Personal Protective Equipment
• Personnel includes workers and their immediate supervisors. Refer to appropriate local
standards/regulations on protective clothing and equipment.
• Welding equipment, machines, cable, and other apparatus must be located so that it does not
present a hazard to personnel.

applicable protective devices shall be worn.
• Eye and face protection must comply with ANSI Z87.1, Occupational and Educational Personal
Eye and Face Protection Devices. Persons with special eye conditions should consult their
physician for specific information on protective equipment.
• Appropriate protective clothing for any welding and cutting operation will vary with the size,
nature, and location of the work to be performed. Clothing must be kept clean, as oil and grease
can reduce its protective qualities.
• Suitable eye, face, and body protection must be worn by operators when cleaning assemblies
with any solvent, including tap water.
• Gloves must be worn to prevent injury from acidic or caustic residues generated in the cleaning
agent as well as the possible ingestion of metals rubbed o joints and base material.
• Gloves made of leather, rubber, or other suitable materials are recommended. Insulating linings
should be used to protect areas exposed to high radiant energy.
Hazard Prevention
