Control Measures

 Valid hot works permit.

 Hot works permit for a shift only. Next shift, next permit in case of night shift.
 Confined space permit for work inside confined space along with hot work permit.
 Only competent and authorised personnel are permitted to carry out welding work.
 Must have fire watch for period after work has been completed as fires often start later.
 Fire resisting sheets (fire blankets) should be used to protect the surroundings from flame and spotter.
 Appropriate PPE will used when welding – gauntlets, welding shield, flame retardant overalls. Leather sleeves shoulder
drapes are to be use when welding upwards.
 Equipment will be well maintained and inspected as per manufacturer’s recommendations.
 Welding works will be carried out in well ventilation may be required.
 Grinder must be 110v only complying with current colour coding system. Visual checks before use.
 Extra ventilation, fans required to reduce the likelihood of heats stress and occurrence.
 Reduce time exposure should be considered especially during summer months.
 Prolonged welding operations to be shielded from the sighting of adjacent operatives to reduce the risk of ‘arc-eye’.
 If welding operations are being undertaken on coated metals, air sampling should be carried out and consideration given
to the use of respirators of this work. Oxygen / Acetylene hoses, gauges should be checked regularly to avoid any
leakages.
 Flash back arrestors should be fitted on every gas cylinders sets.
 If conducting welding works near hazardous area, it must be covered / isolated properly to avoid flux falling on the
hazardous materials.

 Check environment for space constraints, uneven untidy ground and variation in work, surface/height poor lighting and
extremes of temperature/humidity.
 Check individuals strength limits/physical disabilities.
 Display appropriate warning sign
 DSTI’s
 Ensure adequate rest periods/recovery periods are followed between lifts/activities.
 Access the load prior to lifting
 Use gloves that offer adequate protection and aid grip.
 Proper: lifting techniques will be followed:
1)Position in front of the load with legs balanced and spread equal to shoulder width
2) Bend the knees to reach the bottom of the load to get a grip; do not bend the spine.
3)Lift load slowly by gradually straightening the legs
4)Do not twist spine if you need to change direction; turn whole body instead.
5) Carry the load as close to your body and as high as your weight.

Control Measures

 Valid hot works permit.

 Hot works permit for a shift only. Next shift next permit in case of night shift.
 Only competent and authorised personnel are permitted to carry out welding work.
 Consider fire watch for period after work has been completed as fires often start later.
 Fire resisting sheets (fire blankets) should be used to protect the surroundings from flame and spatter.
 Appropriate PPE will be used when welding – gauntlets, welding shield, flame retardant overalls. Leather sleeves,
shoulder drapes are to be used when welding upwards.
 Equipment will be well maintained and inspected as per manufacturer’s recommendations.
 Welding works will be carried out in well ventilated locations when possible. If not forced ventilation may be required.
 Grinder must be 110v only complying to current colour coding system. Visual checks before use.
 Extra ventilation should be introduced to reduce the likelihood of heat stress occurrence.
 Reduced time exposure should be considered especially during summer months.
 Prolonged welding operations to be shielded from the sightline of adjacent operatives to reduce the risk of ‘arc-eye’.
Plywood boards may be used.
 If welding operations are being undertaken on coated metals, air sampling should be carried out and consideration given
to the use of respirators for this work.
 If conducting welding works near hazardous area, it must be covered/ isolated properly to avoid flux falling on the
hazardous materials.
