General Welding and Cutting Controls Welding and cutting operations should be restricted to workers who have been properly trained. Permits are required for all welding and cutting operations. Permits are obtained from Farmingdale State Physical Plant Whenever possible, hot work should be performed in a properly designed shop area equipped with all necessary controls and adequate ventilation. Combustible materials, such as building construction materials or other building contents, must be located at least 35 feet from the hot work area or properly protected to prevent hot sparks from contacting them. Floors within this area must also be swept clean of all combustible materials. All openings in floors and wall within 35 feet of the hot work area must be covered to prevent hot sparks from entering walls or falling beneath floors or to a lower level. Hot work should not be conducted in the presence of explosive mixtures of flammable gases, vapors, liquids, or dusts or where explosive mixtures could develop inside improperly prepared tanks or equipment. Atmospheric testing and monitoring for combustible gases and vapors should be conducted before work begins and at predetermined intervals thereafter. Fire resistant curtains and tinted shields should be used to prevent fire, employee burns, and ultra-violet light exposure. Self explanatory Personal protective equipment specifically designed for hot work should be provided to and used by workers. Potential for material being worked on or surface coatings to emit toxic fumes should be considered. A fire extinguisher rated at not less than 2-A:20-B:C must be available in shop areas where hot work is performed. A fire extinguisher rated at not less than 2-A:10-B:C must be attached to all portable welding carts. The buildings sprinkler system, if so equipped, must be operational before hot work can begin. A person other than the operator should perform fire watch duties and should remain at the worksite for at least 30 minutes after hot work operations have ended. The written hot work permit checklist is for operators and helps minimize the risk of fire from such activities. Contact Physical Plant for permit or additional guidance in establishing a hot work program. YNNACOMMENTSB.

TrainingWorkers trained in use of welding and cutting equipment, material hazards, and control methodsPersonal protective equipment training providedConfined space entry training provided, where necessary B. Welding or Cutting in Confined Spaces Consult Physical Plant before working in a confined space. When working in poorly ventilated spaces, exposure to air contaminants generated by welding or cutting must be controlled by ventilation, respiratory protection, or a combination of the two. Gas cylinders and welding machines must be left outside the space when work is performed in spaces such as boilers, tanks, or pressure vessels. Heavy portable equipment mounted on wheels must be securely blocked to prevent movement. A substantial period of time can be defined as lunch breaks or longer. Procedures are spelled out in the model confined space program available through EHS. A written hot work permit should be used for all hot work operations. Sample permits are available through EHS. C. Compressed Gas Cylinders Except when in use, oxygen and fuel gas cylinders must be stored separately, at least 20 feet apart or separated by a noncombustible wall at least 5 feet high. Many regulators are similar in design and construction. Ensure that regulators are designed for the cylinder used by checking the manufacturers model number and comparing that with the gas suppliers requirements. Self explanatory Cylinders should always be secured in an upright position. Information is available through EHS on methods for securing cylinders. Self explanatory D. Training Workers should be trained in proper equipment operation, handling and storage of welding materials, compressed gas safety, chemical hazards, and in working procedures including the written hot work permit. Assistance in employee training is available through EHS. Workers must receive training on personal protective equipment selection and use. Documentation of the training must be maintained. Sample forms and general training are available through EHS. Workers must receive training before working in confined spaces. General training is available through EHS.
