Keselamatan dalam pengelasan / Safety in Welding

  1. Radiasi bunga api / Arc Radiation

Radiasi bunga api dihasilkan dari sinar Ultra Violet (UV) dan sinar infra merah (IR) dan apabila Kita terpajan dapat menyebabkan: / Arch radiation is a result of ULTRA-VIOLET (UV) and INFRA-RED (IR) Rays and exposure can cause the following.

    • Kanker kulit / Skin cancer
    • Kulit terbakar / Thermal Skin Burn (severe sun burn)
    • Mata terbakar / Arch Flash (welder Flash) or Eye Burn which can result in inflammation of the cornea, Cataracts or Blindness.

Alat Pelindung Diri yang diperlukan /Protection Required Includes:

· Helm las yang memenuhi standard dan terdapat filter / an approved welding helmet with the correct filter and shade number.

· Kacamata safety yang berguna untuk menahan sinar UV dan IR serta mengurangi / Safety glasses which will help to refract (bend away) the UV and IR Rays away reducing the chances of Arch Flash.

· Selalu pergunakan pakaian pelindung yang melindungi seluruh tubuh dari potensi terbakar, diantaranya: / Always wear protection full covering clothing to shield your body for potential burn eg:

o Kain wool atau katun yang tahan api atau percikan api / Overall or flame resistant wool or cotton.

o Jaket kulit / Leather apron and jackets

o Selalu menggunakan sarung tangan kulit / Always wear leather gloves

o Semacam topi pelindung kepala / Skull cap (for overhead welding)

o Pergunakan sekat pelindung ketika bekerja di area terbuka / Screen the welding zone when welding in open spaces.

· Kilatan cahaya api las dapat mengenai Kitawalaupun tanpa melihat secara langsung / A welding flash can occur by indirectly viewing the arch even for a relatively short time eg:

o Unconsciously looking out the corner of the eye.

o Looking away from the arch (close eyes then turn away)

o Dipantulkan oleh permukaan yang mengkilat / Reflections of the arch from shiny surfaces.

  1. Sengatan Listrik / Electric Shock

· Jangan pegang bagian logam yang dilas dengan tangan tanpa pelindung atau baju yang basah / Never touch live metal part with bare skin or wet clothing.

· Jaga sarung tangan dan baju pelindung tetap kering dan bebas dari oli atau gemuk / Keep gloves and Protective clothing dry and free of oil and grease.

· Jangan lilitkan atau putarkan kabel las disekitar tubuh Anda / Never coil or loop welding cable around your body.

· Jangan mengelas diatas permukaan basah atau di diatas air / Don’t weld while standing on a wet surface or while standing in water.

  1. Uap Logam dan Gas / Fumes and Gases

Dihasilkan oleh mencairnya logam, penguapan dan reaksi-reaksi lain yang terjadi, yang berupa logam atau gas termasuk dalam bunga api pengelasan /Caused by the melting, vapourisation and other reaction of the consumables, base metals and gases (where applicable) involved in the welding arc.

Beberapa kontaminasi yang umum /Some common contaminants:
