4.2. Guidelines for securing fire hazardous work
Preparing the building and rooms for fire hazardous works consists in:
a) cleaning the rooms or places where the work will be carried out of any flammable materials and
contamination;
b) move all flammable and non-flammable objects in flammable packaging to a safe distance;
c) protect materials which cannot be removed by covering them, for example, with metal sheets,
gypsum boards, etc . against the effects of, for example, welding spatter;
d) checking whether materials or objects susceptible to ignition in adjacent rooms do not require
local protection;
e) seal with non-flammable materials any through-holes in installation, ventilation, etc., located in
the vicinity of the place of work;
f) protect against welding spatter or mechanical damage all electric, gas and installation cables with
flammable insulation, provided that they are within the range of risk caused by fire hazardous
works;
g) check whether any painting or other works using flammable substances were not carried out on
that day.
Sparks may cause fires
Welding sparks can cause fires, explosions and burns to unprotected skin. Wear welding gloves and
protective clothing when welding. Remove or secure all flammable materials and substances from the
work area. Do not weld closed containers or tanks that have contained flammable liquids. Such
containers or tanks should be flushed before welding to remove flammable liquids. Do not weld near
flammable gases, vapors or liquids. Fire fighting equipment (fire blankets and powder or snow
extinguishers) should be located near the work area in a visible and easily accessible location.
Cylinders can explode
Use only approved gas cylinders and a properly functioning regulator. Cylinders should be transported,
stored and positioned upright. Protect cylinders from heat, tipping and mechanical damage. Keep all
parts of gas installation in good condition: cylinder, hose, fittings, regulator.
Welded materials can cause burns
Never touch welded parts with unprotected body parts. Always wear welding gloves and pliers when
touching or moving welded material.
4.3. Preparation of the workplace for welding
Caution! Welding can cause a fire or explosion.
a) Observe the health and safety regulations for welding work and equip the workplace with an
appropriate fire extinguisher
