- Ventilation must be adequate to remove gases and fumes during operation. All fumes produced during
welding have to be efficiently removed during its production, and as close as possible from the place they are
produced.
- Vapors of chlorinated solvents can form toxic gas phosgene when exposed to ultraviolet radiation from an
electric arc.
Safety in the use of gases (welding with TIG or MIG inert gases)
Compressed gas cylinders
Compressed gas cylinders are potentially dangerous. Refer to suppliers for proper handling
procedures:
- No impact: secure the cylinders and keep them away from impacts.
- No excess heat (over 50°C)
Pressure relief valve
- Check that the pressure relief screw is slackened off before connecting to the cylinder.
- Check that the union is tight before opening the valve of the cylinder. Open it slowly a fraction of a turn.
- If there is a leak, NEVER tighten a union under pressure, but first close the valve on the cylinder.
- Always check that hoses are in good condition
