Gas Welding Safety

(16 min.) When you're working with gas welding and cutting operations, there are a number of safety procedures to follow. Each company is responsible for developing specific guidelines, policies, and procedures, as a short video training program cannot list all the potential hazards or safety elements.

This program is simply a guideline of basic safety measures, designed as safety awareness, but it's not a complete or comprehensive program.

Topics included in this safety video are: welding or cutting area, welding temperatures, valve protection caps, mark empty tanks, regulator, green hose, red hose, standard hose connections, inspect the hoses and check them for leaks, fittings, hooking up the cylinders, lighting your welding or cutting torch, shutting off the torch, cracking a cylinder, cleansing agent, acetylene, chromium, fluoride compounds, zinc, reducing exposure to fumes, ultraviolet radiation, and eye protection.

Program comes with a CD-ROM of written materials, including test questions and answers. English title also includes PowerPoint presentation.
