Safety rules for welding

When welding, always protect against burns, welding spatter, and welding fumes.

Therefore, always remember when welding:

To use protective gloves and possibly an apron, a welding helmet or welding goggles.
To establish extraction for welding fumes, so that toxic gases are not inhaled.
To remove flammable substances and materials from the welding site.
To clean the surface coating such as oil, paint, metallization and other protective substances from the welding surface.

When welding in and on containers, to ventilate and clean them and check for any gases before welding begins. Even small liquid residues and dried paint can emit explosive fumes when exposed to heat.

FH Contractors' guidelines set minimum standards for safety regulations, unless otherwise specified in writing. Local safety requirements from other companies that relate to your work must take precedence over FH Contractors' guidelines.

You must always comply with the laws of the country in which you are working. Violation may result in repatriation. Alcohol and drugs are prohibited in the workplace, as is intoxication or impairment. Abuse will result in immediate dismissal at your own expense.

Remember, safety always comes first!

These guidelines constitute the foundation for health, environment, safety, and quality at FH Contractors. By adhering to them, you contribute to our common goal of maintaining a high level of safety in the workplace, which protects both people, the environment, and equipment.
