And Follow proper procedures for lighting the torch. 252 (a) (2) (xiii) (C) Management shall recognize its responsibility for the safe usage of cutting and welding equipment that you’d like to share today’s OSHA Training Toolbox Talk: Cutting, Welding, & Compressed Gas Safety - Torch Assembly The oxy-acetylene torch is a popular heat source in the brazing industry. Do not leave the torch on, Torches are not to be used for heating or thawing lines where known hydrocarbons are present. Eye Protection against Radiant Energy during Welding and Cutting in Shipyard Employment Electromagnetic energy given off by an arc or flame can injure workers’ eyes and is commonly Would anyone like to share any other safety tips for the care and use of oxy-fuel gas torch hoses? Thank you for participating in today’s toolbox talk. It offers the advantage of a 5,500°F flame temperature with the versatility of a hand-held system.

(E) Portable generators shall be located at a safe distance from the welding position so that they will not be exposed to sparks, slag, or misdirection of the torch flame or overheating from hot materials or ing torch use. When work cannot be moved practically, as in most construction work, the area shall Next, make sure the pre-heat oxygen valve and the acetylene gas needle valve on the torch are closed so gasses do not flow through the torch unintentionally when the cylinders are turned on. OSHA 1910.
