"This Technical Note was developed in response to a recent series of electrical safety incidents in the welding and fabrication industries. It is designed to provide practical guidance and a summary of the latest information available from a wide range of research and experience, with the goal of helping to prevent such incidents. The Technical Note addresses issues such as the hazards of particular equipment and processes, the effect of electric current on the human body and safe working practices including risk assessment and avoidance. It utilises case studies to emphasise common problem areas and includes a guidance note on Voltage Reduction Devices for MMAW and arc gouging power sources." - product description.

Ever want to communicate more effectively with welding shop and plant personnel? This publication, written by a former welder and welding instructor for the U.S. Army, will help the IH who has little "hands-on" shop experience, particularly IH and safety students, IH and safety professionals with little or no practical background in welding health and safety, and welders and managers who need to identify and address the health and safety concerns of their operations. Major topics include health and safety considerations, welding terminology, equipment, welding and cutting in confined spaces, construction, maintenance, repair welding, and the health effects of metals, gases and other agents commonly encountered in welding processes. Enhanced by numerous figures provided by the American Welding Society.
