2. Check that there are no structural openings or cracks that
hot debris can enter. Seal cracks and openings to adjacent
areas that a spark or slag can enter. Seal any openings
found with a fire-resistant cover. Shut doors and windows
that do not provide ventilation or erect protective screens
in front of them when possible.
3. Do not weld a panel that is a sandwich construction of
combustible and metal materials.
4. Do not perform any welding work on containers that held
flammable or toxic substance until they are cleaned by a
person trained in removing toxic and flammable substances
and vapours.
5. Open a container before performing any welding work on
it. The heat generated by the welding process will cause
the air and gases to expand. The internal pressure may
cause a sealed or closed container to rupture, possibly
causing an injury or death.
6. Have a fire extinguisher available for immediate use. A dry
chemical fire extinguisher with Types A, B and C is suggested.
6.1 Do not use liquid based fire extinguishing methods
near the electric arc welding unit, as it may cause a
shock hazard.
7. Ventilation systems should be positioned so sparks or
molten slag isn't carried to an adjacent area.
8. Have a Fire Watcher observing areas outside of the
welder's view, such as the opposite side of a wall or behind
the welder. A fire may also start on the other side of a
structure that could not be removed. The Fire Watcher will
extinguish a fire or raise the alarm to evacuate if the fire
cannot be contained by the extinguishing equipment.
8.1. A fire watch extends at least 30 minutes after the
welding is complete to ensure there are no fires caused
by smoldering sparks or ejected material.
