This folder contains 41 Safety and Health Fact Sheets from the American Welding Society.
This document outlines the standard procedures, initial safety checks and operational guidelines for using an angle grinder when welding.
This document outlines the standard procedures, pre-operational safety checks and operational safety checks when arc welding.
This document outlines the safety procedures and gives a detailed diagram of the Millermatic 200 welder.
The use of welding products and equipment in the welding process causes emission of fumes. Many, if not most, of these fumes contain manganese. A small amount of manganese is necessary for the human body to remain healthy. However, too much manganese can cause serious medical problems.
These two documents explain, in detail, the signs and symptoms of the exposure of too much manganese in welding. The toxicity of manganese causes a progressive condition, referred to as Manganism (also known as manganese poisoning, maganese-induced parkinsonism, and manganese intoxication).
This document outlines the safety procedures, diagrams and other important operating tips for using the Powermax 45 Plasma Cutter.
The following document has question and answers referring to:
Hazards of Electric Shock
Primary Electric Shock
Secondary Electric Shock

This document outlines the safety considerations necessary for welding on containers that may have previously contained flammable or combustible materials.
This standard covers all aspects of safety and health in the welding environment, emphasizing oxygen gas and arc welding processes with some coverage given to resistance welding. It contains information on protection of personnel and the general area, ventilation, fire prevention and protection, and confined spaces. A significant section is devoted to precautionary information, showing examples, and an extensive bibliography is included.
Included are files related to the outcomes and modules related to teaching Welding 10 as well as ones containing information on:
Developing a Safety Plan for the Welding Shop
Reporting an Incident and Incident Reporting Procedures
