Fire hazards
Open flame operation High solder joint temperature
Electrical welding is an open flame operation, and the temperature of the solder joint can usually reach 3600-6000 °C, which is dangerous with high temperature, high pressure, flammability and explosion.
Sparks fly and ignite combustibles
There are a large number of high-temperature sparks and welding slag splashes during welding operations, which can smolder and spread when in contact with combustibles such as wood, cotton and linen, causing fire, and may cause explosion when in contact with explosive gas.
The wire drags the welder and shorts it
The connecting power cord of the welding machine is often dragged during operation, which is easy to cause aging and damage to the line insulation, resulting in a short circuit and ignition of surrounding combustibles.
Hot work is a special job

Passed the special safety technical training and assessment
