This means all arc welders using hand-held equipment are at risk of electric shock and electrical burns. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A safety risk assessment was conducted in the afore stated site (welding and construction site), several hazards were observed at the site, these hazards ranges from fire hazards (absence of fire extinguishers, fire alarm systems makes this case life threatening considering the facts that possible gas leaks were likely at . endobj
Most welding gases, including all the inert gases, have no smell. The welding risk assessment must take account of the type of welding, the material being welded, the welding gas used and the electrode or welding rod, in addition to the location, other welding activities, ventilation and the work practices of the welder. So, for any welding outdoors, you must provide suitable RPE and consider the protection of others nearby. There cannot be much progress in the national development without construction, particularly in developing countries where there is lack of infrastructure and other basic facilities. The HSE publication Controlling airborne contaminants at work gives guidance on planning, designing, commissioning and testing effective LEV. If possible, use dark-coloured wall coating to reduce reflections. Welding gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and helium can displace the air inside enclosed spaces. You will simply pass out. endobj
Eye protection is required to safeguard against splatter. welding process, volume of work and level of fume generated, metal being welded (mild steel, stainless etc), consumable being used in the welding process, mechanical fasteners (bolts, rivets etc. Inert gases and some common chemical reactions (for example rusting) can reduce the amount of oxygen inside enclosed spaces such as tanks, pipes and pits. A leak of acetylene gas in to the back of a van can cause a serious explosion. 2 0 obj

ACTIVITY: Palletised Bricks - Storage and Stacking. There is more guidance on maintaining electrical equipment on HSE's maintaining electrical equipment safety web page and in the HSE publication Maintaining portable and transportable electrical equipment. The Welding processes code of practice 2021 (PDF, 0.96 MB) outlines requirements for specific situations where welding is done, such as working in confined spaces (PDF, 1.45 MB) For workers As a worker, you must take reasonable care for your own health and safety and make sure your work doesn't impact on the health and safety of others. By not accepting cookies some elements of the site, such as video, will not work. Welders should wear clean, dry welding gloves and overalls. vii. iv. 3 3 2 3 2 3 16 Welding machine not to be used while standing in the water. Hazards associated with working at height. You should have an RPE management programme which includes: The HSE publication Respiratory protective equipment at work gives more guidance. The videos above illustrate what good control looks like when LEV is used to control exposure. You may need to plan the return path carefully to minimise risk. If you are in control of operations where there is a need to: you may need to provide an insulating mat or some other dry platform, so welders are not in direct contact with wet or conductive surfaces. You cannot rely on LEV to effectively capture welding fume at outdoor operations. Radiation hazards which are usually visual hazards ii. The risk for MIG/ MAG and TIG welding is much less, as the welding current is normally switched on and off using the trigger or foot switch. Stray welding currents are electrical currents that return to the welding set by paths other than along the welding return cable. ), or, adhesives (such techniques are under continuous development), using a consumable that produces less fume, using a welding process that produces less fume, making sure the metal has been properly cleaned and prepared, automating or mechanising the process or job, using other engineering controls such as LEV, a stock of spare parts for example, batteries and filters , compatibility with other personal protective equipment (PPE) you have provided for the task, for example a welding visor, effective general ventilation provides rapid fume clearance and a through draught to ensure that fume generated from welding is dispersed and removed. If there is no need to see the person welding or for screening in between welding bays, darker or opaque screens and curtains should be used. Workers operating automated or mechanised welding machines or other workers nearby are unlikely to need RPE if: It may not be possible to have an LEV system in robotic cells capable of capturing all the fume. Enter the email address you signed up with and we'll email you a reset link. Many of the risks an onsite welder will face are the same as other industrial workers (for example working at height, lifting and slinging, manual handling). If so, you should consider a soldiering career. If the inert gas has only partially replaced the air, you may feel very weak, tired and confused. This means that suitable curtains may be available in a variety of colours and levels of 'darkness'. Do you get the welding? The BOHS Selector Tool will help you select the right LEV for your workplace. On-torch extraction can be very effective for MIG welding, and you should assess if it is useful for your task. CONTROL MEASURES. Follow the guidance in SLIC Guidance for National Labour Inspectors on addressing health risks from Welding Fume to reduce the need for welding and to reduce the generation of welding fume for example, The specific controls for the welding task depends on the following (they should be documented in your risk assessment). Interim Butt Weld Safety Assessment - MRP-44, Part 1 Appendix C: Welding Residual Stress Analysis Welding residual stress analyses performed for VC Summer and Ringhals nozzle-to-pipe butt welds Analyses show that hoop stresses exceed axial stresses under most conditions Axial stresses can exceed hoop stresses locally If no to above, has the risk assessment (undertaken in accordance with MHSAW) adequately addressed the risks associated with confined spaces, gases given off (e.g. vii. Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) which suits the work activityfor example,moveable extraction arms (elephant trunks) are unlikely to be suitable for a continuous weld on a large workpieces etc. To browse Academia.edu and the wider internet faster and more securely, please take a few seconds toupgrade your browser.

Some welding equipment suppliers may refer to this as EN ISO 25980. This assessment provides a baseline for implementing solutions for identified risks and establishing appropriate welding safety training.

If you are going to weld or flame cut drums and tanks, empty and clean the inside of the tank or drum first to prevent the risk from fire and explosion. Welding risk assessment iosh. A precautionary approach is advised to control welding fume exposures to the lowest levels practicable. Welding machine not to be left unsupervised. Postural fatigue viii.

Building construction projects form a bulk of construction projects in Ethiopia and are paramount in the areas of housing, business and public undertakings. Flame-retardant, heavy canvas screens are very common, but many people prefer to be able to see if someone is welding inside.

This means all arc welders using hand-held equipment are at risk of electric shock and electrical burns. For example, a car mechanic wearing RPE with good general ventilation in the workplace, carrying out an occasional short welding job on a car with a broken exhaust support bracket, would meet the minimum requirement for compliance.
