1.2 The Knowledge of Electric and Magnetic Fields

Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). The

discussion on the effect of EMF is ongoing all the world. Up to now, no material evidences show that

EMF may have effects on health. However, the research on damage of EMF is still ongoing. Before any

 Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special

precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situation.

 When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is

touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating

and create a fire hazard.

 Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper

steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause

flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an

explosion even though they have been “cleaned”.

 Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding.

They may explode.

 Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free

protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff less

trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when

welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety

glasses with side shields when in a welding area.

 Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as

practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other

locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the

welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other

alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains

or cables until they fail.

 Hot parts can lead to burn.

 Do not touch the hot parts.

 Please use the torch after cooling or use the welding blow lamp.
