Oxygen/Fuel Cutting Guidelines source adapted from www. cteonline. org
Oxygen/ Fuel Cutting ØWelding and cutting operations use fire or combustion as a basic tool. The process is very useful when properly controlled. ØHowever, it can be extremely destructive if not performed correctly in the proper environment. ØThe work area must have a fireproof floor. ØWork benches or tables used during welding or cutting operations must have fireproof tops. source adapted from www. cteonline. org
Oxygen/ Fuel Cutting ØUse heat resistant shields or other approved material to protect nearby walls or unprotected flooring from sparks and hot metal. ØKeep an approved fire extinguisher of the proper size and type in the work area. Inspect it regularly to ensure that it is in proper working order. Know how to use the fire extinguisher. ØMove combustible materials away from the work site. If you can not move them, protect them with fireproof covers. source adapted from www. cteonline. org
Oxygen/Fuel Cutting WARNING! ØNever perform welding or cutting operations on a container that has held toxic, combustible or flammable liquids or vapors. ØNever perform welding or cutting operations in an area containing combustible vapors, flammable liquids, or explosive dust. source adapted from www. cteonline. org
Oxygen/Fuel Cutting ØGood housekeeping practices improve the safety of any work area. They are essential to the safety of welding and cutting operations due to the potential hazards involved. ØKeep all welding and cutting apparatus clean and free of grease, oil, and other flammable substances. source adapted from www. cteonline. org
Oxygen/Fuel Cutting Warning! ØNever allow oxygen to contact grease, oil, or other flammable substances. Although oxygen by itself will not burn, these substances become highly explosive. ØThey can ignite and burn violently in the presence of oxygen. source adapted from www. cteonline. org
Oxygen/Fuel Cutting ØVentilate welding and cutting work areas adequately. ØMaintain sufficient air flow to prevent accumulation of explosive or toxic concentrations of gases. ØWelding or cutting operations using certain combinations of metals, coatings, and gases generate toxic fumes. Use respiratory protection equipment in these circumstances. source adapted from www. cteonline. org
Oxygen/Fuel Cutting ØGas flames produce infrared radiation which may have a harmful effect on the skin and especially on the eyes. ØSelect goggles or a mask with tempered lenses shaded 5 or darker to protect your eyes from injury and provide good visibility of the work. source adapted from www. cteonline. org
Oxygen/Fuel Cutting ØWear flame resistant clothing, protective gloves, sleeves, aprons and safety shoes to protect skin and clothing from sparks and slag. ØKeep collars, sleeves and pockets buttoned. ØDO NOT roll up sleeves or cuff pants. source adapted from www. cteonline. org

Oxygen/ Acetylene Safety 1. This process can KILL you and others. Be sure to follow all safety rules. 2. Be sure to completely shut down the cutting torch when the job is completed. 3. Keep all oils and grease away from the regulators. When oxygen is compressed with a petrochemical, it becomes highly reactive and can explode. Imagine a 500 lb bomb exploding in front of you. Will there be any pieces to pick up? source adapted from www. cteonline. org
