insulating gloves and protective clothing.
Wear an approved head covering to protect the head and neck. Use aprons, cape,
sleeves, shoulder covers, and bibs designed and approved for welding and cutting
procedures.
When welding or cutting overhead or in confined spaces, wear flame resistant ear
plugs or ear muffs to keep sparks out of ears.
8. Prevent accidental fires. Remove any combustible material from the work area.
When possible, move the work to a location well away from combustible materials.
If relocation is not possible, protect the combustibles with a cover made of fire
resistant material.
