9.11 WELDING AND FLAME CUTTING
Flame Cutting
In flame cutting operation, the metal plates are cut with the flame of burning fuel gas and other
gases and sometime include the use of pressure. In oxygen cutting, the metal is heated by
burning fuel gases and then severed or removed by the chemical reaction of metal and oxygen.
The handling and storage of gas cylinders needs particular attention.
 Welding and cutting gases commonly used, include oxygen, acetylene and argon. Reference
should be made to the relevant material safety data sheets.
 Protect cylinders from cuts or abrasions.
 Do not lift compressed gas cylinders with an electromagnet or slings. Where cylinders must
be handled by a crane, carry them in a cradle or suitable platform.
 Do not tamper safety devices in valves on cylinders.
 Load cylinders to be transported, allowing less movement between cylinders. Secure them to
prevent violent contact or upsetting.
 Cylinders should be stored in a safe, dry, well ventilated place prepared and reserved for that
purpose.
 Cylinders should not be stored near elevators, gangways, stairwells, or other places where
they can be knocked down or damaged
 Cylinders of oxygen stored indoors should not be within 6 meters of cylinders containing
flammable gases or highly combustible materials.
 Acetylene and liquefied fuel gas cylinders should be stored with the valve end up.
 Defective pressure gauges shall not be permitted on regulators.
 Gas cylinders during use shall be kept vertical, secured by chain on mobile trolleys having
rubber tyres.
 The oxygen regulator should be equipped with a safety relief valve or be so designed that,
should the diaphragm rupture, than broken parts will not fly.
 Never allow oxygen and oil to mix as it may cause an explosion.
 Long hoses should not be used, as they are difficult to purge. Leaking hoses must be repaired
immediately.
 Protect hoses from sparks, slag, grease, oil and hot objects.
 Check valves (flashback arrestors) should be installed at the torch end of each hose to prevent
back-flow of gases.
 Before changing torches, shut off the gas at the pressure reducing regulators and not by
crimping the hose.
 Never put down a torch until the gases have been completely shut off.
 Do not hang torches from a regulator or other equipment that allows them to come in
contact with the sides of gas cylinders.
Page 25 of 53
 When extinguishing the flame, close the acetylene and oxygen valves in the order
recommended by the torch manufacturer.
 NEVER keep gas cylinders inside a confined space.
 When gas welding is complete it is essential that the shut off valve on the cylinder is closed so
there is no danger of the gas building up in a confined area such as an excavation, vessel or
tank.
ARC Welding
In arc welding, metals are joined by heating with application of pressure or use of filler metal. The
process includes shielded welding which uses gas or a solid flux to blanket the weld. Welding
cables may be subjected to severe abuse if they are dragged over work under construction and
across sharp corners, or run over by vehicles. Special attention needs to be given to prevent
electric shock.
 Replace or repair defective cable immediately.
 In confined areas, cover or arrange cables to prevent contact with falling sparks.
 Never change electrodes with bare hands, wet gloves, or when standing on wet floors.
 Earth or ground the frames of both portable and stationary welding units.
 Keep welding cables dry and free of grease and oil to prevent breakdown of insulation.
 Take special care to keep welding cables away from power supply cables or high-tension
wires.
 If a cable (either a work lead or electrode lead) exposes bare conductors, then cover the
exposed portion with rubber, plastic or friction tape equivalent in insulation to the cable
covering.
 If cables have to run some considerable distance from the welding unit then consider placing
them onto overhead supports.
 Protect cables that must be laid on the floor or ground so they will not interfere with safe
passage or become damaged or entangled.
 If it is necessary to weld or cut near combustible materials, the combustible materials should
be moved to a safe distance away or protected by non-combustible curtains or sheet metal.
Floors of wood or other combustible materials should be swept clean and, if possible,
protected with a flame resistant covering. Alternatively combustible material is required to
be isolated.
 A fire watch and a fire extinguisher should be maintained throughout the welding or cutting
operation and continued for at least 30 minutes after job completion
 Gases (the oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, ozone) and metallic dusts and fumes may
pose respiratory hazards during welding work. If gases, dusts, and fumes cannot be kept
below the Threshold Limit Values, welders should wear suitable respirator. Should oxygen be
deficient, self-contained breathing apparatus or hose masks with blowers are necessary.
 Use local exhaust ventilation or general ventilation systems in confined areas, such as tanks
and pressure vessels. This precaution should maintain toxic gases, fumes, or dusts below the
maximum allowable concentrations.
Page 26 of 53
 Local exhaust removal or general ventilation should be used when welding involves coatings
or fluxes containing base metals that contain zinc, fluorine, beryllium, lead, or cadmium, and
their compounds, so that the concentration of any toxic fume generated is below the TLV.
 Local exhaust or general ventilation should be used to maintain the concentrations of oxides
of nitrogen within safe limits.
 When ultraviolet radiation passes through the air, ozone can be formed in the welding area.
General ventilation will usually control ozone levels in the welding area.
 Inert gas-shielded arc welding requires that precautions be taken to provide proper
respiratory protection, positive ventilation, local exhaust removal, or approved respiratory
equipment, or a combination of them.
9.12 GAS STORAGE:
A level base of compacted earth, concrete or paving slabs shall be provided and surrounded by
a secure chain link fence at least 2m high, with a hard standing provided for the delivery and
dispatch of cylinders. If the compound is more than 12sqm two exits should be provided in
opposite corners of the compound. If less than 12sqm one gate will be sufficient. Gates should
open outwards and always be unlocked when someone is in the compound. There should be
sufficient shelter to prevent cylinders from being exposed to extremes of weather.
Signs must be clearly displayed indicating the type of gas cylinders and prohibiting of smoking
and the use of any naked flame in the area of the store.
Cylinders must be stored with their valves uppermost, and not mixed with any other gases or
substances.
9.13 MANUAL HANDLING:
Lifting and moving loads manually are one of the most common causes of injury at work.
Always follows safe method for manual handling.
No workers lifts by hand or carries overhead or over his back or shoulders any material, article,
tools or appliance exceeding in weight the max limit in the following table:
Table

9.26 COMPRESSED AIR AND AIR POWERED TOOLS, HAND TOOLS & POWER TOOLS
COMPRESSED AIR AND AIR POWERED TOOLS
Compressed air whilst being a valuable industrial aid is also capable of being a serious hazard. The
improper use of compressed air has resulted in internal injuries, perforated ear drums and even
death. It has also led to severe damage to machinery.
 Never clean clothes and the work area with compressed air - use brush or vacuum
equipment.
 If an airline or coupling comes apart, it can whip about dangerously. Always fit a safety chain
to couplings.
 Do not drive vehicles over air-hoses. Provide two planks either side of the airline where they
cross roads, walkways.
 Always shut off air pressure before disconnecting air-powered tools.
 Air powered tools such as jackhammers, drilling machines, grinders, and hoists and riveting
guns subjected to scheduled maintenance inspections by competent person.
 Eye protection worn by operator and if noise is a hazard then hearing protection worn.
HAND TOOLS & POWER TOOLS
Hand tools are non-powered. They include anything from axes to wrenches. Today’s power tools
offer more power, adaptability and dependability than ever before.
Following 5 basic safety rules can prevent all hazards involved in the use of tools:
 Keep all tools in good condition with regular maintenance (CHECK INSPECTION STICKERS).
 Use the right tool for the right job.
 Inspect each tool for damage before use.
 Operate according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
 Provide and use the proper PPE.
The greatest hazards posed by hand tools result from misuse and improper maintenance. The
tool may also become unsafe to use. In fact, it is estimated that hand tool mishaps are
responsible for about 1 out of 12 workplace injuries-including cuts and bruises, punctures,
fractures, even loss of finger, hand, or eye.
Precautions
 Employees have the responsibility for properly using and maintaining tools.
 Appropriate PPE should be worn due to the hazards that may be encountered while using
portable tools.
 Avoid dangerous environments. Don’t use power tools in a damp, wet and/or explosive
atmosphere.
 Around flammable materials, sparks produced by iron and steel hand tools can be ignition
source. Where this hazard exists, use spark-resistant tools made from brass, plastic, aluminum, or
wood.
Employees should be trained in the use of all tools-not just power tools. They should understand
the potential hazards as well as the safety precautions
If you’re a power tool user:
