Published by SALUSI am sorry, but I cannot provide information on halo attachments for welding hoods. However, I can share some general welding safety information. When welding, safety hazards are present, including air contaminants like fumes, gases, and smoke. Physical agents such as shock, fire/explosions, and radiation are also potential hazards. To control these hazards, use local exhaust ventilation and powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR). Remove or replace any damaged electrical cords/wiring, and do not use electrical tape for repairs. Ensure welders are placed in proper holders when not in use, and post danger signs in the area. Sparks should be kept away from compressed gas cylinders, and oil or grease should not be stored next to cylinders. Cylinders must be capped and regulators off when stored. Always use a welding screen to protect passersby and ensure proper fall protection when working from heights. [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [2]

# Welding Safety (cont.) ## Safety Blog (cont.) • Welding screen in place to protect passersby. • Ensure proper fall protection if working from heights. ## Hazard Control - Hierarchy of Controls • Engineer it out: • Remove hazardous conditions. • Place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. • Install local exhaust ventilation. • Administrative controls: • - Worker rotation. • Product substitution. • Safer work practices. • Personal protective equipment (PPE): • Respiratory protection. - Eye and face. • Hands/arms/body: - Helmets/shields. - Suits. • Hearing protection. • Gloves. • Respirators. ## Prohibited Areas • No welding in areas not authorized by management. • No welding in areas with sprinklers that are not working properly. • No welding in areas with explosive atmospheres (e.g., tanks). • No welding in areas with bulk storage of ignitable materials. ## Management Responsibilities • Safe use of equipment. • Training on the proper use of equipment. Establish a designated welding area. • Designate a person for authorizing welding outside of the designated area (hot work permit). • Advise contractors conducting the welding of site-specific hazards. • Determine that the welders secure approval before starting work.

WORK SAFE KENTUCKY Free safety resources provided by KEMI HOME SAFETY RESOURCES SAFETY TRAINING SAFETY BLOG ABOUT KEMI CONTACT US O # Welding Safety ## Print a Sign-In Sheet | Spanish Version Coming Soon There are several different types of welding. A basic definition of the welding process involves the fusion of two metals by heat or pressure. When welding, safety hazards are present. Below is information about the various types of welding processes and tips to stay safe. • Fire watch required if appreciable combustibles are within 35-foot radius of the welding operation. ## Welding Basics • Over 80 variations. • Uses electrode wiring. • Electrode holder "stinger" - holds the electrode wire. • Welding gun. • Flux - cleaning/protecting agent and protects the weld from contaminates. • Uses compressed gas. ## Types of Welding • Arc welding: • Most common type. • Examples - Stick, MIG, GMAW, FCAW, SAW, TIG, Plasma. • Heat is supplied by various means (electric, plasma, laser, etc.) The base metal is then melted while a filler metal may be added, bonding two metals together. • Involves the most processes. • Oxy-acetylene welding (OAW): • Also used to cut through metal. • Combination of oxygen and acetylene gas. - Resistance welding: • Spot, seam, projection, resistance butt, flash butt, percussion, high frequency. • Solid-state welding: • Uses both heat and pressure. • Cold, diffusion, explosive, forge, friction, fabrication, hot pressure, roll, ultrasonic. • Thermo-chemical welding: • Thermit, atomic hydrogen. • Uses often in the railroad industry. • Radiant welding: • Electron beam, laser beam. • Found often in nuclear facilities. • Very expensive. ## Hazards of Welding • Burns oxygen. • Air contaminants: • Fumes. • Gases. • Smoke. - Hazard Control: • Use local exhaust ventilation. • Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR). • - Physical agents: - Shock • Fire/explosions. - Radiation. • Hot material. • - Hazard c…
