Ventilation: 

Ventilation What practice should be followed regarding ventilation during any welding operation? All welding should be done in a well ventilated area

Ventilation:

What is the significance of having each welding booth equipped with a power disconnect?: 

What is the significance of having each welding booth equipped with a power disconnect? Incase of an emergency or a malfunction the power can be shut down quickly.

Why should a welding machine never be overloaded?: 

Why should a welding machine never be overloaded? Overloading the machine can cause overheating and damage the welding machine. This may also cause damage to the transformer.

Why should the range and polarity switch never be operated when the machine is under a load?: 

Why should the range and polarity switch never be operated when the machine is under a load? Switching the current while the machine is under a load will cause an arc between the contacts and weld the contacts together. Range Polarity

Matches and Cigarette Lighters: 

Matches and Cigarette Lighters Cigarette lighters will leak gas into your pocket causing an explosion that could be fatal! Sparks can ignite matches in your pocket causing a serious burn!

Ultraviolet Light: 

Ultraviolet Light Most Dangerous Light Causes Flash Burns to the eyes in seconds Can’t see it or feel it

Infrared Light:

Material Safety Data Sheet: 

Material Safety Data Sheet A list of the hazardous materials in a product being used, like a welding rod. Helps us identify the proper PPE and ventilation that should be used during a welding process. Can also be used if you are involved in an accident with chemicals so doctors will know how to treat your injury.

Fire Extinguishers: 

Fire Extinguishers TYPE “A” Used on a wood, paper or trash fire TYPE “B” Used on a fire that contained gasoline, paint or other flammable liquid.
