19.Avoid overexposure to fumes and gases. Always keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. Use enough ventilation or exhaust, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general area.
•Where ventilation is questionable, have a qualified technician take an air sampling to determine the need for corrective measures. Use mechanical ventilation to improve air quality. If engineering controls are not feasible, use an approved respirator.
•Follow OSHA guidelines for Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL’s) for various fumes and gases.
•Follow the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists recommendations for Threshold Limit Values (TLV’s) for fumes and gases.
•Have a recognized specialist in Industrial Hygiene or Environmental Services check the operation
and air quality and make recommendations for the specific welding or cutting situation.
