7. Health and safety
Like all arc welding processes
gas: formation of ozone, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide in the arc (respiratory tract irritation); argon-based protective gas (asphyxiation in confined spaces);
radiation: ultraviolet (burns and cancer), infrared (overheating) and visible (glare);
dust: metallic particles and oxides (respiratory tract irritation and long-term illness);
electric current: risk of electrification in...
