Additional PPE maybe applicable in accordance with site conditions (e.g. High visibility, hard hat, sun protection). Ensure all PPE meets relevant Australian Standards. Inspect, and replace PPE as needed. Safety Notes M SDS for Shielding Gas (Argon) must be available on site. Or other Shielding gases where applicable SA Argon is classified as a Class 2.2 gas but is not categorised as a Hazardous Chemicals according to ASCC. Argon is a colourless, odourless, non flammable gas. Argon is an asphyxiant gas which means the gas displaces oxygen from the air. Argon cylinders should be stored in a secure position, upright and restrained to prevent from falling. Do not store Argon cylinders within close proximity to ignition sources and ensure that there is adequate air movement / natural ventilation. Safety glasses and leather gloves should be worn when working with Argon. Hazardous by products may be created when Argon is used in welding activities – Strict controls must be in place having regard to reducing exposure to fumes / vapours created. Argon is non irritating to the eyes or skin DOCUMENT NO: S812.0297 Authorised by: Signature: Full Document Available Here: WELDING MIG WORK METHOD STATEMENT ACTIVITY : Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG) REVIEW NO: © SafetyCulture All rights reserved Date: DATE: Page 2 of 11 - Version 8.0 Full Document Available Here WELDING MIG WORK METHOD STATEMENT Possible Safety or Environmental Hazards RB Control Measures to Reduce risk E Task Breakdown RA Responsible Officer NOTE: RB = Risk Rating before controls implemented - RA = Risk Rating after controls are implemented.
