
working
level
may
substitute
for
inerting.
A
container
with
unknown
contents
should
be
cleaned
(see
paragraph
above).
Do
NOT
depend
on
sense
of
smell
or
sight
to
determine
if
it
is
safe
to
weld
or
cut.
Hollow
castings
or
containers
must
be
vented
before
welding
or
cutting.
They
can
explode.

WELDING
-
Comply
with
precautions
in
1-1,
1
-2,
and
this
section.
Arc
Welding,
properly
done,
is
a
safe
process,
but
a
careless
operator
invites
trouble.
The
equipment
carries
high
currents
at
significant
voltages.
The
arc
is
very
bright
and
hot.
Sparks
fly,
fumes
rise,
ultraviolet
and
infrared
energy
radiates,
weidments
are
hot,
and
compressed
gases
may
be
us
ed.
The
wise
operator
avoids
unnecessary
risks
and
pro
tects
himself
and
others
from
accidents.
Precautions
are
described
here
and
in
standards
referenced
in
index.
A.
Burn
Protection
Comply
with
precautions
in
1-2.
The
welding
arc
is
intense
and
visibly
bright.
Its
radia
tion
can
damage
eyes,
penetrate
lightweight
clothing,
reflect
from
light-colored
surfaces,
and
burn
the
skin
and
eyes.
Skin
burns
resemble
acute
sunburn,
those
from
gas-shielded
arcs
are
more
severe
and
painful.
DONT
GET
BURNED;
COMPLY
WITH
PRECAU
TIONS.
1.
Protective
Clothing
Wear
long-sleeve
clothing
(particularly
for
gas-shielded
arc)
in
addition
to
gloves,
hat,
and
shoes
(1
-2A).
As
necessary,
use
additional
protective
clothing
such
as
leather
jacket
or
sleeves,
flame-proof
apron,
and
fire-
resistant
leggings.
Avoid
outergarments
of
untreated
cotton.
Bare
skin
protection.
Wear
dark,
substantial
clothing.
Button
collar
to
protect
chest
and
neck
and
button
pockets
to
prevent
entry
of
sparks.
2.
