Updated Guide Written with Welders in Mind
Cleveland - The Lincoln Electric Company has released an updated Arc Welding Safety Guide (E205) aimed at explaining in a straightforward way the issues relating to arc welding safety, as well as recommended safe practices based upon practical experience.
The Arc Welding Safety guide incorporates recommended safe practices for the shop floor. Written with the welder in mind, topics covered include personal protective equipment, arc rays, noise, inspecting and maintaining for equipment and workplaces, handling gas cylinders, shock hazards, fire risks, fume and gas ventilation, and more.
