Presented by Malcolm MacDonald

Learn welding safety tips and techniques such as welding maintenance, fire safety, helmet use, welding in confined spaces in this DIY video series.

Series Summary

Metallurgy has existed for thousands of years and welding, the joining of two metals, can be traced back to the Bronze Age - four thousand years before the birth of Christ. Since then mankind has made considerable advances in welding, mastering different forms such as arc, laser, mig, and tig welding. One thing that has not changed however is the inherent danger to bodily injury when combining metals whether using high heat, pressurized flammable gases, or electricity. Consequently welding safety equipment and techniques must be used to protect the welder (and those nearby) from the hazards of welding. In this free welding safety video series, learn from expert welder and welding teacher Malcolm MacDonald as he gives welding safety instructions, tips, and techniques on topics including: safety equipment (gloves, helmets); protecting yourself from fumes, fires, welding smoke, electric shocks; what not to do; welding on closed vessels; welding in wet conditions; handling gas cylinders; proper ventilation; tool safety; and tripping hazards.
