Welding and Cutting Safely

Welding involves joining two or more pieces of metal together to form a single piece.   Unlike welding processes which join two pieces of metal, cutting processes involve separating or severing a piece of metal through intense heat generated to melt the metal.

Many hazards are associated with welding and cutting safety , but as in any other operations they can be controlled by appropriate preventive measures. Unless these measures are taken, the hazardous situations can easily give rise to personnel injury and/or material damage.
