7.1 Preparation

7.1.1 Use of protective equipment
To protect you and other people from gases, fumes and lack of oxygen that may be
generated during the welding operation, make sure to prepare ventilation facilities and
use protective equipment, etc.

Welding operations in narrow spaces may cause asphyxia due to lack of oxygen.

Prepare ventilation facilities to prevent the inhalation of gases and fumes generated during the welding operation.
Otherwise, wear a respirator.
To protect you and other people from arc light, flying spat-
ters, slag, and arc noises generated by welding, use pro-
tective equipment.

Wear leather gloves and safety shoes to protect the exposed parts of your eyes
and skin.

Prepare light-shielding glasses or a welding face-shield with a light-shielding fil-
ter plate appropriate to the applied welding current.
