Welding Safety
Course Length: 30 - 45 minutes
High-impact training
covering the essentials of welding safety.
People have been welding in one form or another for over
2,000 years. But like many industrial processes, welding can be very dangerous.
Whether an employee is working with the hazardous gases of an oxyacetylene
unit, the high voltage of stick welding, or the combination of gas and
electricity that powers "MIG" and "TIG" operations, flying
sparks, toxic fumes, electric shock and high temperatures are just some of the
things that can make welding a dangerous proposition.
Welding Safety
reminds employees that there are indeed a number of hazards associated with
welding, and provides the information they need to work safely when involved
with welding operations.
This training covers the following topics:
- Getting
"authorization" for welding operations
- Sparking
and the risk of fire
- Guards
and protective barriers
- Hazardous
fumes and ventilation
- The
use of respirators and other personal protective equipment
- Eye
protection (welding helmets, filters, glasses and goggles)
- Inspecting
welding equipment
- Proper
welding safety procedures
- And
more!
