When it comes to your welding area, practice good housekeeping. Take the time before, during, and after a welding project to make sure the area is tidy and organized. Here are a few pointers to help you accomplish the goal of maintaining a shipshape welding shop:

 Designate a place for all tools, and when you’re done using a tool, be sure it goes back in the correct place. At the end of a welding project (or at the end of the day), clean all tools and inspect them for any damage that may have occurred while you were welding.

 Keep cables neat and free of knots. Nothing makes for a worse tripping hazard than messy tangles of cables.

 If you have any combustible items in your shop, be sure they’re stored away safely before you start to weld. (“Storing flammable liquids and gases” later in the chapter gives you the lowdown on proper safekeeping of such items.)

 Be sure your work area has adequate lighting. A well-lit workspace is less likely to become cluttered and disorganized.

 Keep all scrap metal out of your welding area.

 If a spill occurs, stop what you’re doing and clean it up immediately.

 When your waste or garbage container becomes full, take the time to go and dump it.
