Light Gas Welding and Cutting
Some light gas welding and cutting jobs require no special protective clothing other than gauntlets and goggles, if you wear regular work clothing correctly. Wearing clothing in the manner described below reduces the risk that sparks will lodge in folds of clothing, such as rolled-up sleeves and cuffs, pockets, or the shirt collar.
- Roll sleeves down, button collar and cuffs.
- Cover pockets not protected by button-down flaps from the front of work clothing.
- Do not turn trouser cuffs up on the outside.
- All clothing should be free of oil and grease.
- Wear high-top or safety shoes, instead of low-cut shoes with unprotected tops.
