1. *Following the rules of welding.

 
2. You are responsible for yourself. 
3. First-degree burns= Burns that occur on the surface of the skin that appear reddish in color that occurs via temperatures of 
about 130º F. 
Second degree burns= Severely Damaged skin due to temperatures of over 130º F 
Third-degree burns= Surface of the skin and possibly tissue below appear charred or white, due to temperatures of around 
480º F. 
4. First-degree= clean it with a washcloth soaked in cool water, then bandage .  
Second degree= run under cold water, do not apply any sort of antiseptics or home remedies, and bandage 
Third-degree= Do not remove any clothes that seem to be attached to the burn, do not apply any remedies or antiseptics, 
place a cold cloth, without ice on the burn, call an ambulance and have the burn then treated by a doctor. 
5. Ultraviolet, Infrared, and visible light will be present during welding. 
6. Uv light is the most dangerous especially if shined in the eyes, keep protective covering over the eyes that blocks direct light 
contact. 
7. Use a welding curtain to protect others and wear dark clothes to protect yourself. 
8. Flash burn. 
9. You can burn your retinas or the whites of your eyes. 
10. Without medical examination you can have bacteria grow in there that can cause an infection. 
11. Cotton, blue jeans, and leather. 
12. All your clothing should be some kind of cotton, with leather to cover it, wear steel toed leather boots , and a welding mask 
over either a bandana or a hat, make sure to wear safety glasses as well. 
13. Explosive fluid mixed with the heat of the welder could cause an explosion and or fire. 
14. All-leather gauntlet type gloves, Full leather jacket, Bib aprons or full aprons, arm and shoulder 
15. Eye protection must be worn at all times because it can stop debris from flying into your eyes.
16. Ear injuries caused from welding can include loss of hearing later in life, which cannot be restored.
17. Two forms of ear protection include earmuffs and earplugs.
18. Information included in the respirator training program should be: the use of respirators, how to maintain a respirator,
selection of a proper respirator, procedures on the proper fitting of respirators, proper use of respirators,and regular
evaluation of the effectiveness of the program.
19. One type of respirator is the air-purifying respirator. This one removes air contaminants by passing ambient air through
the air-purifying element. Another type of respirator is the atmosphere-supplying respirator which supplies breathing air
from a source independent of the ambient atmosphere.
20. Excessive fumes, ozone, or smoke can give off dangerous fumes which should be ventilated.
21. Metal that has been used before must be cleaned because any chemicals already on the metal will mix with the newer
fumes, thus creating an even more hazardous gas.
22. Natural ventilation can be used in bigger welding areas (10,000 cubic feet).
23. Two advantages for recycling scrap metal are that it is good for the environment and that it can generate revenue for the
welding shop.
24. Forced ventilation must be used in smaller shops or shops with a large amount of welders.
25. Safety data sheets must be given to anyone handling hazardous materials or in the area where hazardous materials can
be handled.
26. An acceptable storage area for a cylinder of fuel gas is anywhere separated by 20 feet or by a wall 5 feet or higher.
27. High-pressure gas cylinders must be secured with a chain or other device so they cannot be knocked over accidentally.
28. If there is a leaking cylinder, move it outside.
29. When cylinders are horizontal, the acetone will build up and it will lower the flame temperature and can damage regulator
or torch valve settings.
30. Hot work is anything that has to do with fire, when you are essentially “wielding” fire.
31. Highly combustible materials should be at least 35 feet away when welding.
32. Fire watch is needed all the time when welding.
33. The four types of fire extinguishers are:Type A, Type B, Type C, and Type D. Type A is used for combustible solids, Type
B is used for combustible liquids, Type C is used for electrical fires, and Type D is used for fires involving combustible
materials.
34. A planned maintenance for equipment is useful so it can detect potential problems.
35. Keeping a work area clean is better because if there are collections of steel, welding electrode stubs, wire, hoses, and
cables, it may be easier to trip which isn’t very good.
36. If you leave a hot piece of metal unattended, you should write the word “hot” on it.
37. A mushroomed head of a chisel must be ground off because the mushroomed part will be harder to hold with your hand.
38. The cause of most electrical shocks is accidental contact with bare or poorly insulated conductors.
39. The factors necessary for a confined space hazard are metal enclosure, wetness, restricted entry, heavier than air gas,
welder inside or on workpiece.
 40. If too much power is being carried by a cable, it can overheat and break down the insulation rapidly.
41. If the equipment isn’t unplugged you will be shocked.
42. 12 is the recommended size for an amperage of 9 and a cord length of 100 feet.
43. GFCI is ground-fault circuit interrupter.
44. 5 tips for extension cord use are: 1) connect the cord of a portable electric power tool into the extension cord before the
extension cord is plugged in 2) always unplug the extension cord before unplugging the portable power tool 
45. Know the tool, ground the portable power tool unless it is double insulated, do not expose the power tool to water or rain, 
keep the work area well-lighted, portable electric tools should never be started or operated around propane, natural 
gasoline, or any other flammable liquids, do not force a cutting tool to go faster, use the right tool for the job, wear eye 
protection, wear a face or dusk mask, take care of the power cord, secure your work with clamps, do not overreach when 
operating a power tool, maintain power tools, disconnect the tools from the power source when not in use, form the habit of 
checking to see that any keys of wrenches are removed from the tool before turning on, avoid accidental starting, be sure 
accessories and cutting bits are attached securely to the tool, do not use tools with cracked or damaged housings, give your 
full attention to the tool when operating it, never use a power tool if it’s safeties or guards have been removed or are 
inoperable. 
46. You can cause a short or electrocute yourself. 
47. A grinding wheel, and the hand held grinding tool. 
48. 1/16 of an inch 
49. Shears, pinches, cut off machines and band saws 
50. The weight of the object should be distributed equally between both hands, and you should use your legs, not your back, to 
lift. 
51. Look for loose of damaged steps, rings, rails or braces on the ladder, check to see if all of the hardware is tight. If the ladder is 
made of wood it should be checked for cracks, repair anything that can be repaired, if it’s not repairable, replace it. 
52. Follow all recommended practices for ladder safety, do not exceed weight limits
