Abstract |
Every type of arc welding causes large quantities of gases and aerosols to be given off. This article describes, with illustrations, a number of practical measures to eliminate this hazard and to keep the exposure of workers within tolerable limits: general ventilation of premises where welding is carried on; local exhaust ventilation of fumes in a welding booth, over a welding bench, on jobs involving the welding of large-dimension parts, and in confined spaces; combined local exhaust and general ventilation; helmet with built-in air supply; special local exhaust ventilation devices for gas-shielded arc welding. |
