INFORMATION SHEET No. 1.1-1
Hazard to be avoided in welding
Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
 Determine the hazard to be avoided in welding.
INTRODUCTION
In accordance to the safety guidelines issued by the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) and the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), employers must make sure that people using
welding equipment at work:
 Have read and clearly understand the work instructions for the welding
equipment they are using given by the manufacturer;
 Have thoroughly reviewed all of the data safety sheets;
 Comply to the implemented safety practices in the company.
Apart from the above precautions, welders should be aware of the
following 5 most critical welding safety risks, and the preventive
measures which need to be taken in order to avoid them:
Top 5 welding safety hazards and how to avoid them
1. Hazardous fumes and gases

The fumes released from the welding process contain metal oxide
compounds which are potentially harmful. In order to avoid any
incidents, welders must work in places where there is sufficient
ventilation and exhaust control, such as exhaust hoods, fans or
another exhaust system. Welders should keep their heads out of the
fumes. In case the exposure level to the fumes is higher than
acceptable, welders should wear approved respirators. The ventilation
and exhaust systems and the exposure levels need to be checked on a
regular basis.
2. Electric shock
This is a serious hazard for welders which can lead to serious injuries
and unfortunately even to death due to the shock or the body’s reaction
to the electric shock. This can occur when the welder touches two metal
objects which have voltage between them and becomes part of the
electrical circuit. The higher the voltage is - the bigger the risk of injury
Document No.
METAL ARC MPCF
Mariners’
and even death. In welding, the biggest electrical shock hazard comes
from suffering a secondary shock ranging from 20 to 100 volts from the
arc welding circuit. Even 50 volts are enough to cause serious injuries
and death. AC voltage is more likely to cause the heart of the person in
contact to stop than DC voltage. It also makes it more difficult for the
person in the circuit to let go and release themselves from the electrical
current. To avoid this, the footwear website Mybootprint recommends
that welders should wear suitable footwear or otherwise be insulated
from the ground, and never touch the metal parts or the electrode of
the electrode holder with their skin and clothing. Welders should
always be wearing dry gloves to avoid the secondary electric shock.
Also, the electrode holder must be inspected for any damage to the
insulation, and if there is any - get it repaired or replace before
proceeding with the welding. Even when it is not in use but it is turned
on, welding equipment poses a risk of electric shock. Only qualified
personnel should perform repairs of welding equipment.
3. Fire or explosions
The extreme temperatures of the welding arc and the spatter and
sparks created by it pose serious fire as well as explosion hazards. As
safety precautions, welders must always make sure there are no liquid,
gas or solid flammable materials at a radius of 35ft from the welding
spot. Also, the fume exhaust systems can be fitted with additional fire
prevention systems. Fire extinguishers should be placed nearby and
regularly checked for conformity. Additional options are fire hoses or
buckets full of sand. If there are flammable materials which cannot be
removed in the area, they should be covered with fire resistant blankets
or sheet metal. The welder must know where the fire alarm is.
4. Unsuitable and insufficient personal protective equipment (PPE)

Welders should wear safety clothing which is flame resistant, durable
and still allows them to move freely in order to perform their jobs.
Leather and flame resistant cotton safety clothing are the recommended
options. The skin must be covered at all times, and pants should be
worn on top of the safety boots. Apart from the welding helmet, welders
should always wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Safety
work boots such as these with strong leather uppers, ankle coverage,
metatarsal protection and guards covering the shoe laces are a must -
to keep the feet protected from falling objects or sparks. Also, flame
resistant leather or other gloves must be worn. Ear plus or muffs will
help protect the ear drums from the noise.

5. Additional safety considerations
When working in a confined space, welders must pay closer attention to
the work environment and take extra safety precautions to remain safe,
and other employees to be safe during the welding. Clutter and other
debris must be removed periodically to prevent from tripping. Welders
should be careful when handling the sharp edges of the cans of
electrode. Always make sure the welding equipment and the PPE is not
damaged before starting to work.

INTRODUCTION
The hazards in arc welding can endanger a welder’s life if he/she

is not wearing the proper protective clothing and equipment. Here are
some information on the suitable outfit that a welder must wear while
welding:
WELDING SHIELD/HELMET
Welding shield/helmet is used to protect the face and eyes from the
arc rays (Infrared Rays, Ultra Violet Rays) and heat and spatter from the
molten metal. The arc is viewed through a filter which reduces the
intensity of radiation but allows a safe amount of light to pass for viewing
the weld pool and end of the electrode.
The recommended minimum protective filter based on the welding
current to be used is shown in the table below:

Pre-use inspection and checking procedure

.
Learning Objective:
 Determine the Pre-use inspection and checking procedure
INTRODUCTION
All tools, equipment, and vehicles must be properly maintained so that workers are
not endangered. Construction regulations require inspections of vehicles, tools,
machines, and equipment before use.
Preventive maintenance is the systematic care and protection of tools, equipment,

machines, and vehicles in order to keep them in a safe, usable condition, that limits
downtime and extends productivity. We must always be aware that maintenance
tasks themselves are potentially hazardous and can result in injury. The successful
maintenance program is:
 well organized and scheduled
 controls hazards
 defines operational procedures
 trains key personnel.

The degree of detail to include in your company's program regarding equipment
maintenance will depend on the kinds of tools/equipment used. Some construction
equipment (e.g., cranes) have very specific inspection and maintenance
requirements. Mobile heavy equipment (dozers, loaders, scrapers, etc.) may have
different maintenance requirements. Passenger vehicles (company trucks, cars, and
vans) may require only basic maintenance. Power tools should be maintained in
good working order. This may be limited to ensuring that blades/bits are replaced
when needed and that guards or other safety devices are operable and any

damaged electrical cords/plugs are repaired or replaced. Damaged or defective
equipment/tools should be tagged and removed from service.
Most manufacturers can provide maintenance schedules for their equipment. Large
companies with a fleet of vehicles/equipment typically have a comprehensive
maintenance program due to the capital investment and/or leasing agreements.
Smaller companies may lease equipment and maintenance services may be

INTRODUCTION
When it comes to handling hand tools, it is just as important to practice
proper safety precautions. If you don’t, you are putting yourself and others
at risk.
1. INSPECT YOUR TOOLS. Never issue or use a damaged or defective hand

or power tool. Always make sure they are in good working order before
and after each use.
2. PICK THE RIGHT TOOL. Make sure you are using the correct tool for the
task at hand. This also means using the right sized bits, blades and
accessories on your power tools.
3. WEAR YOUR PPE. Issue personal protective equipment to your employees
and make sure they wear them properly. This comprises of items like
safety goggles, hard hats, etc.
4. DON’T ALTER YOUR TOOLS. Never remove guards or disable safety
devices on power tools. Don’t paint or cover up your tools as this could
prevent you from noticing chips or cracks.
5. HANDLE WITH CARE. Tools are not toys. Never throw or toss a tool in the
direction of or directly to a coworker. Never use electrical cords to lower or
lift a tool to get it to a workspace.
6. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. When working with hand and power tools be
sure you have enough room to safely operate without coming into contact
with other objects or coworkers.
7. PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF. Don’t leave idle hand tools lying around the

Different types of injuries
Learning Objective:
 Determine the different types of injuries
INTRODUCTION
Welding is also one of the most dangerous occupations because of the
likelihood of workplace injury from burns, toxic fumes and electricity.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
welding, cutting, and brazing pose safety and health risks to over 500,000
American workers in a wide variety of industries.
Common Welding Injuries
 Electric Shock: this is one of the most common welding accidents

welders face, typically caused when two metal parts that have a voltage
touch, or by secondary voltage shock where a welder touches part of the
welding or electrical circuit while his body touches a part of the metal he
is welding.
 Hearing loss: Welders can be exposed to excessive noise—above 85
decibels on average throughout a workday without proper ear protection
can result in permanent hearing loss.
 Respiratory Illness: Due to a likely exposure to toxic metal welding
fumes and gases, including harmful metal oxide compounds, base
metals, base coatings, beryllium, and manganese, toxins may
accumulate in the lungs and lead to a range of adverse effects and long-
term conditions like pulmonary fibrosis.
 Chemical, Electrical & Contact Burns: Because of the high heat of a
welding arc and the hazardous fumes, gases, and chemicals welders
work with, they face a serious risk of being injured in a fire or explosion.
Welders are exposed to extremely hot materials.
 Optical hazards: Eye injuries make up around a quarter of all welding
injuries, and can be serious permanent injuries that result from welding
sparks, chemical vapors, and “arc eye,” ultraviolet and infrared radiation
from the welding electrical arc. “Welder’s flash,” a burn to the eyes
accounts for a great deal of construction eye injuries. Arc radiation can
penetrate the retina and cause permanent retinal damage, including
cataracts, diminished vision, and higher sensitivity to light.

 Manganism (Welders’ Parkinson’s Disease): the manganese in welding
rods can destroy brain cells and cause nerve damage. Welding releases
toxic manganese molecules which can be inhaled and deeply affect the
nervous system. Exposure to manganese may reduce dopamine levels—
dopamine being neurotransmitter responsible for normal motor function.
Patients with manganism exhibit problems with balance, stiffness, and a
difficulty moving face muscles. Welders can experience short-term
memory loss, slurred speech, sleep disorders, and impaired judgment.

Learning Objective:
 Understand the first aid treatment procedure
INTRODUCTION
In the workplace, it is the job of a first aid responder to assist in stabilizing
an injured or ill person until professional medical help arrives. 29 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.151 states, "In the absence of an infirmary,
clinic or hospital in near proximity of the workplace which is used for the
treatment of all injured employees, a person or persons shall be adequately
trained to render first aid. Adequate first aid supplies shall be readily
available." The basic purpose of this standard is to assure that adequate
first aid is available in the critical minutes between the occurrence of an
injury or illness and the availability of professional care.
First aid is medical attention that is typically administered immediately after

an injury or illness occurs. It usually consists of one-time, short-term
treatment, such as cleaning minor cuts, treating minor burns, applying
bandages, and using non-prescription medicine. The overall goals of first aid
are:
 Keep the victim alive.
 Prevent the victim’s condition from worsening.
 Give first aid until help arrives.
 Ensure that the victim receives needed medical care.

Good Samaritan Laws
Every state has some form of a Good Samaritan statute. These laws were
enacted to encourage people to help others in emergency situations. They
offer legal protection to responders who provide emergency care to ill or
injured persons. They require that the provider act in good faith with good
intentions, use common sense, only provide care that they have been
trained to give and act voluntarily. Coverage and circumstances under
which care is delivered varies by state. If you're interested in learning more
about the Good Samaritan Laws in your state, contact a local legal
professional.
Hospital Emergency Contact Number
Each hospital has its own emergency number. You need to contact the
nearest one in your location to save time. The emergency hotline number for
the Philippines is 911.

Types of fire extinguishers
Learning Objective:
 Identify the types of fire extinguishers
INTRODUCTION
There are different types of fire extinguishers because there are various
types of fires. Each extinguisher is suitable for fighting certain types, and
it’s important for you to know the differences if its your job to fight fires at
work. Being able to immediately distinguish which extinguisher you need in
an emergency apart could make a lifesaving difference.
Throughout this article, we will explain the different classes of fires, the
symbols that identify these, and the different types of extinguishers and
their uses.
What Are the Different Classes of Fires?
Fires must be fought carefully depending on the materials involved. That is

why they have been classified in 6 different categories:
 Class A – Fires that involve solid flammables and dusts, such as
wood, plastics, paper and cardboard, fabric and textiles, and dusts
such as grain dust and flour.
 Class B – Fires that involve flammable liquids, such as gasoline,
petroleum oil, paint, or diesel.
 Class C – Fires that involve flammable gases, such as propane,
butane, or methane.
 Class D – Fires that involve combustible metals, such as magnesium,
lithium, sodium, potassium, titanium, or aluminium.
 Class F – Fires that involve cooking oils and fats, such as vegetable
oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, maize oil, lard, or butter (typically those
used for deep-fat fryers).
