| Question | Yes | No | N/A | Risk assessment: | Risk description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | Medium | High | |||||
| 1. Is the welding gun easy to grip, e.g. does it fit well in the hand and is it easy to handle? |
| ||||||
| 2. Are all welding torches equipped with a check valve between the welding handle and hose for fuel gas and oxygen, as well as a flashback arrestor when connecting the hose? |
| ||||||
| 3. If gas welding occurs, what safety measures should be taken? | |||||||
| a) Are the gas cylinders placed in racks or gas carts during work? |
| ||||||
| b) Are gas pipelines marked to prevent confusion between oxygen and fuel gas? |
| ||||||
| c) Are the tightness of fuel and oxygen hoses and fittings regularly checked? |
| ||||||
| 4. If tools are used, such as a slag hoe, hand chopper, or grinder. | |||||||
| a) Are there silent and low-vibration pneumatic slag hoes available and used, or hand hoe instead of pneumatic slag hoe (Knarren)? |
| ||||||
| b) Is there a vibration-damped sander available, and is there a vibration-damped support handle that also has a vibration-damped support handle? |
| ||||||
| c) Do pneumatic grinders have silencers for the bleed? |
| ||||||
| 5. When purchasing machines, tools, and other equipment that generate noise and vibration, are the machines that generate the least noise and vibration chosen? |
| ||||||
| 6. Does the protective clothing fully cover the skin to protect it from UV radiation from the arc? |
| ||||||
| 7. Are the clothes airy enough to prevent overheating from heat radiation? |
| ||||||
| 8. Is the protective equipment individually tested to ensure that each welder has equipment that fits? |
| ||||||
| 9. Does a self-darkening welding visor help reduce strain on the neck? |
| ||||||
| 10. Is the protective clothing made of flammable material? (Note: CE marked and intended for welding.) |
| ||||||
| 11. Is the protective clothing designed so that welding spray cannot penetrate shoes, pockets or sleeves? |
| ||||||
| 12. If a welder wears glasses, should they avoid using reading glasses when welding? (As they may cause the welder to get too close to the welding plume.) |
| ||||||
| 13. Has a doctor been consulted if any welder has a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump, or other implant? (risk of disturbing the function of the implants.) |
