Welding Safety Disclaimer

Welding is hazardous. Welding involves fire, electrical, UV, fume, heat, gas-cylinder, and burn hazards. OSHA notes welding fumes and gases can cause irritation, dizziness, nausea, and other health effects. Always:

• Wear a properly rated welding helmet and safety glasses.
• Wear welding gloves and flame-resistant clothing.
• Ensure ventilation or use a fume extractor.
• Remove flammables from the work area; keep an extinguisher nearby.
• Secure gas cylinders upright with cap on.
• Verify your machine’s voltage, amperage, and duty cycle in its manual.
• Never weld closed containers, unknown coatings, or hazardous materials without proper controls.
