      Safety

      HQA Wire Products strongly recommends exercising safe welding practices to protect yourself and others. Electric shock can be dangerous and can kill. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin.

      Safe Welding Practice include but are not limited to:

      • Do not permit electrically live parts or electrodes to contact skin.
      • Do not allow contact with clothing or gloves if they are wet.
      • Insulate yourself from work and ground.
      • Keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general area.
      • Keep your head out of fumes.
      • Use enough ventilation for exhaust and arc or both.
      • Wear adequate eye, ear, and bodily protection.
