USE OF EPP

The welding job requires total body

protection against hot metal ( burn)
and radiation.

RISKS OF WORK OF CUTTING

AND WELDING

All those processes and procedures are

developed permanently, temporarily or for
maintenance at ground level , height ,
basement, confined space or in containers
that contain or have contained flammable or
explosive residues for the worker to perform
the union, metal apart or perforation

In the construction industry for cutting and

welding are not considered a risky
occupation, but there are many risks
associated with these activities such as :
The high temperature can cause burns
and fires.
Vapors may cause injury to health
Electric shock may suffer .

there may be leakage of hydrocarbons

from cutting equipment .
Radiation that can cause burns and eye
arc .

Effective protection can reduce the risks ,

although a good working environment is
even more important .

WELDING EQUIPMENT AND USE

All cables and connections must be

verified to ensure they are in good
condition.
Tighten the terminals to mount
welding cables as a loose terminal
when heat welded to the point of
melting or burning plastic parts
causing a short in the machinery .
Before turning on the welding
machine make sure the cord is not in
raided and causing overheating in the
same due to the coil that is created by
entangled .
Do not alter any mechanism and / or
attachment of the welding machine .
Positioned as close as possible to the
area to be welded the earth clamp .
Do not let the torch with rebar when
not working as it can be moved by
mistake and stick to metal part by
increasing the temperature in the
equipment causing fire and / or short.
Do not weld on wet surfaces.
When finished , or pause their activities
for a long time , switch off the welding
machine
