CUTTING AND WELDING PROCEDURES:
 All cutting and welding operations performed at tuft by tuft
personnel or contractors must be carried out in accordance
with standards set forth by the American Welding Society and
the appropriate American National Standard institute standard

 FIRE PRECAUTIONS
 When cutting or welding outside a designated area, remove
the work to a safe location free of combustible materials if
possible.
 If the work cannot be moved ,clear flammable materials and
rubbish from the area for about a 35 feet radius.
 If these precautions are not feasible, shield or cover such
materials with fire resistive materials to protect them for
combustion.
 Holes in the floor and walls must be covered to prevent sparks
from falling through unnoticed onto people or combustible
materials below.
 Maintain a fire watch when doing this kind of work and have

a charged fire extinguisher readily available.
 Do not cut or weld any closed vessel that has contained or has
suspected to have contained flammable or toxic materials until
it has been tested, thoroughly cleaned , purged and vented.
 Traces of the material may still be in the vessel and result in a
fire or explosion ,or create a toxic exposure.
 Accident Prevention
 Common sense and safe working practice is the key to
accident prevention. If you are unsure about an operation,
request assistance.
