5.Store idle equipment. When not in use, helmets must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always lock up helmets and keep out of reach of children.

6.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts. Protective gear is essential to protect against welding rays, some examples are: a leather welding apron, welding sleeves, jeans without cuffs, work boots. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

7.Use eye and ear protection.

When welding, wear ANSI- approved impact safety goggles under the Welding

Helmet. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator and hearing protection when welding.

8.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not weld when you are tired.

9.Check for damaged parts. Before using any helmet, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the helmet if any switch does not operate properly.
