returned to suppliers. Cylinders shall be moved only on specially designed

trolleys or baskets. They shall be kept upright. Cylinders shall be supported

by and chained to a rack or structure at the point of use.

Oxygen cylinders and their regulators must never come into contact

with oil or grease to avoid explosion hazard.

All gas cylinders must be fitted with a suitable regulator before use. Before

fitting the regulator make sure that there is no dirt in the valve or

connection.

Empty cylinders shall be stored with their valve closed and valve protection

cap fitted.

A valve key shall be chained to the rack where cylinders are used at fixed

points. Where cylinders are moved around the valve key shall be chained

to the trolley or the cylinder.

The gas valve shall be opened slowly and carefully. The connections shall

be checked for leaks as soon as it is up to full pressure.

Cylinders containing ACETYLENE require careful handling as the gas is

dissolved in solvent. Acetylene is an unstable chemical which shall easily

explode. Cylinder pressures are low, if the pressure exceeds 17 kg/cm² do

not put the cylinder into service. Flash back arrestors shall be used on hose

connections.

Cylinders of gas shall not be taken into confined spaces. If cutting or

burning is to be done inside a vessel the cylinders shall be stored outside

the vessel. Hoses shall be withdrawn from the vessel at the end of each

working period.

Hoses shall be regularly inspected to prove them to be in good condition.

Regulators

Regulators shall be used only for the type of gas indicated by the supplier

and shall be of the correct pressure rating for the gas supply.

Regulators used on gases used for process, maintenance or laboratory

purposes shall be overhauled and tested every 2 years. This work shall be carried

out by the supplier or an approved maintenance company. The date of the

next test shall be engraved on a label on the regulator.

Do not allow oil or grease to be on regulators used on oxygen. Do not use

brass or copper materials on regulators which are to be used on acetylene.

Regulators which are connected to chromatographys shall be oil, grease and

water free. These regulators shall have an engraved label saying "No oil, grease

or water" as appropriate.

Details of all regulators shall be kept by the maintenance organization and recall

for testing notices issued at the appropriate time. Spare regulators shall be kept

by the maintenance organization for issue to replace regulators due for testing.

General Safety Requirements:

Wear protective clothing, gauntlets and eye protection;

Shut off the blowpipe when not in use. Do not leave a lighted blowpipe on a

bench or the floor as the force of the flame may cause it to move;

Clamp the work-piece, do not hold it by hand;

Keep hoses away from the working area to prevent contact with flames,

heat, sparks or hot spatter;

To prevent fire:

Move the work-piece to a safe location for carrying out the hot work process;

Remove any combustible materials (such as flammable liquids, wood, paper,

textiles, packaging or plastics) from within about 10metre of the work;

Ventilate spaces where vapors could accumulate, such as vehicle pits or trenches;

Protect any combustible materials that cannot be moved, from close contact

with flame, heat, sparks or hot slag. Use suitable guards or covers such as metal

sheeting, mineral fiber boards or fire retardant blankets;

Use guards or covers to prevent hot particles passing through openings in

floors and walls (doorways, windows, etc);

Maintain a continuous fire watch during the period of the work, and for at least

an hour afterwards; Keep fire extinguishers nearby.

To prevent leaks:

Keep hoses clear of sharp edges and abrasive surfaces or where

vehicles can run over them; Do not allow hot metal or spatter to fall on

hoses;

Handle cylinders carefully. Keep them in an upright position and fasten

them to prevent them from falling or being knocked over. For example,

chain them in a wheeled trolley or against a wall;

Always turn the gas supply off at the cylinder when the

job is finished; Maintain all equipment and keep in good

condition;

Regularly check all connections and equipment for

faults and leaks. Always provide adequate ventilation

during welding and cutting operations; Store gas

cylinders outside whenever possible or in a well-

ventilated place; Avoid taking gas cylinders into poorly

ventilated rooms or confined spaces.

Never allow oil or grease to come into contact

with oxygen valves or cylinder fittings;

Never use oxygen with equipment not designed for it. In particular, check

that the regulator is safe for oxygen and for the cylinder pressure.

Backfire

A backfire is when the flame burns back into the blowpipe often with a

sharp bang. This may happen when the blowpipe is held too close to the

work piece, or if the nozzle is blocked or partly blocked. The flame may

go out or it may re-ignite at the nozzle. Sometimes the flame burns back

into the blowpipe, and burning continues at the mixing.

To prevent flashbacks:

Use the correct lighting up procedure. Purge the hoses before lighting the

blowpipe to remove any potentially explosive gas mixtures. Use a spark

igniter and ignite the gas quickly after turning it on; Ensure the blowpipe is

fitted with spring-loaded flash back arrestors to prevent a backflow of gas

into the hoses;

Use the correct gas pressures and nozzle size

for the job. Maintain the equipment in good

condition.

Arc Welding

The frame or case of the welder shall be properly grounded.

A safety-type disconnecting switch or controller shall be located near the

machine.

The welder or welders shall be protected by a properly sized fuse or circuit

Hand guard shall be used while doing welding work.

Toxic Fumes

The inhalation of metal oxides in excess of recommended safe levels

can produce a temporary fever known as metal fume fever. It is a

temporary illness, which passes off within a few hours. However,

inhalation of high concentrations of metal oxides may cause prolonged

fever, permanent

impairment or even death. Fumes containing lead, cadmium, manganese,

antimony and copper are particularly toxic and require special care.

Welding on painted or contaminated metal can also give rise to toxic fumes.

Adequate ventilation must be provided to protect the welder. Local fume

extraction ducts positioned to remove fumes from the welders breathing zone

shall be normally used in workshops. Forced ventilation shall be considered for

tented areas to remove dangerous fumes. The welding specification for each

job shall state the required method of ventilation to be provided.

Welding in confined Space

When welding or cutting is to be carried out in a confined space the following

additional precautions shall be taken.

The confined space must have been cleaned and tested

gas free. Adequate ventilation must be provided.

Equipment to continuously measure the oxygen content of the atmosphere

shall be placed in the confined space.

The equipment shall give an audible warning if the oxygen becomes depleted.

Consideration shall be given to the use of breathing apparatus by people

working inside the confined space.

All gas cylinders must be kept outside the confined space.

Electrical Hazards

The human body is unlikely to be harmed under normal dry conditions by

voltages of 110 for direct current and 42 for alternating current. Because voltage

surges can occur under no-load conditions with AC welding machine and also

the chance of inferior spots in the weld known as start porosity it is

recommended that direct current welding is used throughout the refinery.

Voltages shall be kept to the minimum required to perform the task. The return

cable shall be clamped to the work-piece close to the weld location. The

clamp shall be clean and rust free and shall be bolted firmly in place.

The cables shall be inspected before use to ensure that the insulation is in

good condition. Any bare conductor could result in sparks occurring in a

hazardous area. This can result in a serious fire or explosion.

Cables shall not be in contact with or near to wires on cranes, derricks,

winches and guy wires to stacks to avoid damage to these installed items.

Welding shall not be carried out on plant equipment suspended from a

crane in view of the hazard of stray currents causing damage to the crane

lifting wires.

conditions.

They shall be made of soft materials (e.g., copper / berylium) so that

particles can become embedded in them. If steel, granite or aluminium

is embedded then it is possible to create high energy sparks.

they have poor mechanical strength, can become deformed, and can

therefore create other hazards. The impact of steel on steel cannot

produce sparks with sufficient energy to ignite hydrocarbon/air mixtures.

However, ignition is possible in hydrogen/air mixtures and in mixtures

enriched by oxygen. If these mixtures cannot be avoided the use of

water to keep surfaces wet shall eliminate sparking problems.

Air Operated Tools

Air operated tools require a hot work permit when used in a hazardous area.

All pneumatic tools shall have a fail-safe device such that the machine

stops automatically when the operator releases his hold.
