Welding, Cutting and Brazing

Welding, cutting and brazing are common activities at many jobsites in many industries. These operations fall under the term "hot work," which refers to any work involving open flames, sparks or molten metal. Because hot work is such a common activity, sometimes people forget about the dangers. Welding involves high temperatures and the potential for fire and explosion. There are also health hazards associated with the welding and cutting of various metal surfaces, such as galvanized metal, lead-painted surfaces, cadmium and the like.
