4. Safe Practices For The Use Of Welding Equipment
In many situations the “striking” voltage can be hazardous. Any person touching simultaneously the
electrode lead/terminal and the work lead/terminal may receive a serious electrical shock. Additional
precautions must be exercised where two Welding Power Sources are being used close to each other
because, under certain conditions, the voltages between the welding terminals of the two Welding Power
Sources could be two times the specified open circuit voltage.
It is essential that the Welding Power Source be correctly installed, if necessary, by a qualified electrician
and maintained in sound mechanical and electrical condition. It is also important that the Welding Power
Source be switched off when not in use.
4.1 Precautions to be Taken by Operators
♦ Whenever practicable, all parts of the welding circuit should be isolated from earth and other
conducting material and under no circumstances should any earthing conductor of the electrical
installation be used in place of the work lead.
♦ The Mains supply voltage should be switched off before connecting or disconnecting welding
leads. Welding lead connections must have clean contact surfaces and must be securely tightened.
Poor connections will result in overheating and loss of welding current. All parts of the welding
circuit, including the return paths, are to be considered electrically alive, so the operator must
ensure that no part of the body is placed in such a position that it will provide a path for an electric
current.
♦ Welding operators should avoid direct contact with the work to be welded or against any metal in
contact with the work. When this cannot be avoided the operator must not touch any exposed
portion of the electrode holder with any part of the body. Should this occur, the operator will risk
completing the electrical circuit through the body.
♦ When welding in confined spaces, where reasonable movement is restricted, particular care must
be taken to ensure that the area is well ventilated and the operator is under constant observation
by a person who can immediately switch off the power and give assistance in an emergency.
♦ The flux covering of an electrode cannot be assumed to provide effective insulation, consequently
an insulating glove must be worn when placing an electrode into its holder, or should it be
necessary to handle an electrode once it is in contact with its holder.
