 PROCEDURE FOR WORKS OF
Welding

1. OBJECTIVE
Establish the controls before, during, and after the welding work, as well as the
inspections and tests of the weld seams as part of ensuring and verifying the
quality of the welded joints.

2. SCOPE OF APPLICATION
Applicable to welding work carried out in production plants thus
as in the assembly process.

3. IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSIBILITY
Head of Quality Control (Site or Plant):
Responsible for monitoring compliance with this procedure.
Quality Control Inspector (Work or Plant):
Responsible for verifying that the work is carried out in accordance with this procedure.
Report daily on the controls carried out.
Welding Supervisor
Disseminate and fully enforce what is stipulated in this Procedure to everyone.
the staff under your charge. Request the necessary resources according to the program.
Ensure that hot work within the site is carried out according to this.
procedure and verify that the workers are aware of it.
Personal Executor:
Faithfully comply with what is stipulated in this procedure. All workers who
those who will perform hot work tasks must be properly trained and
trained to execute them. It will be the responsibility of each worker to maintain all
their work teams with their respective maintenance and their personal protective equipment
staff in optimal working condition at all times.

Check the grounding of the electrical panels and the welding machine.
Protection of electrical cables against the risk of external damage.
All electrical extensions must be routed overhead, they cannot
be in direct contact with other structures unless implements are used

The electrode carrying cable must be fully insulated along its length.
The terminal and/or connection point of the cable to the machine must not have erosions.
The connection of the negative pole of the welding machine that is connected to the piece and/or
structure to be welded must be connected in a rigid and continuous manner to
through a clamp or pliers so that it does not produce 'sparking' due to contact
direct.
Unions should be avoided; if they exist, they must be carried out by personnel.

(rubber, plastic, etc.)
All electrical conductors must remain organized in the place of
work, in order not to be exposed to crushes, blows, hot particles,
water, humidity, etc.
Fire extinguishers must be available in the workplace (12kg extinguishers).
The work must be done on surfaces and in dry environments.

Hold onto a mechanical screw or similar and perform any manipulation with gloves.
Keep equipment and tools organized at the work station.

f. Instructions for working with angle grinders and/or bench grinders

Before starting the task, the workers must check all their equipment and
work tools (according to equipment maintenance procedure).
Workers performing the task of grinding must necessarily have
