The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases. a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe. Do not weld cadmium on coated plated steel, metals, such as unless the weld area, the area is well coating galvanized, lead, or is removed from the ventilated, and if necessary, while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded. 4. Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode.

While most of this work is of very high quality, the results are complex. Current scientific understanding does not yet allow us to interpret the evidence in a single coherent framework. Even more frustrating, it does not yet allow us to draw definite conclusions about questions of possible risk or to offer clear science-based advice on strategies to minimize or avoid potential risks. procedures: magnetic fields in the workplace, 1.
