When welded, two pieces of similar metals are fused (melted) together. Once completed, the welded joint is as strong or stronger than the pieces from which the joint is formed.
General hazards of welding include impact, penetration, harmful dust, smoke, fumes, heat and light radiation. The proper personal protective equipment can protect employees from these hazards.
Employees are required to obtain and complete a permit to perform hot work (welding, burning and cutting) activities at SJSU facilities.
The hazards associated with hot work can be reduced through the implementation of an effective control program.
For more information, contact your supervisor or Facilities Development & Operations
(FD&O).
