Trainer's Note: It is important to weld using safety precautions. There are many dangers related to welding. During the training session have personal protective equipment available to show and for employees to try on. Background Arc welding includes shielded metal-arc, gas shielded and resistance welding. Since arc welding equip- ment varies in size and type, it is important to read and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. General Arc Welding Safety: • Before starting any arc welding operation, a complete inspection of the welder should be made. • Read all warning labels and instructions manuals. • Remove all potential fire hazards from the welding area. • Always have a fire extinguisher ready for immediate use. • Equip welding machines with power disconnect switches which can be shut off quickly. • The power to the machine should be disconnected before making repairs. • Proper grounding of welding machines is essential. • Electrode holders should not be used if they have loose cable connections, defective jaws, or poor insulation. • An arc should not be struck if someone without proper eye protection is nearby. Personal Protective Equipment: • Infrared radiation is a cause of retinal burning and cataracts. Protect your eyes and face with a welding helmet properly fitted and with the proper grade of filter plate. • Protect your body from welding spatter and arc flash with protective clothing. Such as: • Woolen clothing • Flame-proof apron • Gloves • Properly fitted clothing that is not frayed or worn. • Shirts should have long sleeves. • Trousers should be straight-legged and covering shoes when arc welding. • Fire resistant cape or shoulder covers are needed for overhead work. • Check protective clothing equipment before each use to make sure it is in good condition. • Keep clothes free of grease and oil. Proper Ventilation Be sure there is adequate ventilation available when welding in confined areas or where there are barriers to air movement. Natural drafts, fans and positioning of the head can help keep fumes away from the welder's face. Ventilation is sufficient if: • The room or welding area contains at least 10,000 cubic feet for each welder. • The ceiling height is not less than 16 feet. • Cross ventilation is not blocked by partitions, equipment, or other structural barriers. • Welding is not done in a confined space. **If these space requirements are not met then the area needs to be equipped with mechanical ventilating equipment that exhausts at least 2000 cfm of air for each welder, except where local exhaust hoods or booths, or air-line respirators are used. Avoiding Electrical Shock Electrical shock can kill. To prevent electrical shock: • Use well insulated electrode holders and cables. • Make sure welding cables are dry and free of grease and oil. • Keep welding cables away from power supply cables. • Wear dry hole-free gloves. • Clothing should also be dry. • Insulate the welder from the ground by using dry insulation, such as a rubber mat or dry wood. • Ground frames of welding units. • Never change electrodes with bare hands or wet gloves. Review The Following Points • Proper personal protective equipment is important. • Electrical shock can be deadly. • If ventilation is not sufficient, then the welding area should be equipped with mechanical ventilating equipment. • Always have a fire extinguisher ready for immediate use.

Agricultural Tailgate Safety Training Agricultural Safety Program Training Module: Battery Safety Objective: To use and store batteries in a safe manner. Trainer's Note: Discuss the different types of batteries and what types are used specifically within your operation. Examples may be helpful to have at the training session. The modules on lifting and eye protection could be reviewed along with this module. Background Lead-acid storage batteries are chemical machines that produces power on demand. The typical battery has a number of individual cells containing layers of lead plates immersed in sulfuric acid. When sulfuric acid contacts the lead plate inside the cell, energy is produced. The main battery terminals are the positive and negative posts. The battery may also have vent caps on top of it. These caps serve two purposes: they permit the checking and maintenance of water and acid levels and provide a vent for the escape of gases formed when the battery is charging. Types of Batteries Tapered Terminal Posts Vent Plugs Car Starting Batteries: Cover This battery was developed for the job of starting cars and trucks. Built to deliver quick starting at minimum weight, size and cost, these batteries have lead sponges rather than sturdy lead plates. These thin sponges are delicate and start to break down after less than 100 cycles. Positive Plate Deep Cycle Batteries: It is designed to be compact, inexpensive, and last for 200 to 400 charge-discharge Negative Plate cycles. These storage batteries are pack- aged in the same small automotive case and contain somewhat thicker plates of lead. Avoid acid spills by placing the Container battery in an upright and level position. Element Rests Gel Cell Batteries: The gel cell battery, used in aircraft and designed for portability, are usually small and have gelled acid within a sealed case. This battery works in any position and is designed to be clean and usable in environments intolerant of acid vapors and spills. If charged or discharged too rapidly, gas will build up, causing the battery case to rupture. Besides possible rupture, storage at high temperatures (i.e., above 78º F) accelerates self-discharge and shortens the battery's life. Although more expensive, the sealed gel cell battery can be a safer and cleaner alternative. Safety Tips for Working With Batteries • Keep sparks and flames away from the battery. Inspect the battery in natural light. • Remove wrist watches, which might make electrical contact and create sparks. • Wear safety goggles or a face shield when inspecting or cleaning the battery. • If acid does enter the eye, immediately flood with running water for at least 30 minutes. See a doctor as soon as possible. • If acid contacts the skin, wash the affected area immediately with plenty of water. • Avoid chemical burns by not rubbing eyes or skin while working with the battery. • Wash your hands immediately after completing the job. • Clean up all acid spills and flush clothing with a water and baking soda solution.
