2.3 Other hazards
Electrical shock can kill. If welding must be performed in damp locations or with wet clothing, on metal structures or when in cramped position such as sitting, kneeling or lying, or if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with work piece, use the following equipment: semiautomatic DC Welder, DC Manual (Stick) Welder, or AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control. Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammable materials. Overexposure to welding fumes and gases can be hazardous. Thorium, present at approximately 2 %, is very slightly radioactive. Emissions are reported to be less than cut-off value for classification.
