Precautions when welding
To prevent the risk of injury, the following precautions should be taken:
- Protective hood (face protection).
- Welder's mask.
- Protective gloves.
- Safety shoes.
- Extraction hood for welding gases.
Welding should always be carried out in a well-ventilated area. A fire extinguisher should always be within reach.
General safety rules for body repair
Exhaust system:
Sealant, underbody protection, etc. should not be burned off using an open flame. This will result in toxic gases being released. For example, when PVC burns, gases containing hydrochloric acid are released. For this reason, a suitable exhaust system should always be used when grinding, welding or soldering.
Always ensure good ventilation when working with materials containing solvents, use respiratory protection and suction equipment.
When cutting, grinding or straightening metal, always wear hearing protection as noise levels can reach or exceed 85 - 90 dB (A).
Do not look into the measuring device while it is operating and the laser beam is being used.
When removing items from a vehicle mounted on a lift, be careful of changes in the vehicle's center of gravity. When placing the vehicle on a lift for the first time, keep in mind that it may need to be secured to prevent it from tipping over.
During the straightening process, chains and chain clamps should be secured with safety cables.
