Welding Safety 101

Welding can be a daunting process for those who have never done it before. Not only does welding require safety equipment and tools in San Jose , but it also requires knowledge of the proper safety procedures. Read this article to learn more about how to stay safe when welding.

Ensure that you have the proper protective equipment, such as a safety mask that covers your eyes and face, and protective clothing that is designed for welding. Your local equipment rental and sales company will probably have these items in stock. Having adequate ventilation is also important; otherwise harmful contaminants can build up. Before you begin welding, inspect the area thoroughly to be sure combustibles are at least 35 feet away, and that there is a fire extinguisher readily available.
