3.3 ARC Welding And Brazing
IMPORTANT:
The extremely bright arc during welding may cause serious injury to the eyes if appropriate protective measures are not taken.
- Use a special welding screen for the relevant welding process (MAG or MIG).
- Partition off the work bays with beam protection screens.
- Use a welding-emissions extractor facility.
- The welder must wear protective clothing and gloves which are suitable for welding (i.e. flameproof).
- A fire extinguisher must be located within reach of the welding area.
- Do not carry out any welding work in the proximity of a fuel tank e.g. when it is installed.
- Note national regulations.
