| Abstract |
An introduction on safety precautions in welding is followed by sections devoted to: airborne pollutants (dustfall; particulate fume; gases); responsibility of management and workers (Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974); sampling of workplace fume concentrations; control of welding fume (general and local exhaust ventilation; fume-extractor welding gun; dust respirator; air-fed welding helmet; self-contained breathing apparatus); hazardous metals; flame processes, manual metal-arc welding, MIG-welding, cored electrode processes (flux-cored wires) (typical fumes and gases; pollutants; precautions); submerged-arc welding; air-arc gouging; welding or cutting coated steels (types of coating; degreasing solvents; precautions; removal of coatings); other processes. There are 3 appendices giving: United Kingdom Factory Inspectorate requirements; TLVs; and extracts from American National Standard ANSI Z49-1-1973 concerning ventilation during welding (in use until a British standard is available on the subject). |
