When using an automated welder, you should always ensure that you wear the correct P.P.E at all times. Always wear a long sleeve welding jacket to cover any bare skin to stop UV burns. Use a welding helmet or face shield when the arc is in process to protect your face from UV burns and your eyes from "arc eye". Wear safety glasses at all times to ensure that your eyes are protected from any particles or debris that my fly into your eyes. Before, during and after welding ensure that there are adequate welding screens around the equipment to protect others in the vicinity from the welding arc.

On completion of any welding activity the machine must be shut down in the correct manner, to avoid any malfunctions and damage to the software. You should dispose of any waste, i.e. filler wire, materials, in the correct manner that applies with the COSHH regulations.
