3.1 Ventilation should be enough to disperse fumes, but not
enough to disturb the flame during welding.
3.2 Ventilation exhaust shall be directed to a non-work area to
avoid exposing other people to potential toxic or dangerous
fumes.
3.3 Air removed from the work area by the ventilation system must be
replenished with fresh air to avoid oxygen starvation or a build-up
of fumes or gases. Only use air to provide ventilation. Any other
combination of gases may be explosive or toxic to people in the
work area.
3.4 Ventilation methods that remove gas and fumes from the
welding point before they reach the welder's face should be
given preference.
4. Avoid welding in a work area that has vapours from cleaning,
degreasing or any spraying operations. The heat and light from
welding can react with the vapour and form irritating or potentially toxic
gases. Wait for the vapours to disperse.
5. Consult the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for
instructions and precautions about metals, consumables, coatings,
cleaners and degreasers.
5.1 Do not weld on coated metals such as galvanized, lead or
cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the
weld area. The coatings and any metals containing these
elements can give off toxic fumes during the welding process.
5.2 Do not weld, cut or heat lead, zinc, cadmium, mercury, beryllium
or similar metals without seeking professional advice and
inspection of the welding area's ventilation. These metals
produce extreme toxic fumes, which can cause discomfort,
illness and death.
5.3 Do not weld or cut near chlorinated solvents or in areas that
chlorinates solvents can enter. The heat or ultraviolet light of
the arc can separate chlorinated hydrocarbons into a toxic gas
(phosgene) that can poison or suffocate the user or
bystanders.
