Читать книгу Welding For Dummies - Steven Robert Farnsworth - Страница 56

I’ve heard that some people are accident prone, but I just don’t believe that — especially when it comes to welding. Welding accidents occur when welders act carelessly, don’t read instructions, and don’t follow safety regulations. Every year, thousands of people are injured because they don’t take safety precautions while welding.

In many ways, welding safety is a habit. It’s the result of taking the appropriate precautions over and over, every time you weld. Following are a few safety tips that you should make a habit of in your welding shop:

 Don’t take chances while welding.

 Don’t use any welding equipment or supplies until you’ve thoroughly read the instructions and any additional safety information.

 Any time an accident occurs, be sure to fix the problem that caused it before doing any additional welding.

In addition to these very basic safety tips, you also need to be familiar with a few more-involved safety goals, and that’s what I cover throughout the rest of this section.
