commencement of work. Disposable heavy duty plastic gloves should be worn at all times, and the affected area washed down using wire wool and Welding Welding processes include Resistance Welding (Spot Welding), Arc Welding and Gas Welding. Resistance Welding This process may cause particles of molten metal to be emitted at a high velocity, and the eyes and skin must be Arc Welding This process emits a high level of ultra-violet radiation which may cause arc-eye and skin burns to the operator and to CONTACT LENS WEARERS ARE ADVISED TO REVERT TO ORDINARY SPECTACLES W HEN ARC W ELDING as the arc spectrum Metal spatter will also occur, and appropriate eye and skin protection is necessary. The heat of the welding arc will produce fumes and gases from the metals being welded, the rods and from any applied CAUTION: Some of the components installed to the vehicle e.g. the interior cross beam and underbonnet cross member are manufactured from magnesium alloy. On no account should any welding operations be attempted on these Gas Welding (and Cutting) Oxy-acetylene torches may be used for welding and cutting, and special care must be taken to prevent leakage of these The process will produce metal spatter and eye and skin protection is necessary. The flame is bright, and eye protection should be used, but the ultra-violet emission is much less than that from arc The process itself produces few toxic fumes, but such fumes and gases may be produced from coatings on the work, In brazing, toxic fumes may be produced from the metals in the brazing rod, and a severe hazard may arise if brazing rods SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE ANY WELDING OR CUTTING TAKES PLACE ON VESSELS WHICH Warning Symbols on Vehicles Decals showing warning symbols will be found on various vehicle components. These decals must not be removed. The warnings are for the attention of owners/operators and persons carrying out |
