e.g. sheet metal, gypsum boards, etc;
• checking whether materials or objects susceptible to ignition in adjacent rooms do not
require local protection;

at the location where the work is to be done.
Sparks may cause fires
Welding sparks can cause fires, explosions and burns to unprotected skin. Wear welding gloves and
protective clothing when welding. Remove or secure all flammable materials and substances from the
work area. Do not weld closed containers or tanks that have contained flammable liquids. Such
containers or tanks should be flushed before welding to remove flammable liquids. Do not weld near
flammable gases, vapors or liquids. Fire fighting equipment (fire blankets and powder or snow
extinguishers) should be located near the work area in a visible and easily accessible location.
Welded materials can cause burns
Never touch welded parts with unprotected body parts. Always wear welding gloves and pliers when
touching or moving welded material.
