In many cases the dangers cannot be detected by the senses. It is important to remember that many deaths occur whilst attempting to rescue from a confined space. HAZARDS Too much or too little oxygen. Presence of toxic and/or flammable atm.. 2023. 1. 15. 12. Gas Cutting The process consists of preheating the metal to be cut to its ignition (oxidation) temperature, i.e., above 870°C in case of steel. The preheating is done by oxy- acetylene gas flame, which is supplied from surrounding openings of the cutting torch. When this temperature is attained, a jet of high pressure oxygen from a central opening of the cutting torch is directed on the red hot metal. Hazar.. 2022. 12. 14. Gas Monitoring Too many people are killed every year when working or rescuing from confined spaces. In many cases this is because operatives are not aware of the hazards and do not have the correct monitoring equipment to identify when hazards are present. [Hazards] · Lack of knowledge of the potential hazards. · Low or High oxygen levels. · Presence of toxic or flammable gases. · The wrong type or uncallibrat.. 2022. 12. 9.
