Do not cut or gouge tanks, drums or containers until the prop- er steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been “cleaned.” For information purchase “Recommended Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society (see address above). 4.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or gouging. They may explode. 4.f. Do nor fuel engine driven equipment near area where plasma cutting or gouging. forming or observing plasma arc cutting or PLASMA CUTTING or GOUGING can be hazardous. FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous. 3.a. Plasma cutting or gouging may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.When cutting or gouging, keep your head out of the fumes. Use enough ventila- tion and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When cutting or gouging on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes keep expo- sure as low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV) using local exhaust or mechanical ventila- tion. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, out- doors, a respirator may be required. Additional precau- tions are also required when welding on galvanized steel. 3.b. Do not use plasma arc cutting or gouging in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products. 3.c. Gases used for plasma cutting and gouging can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe. 3.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employ- er’s safety practices. tact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard. 4.d.
