Holt Welding Solutions is dedicated to maintaining nothing but the highest standards of workplace safety. The following are a few general safety precautions that all welding professionals should practice:

• Make sure that a reliable, operable fire extinguisher is nearby at all
  times.
• To prevent a fire or an accident, make sure that hot, rejected electrode
  stubs, steel scraps or tools are not left on the floor or around the
  welding equipment.
• Before welding or cutting, take a look around and make sure that
  everyone in close proximity is wearing proper clothing and goggles.
• Make sure that all flammable materials (i.e. cotton, gasoline, oil, etc)
  have been cleared from the welding area.
• After every operation, donâ��t forget to mark all hot metal with soap
  stone or a similar type of material.
