Welding and cutting operations use fire or combustion as a basic tool. The
process is very useful when properly controlled. However, it can be extremely
destructive if not performed correctly in the proper environment.
1. The work area must have a fireproof floor.
2. Work benches or tables used during welding or cutting operations
must have fireproof tops.
3. Use heat resistant shields or other approved material to protect
nearby walls or unprotected flooring from sparks and hot metal.
4. Keep an approved fire extinguisher of the proper size and type
in the work area. Inspect it regularly to ensure that it is in proper
working order. Know how to use the fire extinguisher.
