Welding Safety DVD Outline of first few minutes of presentation.
The following outline summarizes the major points of information presented in the videotape program. The outline can be used to review the program before conducting a classroom session, as well as in preparing to lead a class discussion about the program.
- Every day, welders in various industries use high temperatures to shape metal.
- Sometimes the metal is bonded together.
- Other times it is cut apart.
- Over the years, engineers have developed a variety of welding methods, such as:
- Oxy-Fuel, a combination of a spark, oxygen and a flammable gas for cutting, welding and brazing.
- Arc Welding, using high voltage electricity alone or in tandem with various gases.
- All welding methods can be very hazardous because of the heat and the material involved.
- But no matter what type you use, there are ways to make your work safe.
- The first thing to do is to inspect your equipment. When working with an Oxy-Fuel unit:
- Make sure your torch has the right tip for the job at hand.
- Examine the cylinder valves and fittings before connecting the torch and hoses.
- Once everything is set up, apply a soap solution to check for gas leaks.
- Some problems can be solved by simply tightening the connection.
