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.
