HDPE Pipe Butt Fusion Welding Machine Safety Reminders
Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:
- Pick a safe staging area to perform pipe fusion. Vehicle or pedestrian traffic should be held to a minimum in the area in which the fusion operation is being performed. Also choose a location that has no overhead hazards.
- Use personal safety equipment. Always wear a hardhat and protective boots. Gloves can be helpful for protecting hands from the heater and sharp blades on the facer. Protective eyewear is always a good idea especially when cutting bands from pipe bundles or coils. Remove jewelry and rings, and do not wear loose-fitting clothing or long hair that could catch on controls or moving machinery.
- Make sure all equipment is in good working order. All power cords should be in good condition and make sure the grounding blade is not broken on the plug.
- Heaters are not explosion proof. Do not plug heaters in, in a potentially explosive atmosphere or while standing in water. If operating in a hazardous environment, the heater should be brought up to temperature in a safe environment, then unplugged before entering the hazardous atmosphere for fusion.
- When removing pipe from the fusion unit and pulling into place, use proper lifting slings and pulling heads, chains or ropes can slip and cause injury to yourself and/or bystanders, not to mention damage to the pipe.
