For a welding burn, it's important to cool the affected area immediately with running cool water for at least 10 to 20 minutes. After cooling, gently pat the area dry and apply a sterile, non-stick bandage or dressing. Over-the-counter antibiotic ointments can help prevent infection. If the burn is severe or covers a large area, seek medical attention.

What is the hazards of ozone burn on face through welding work?
While welding may cause a face burn if proper protective equipment is not used, that burn is caused by heat and light from the welding process, not from ozone. Where ozone is released in sufficient quantities, it may cause cough, headache, deep lung irritation and, in the more eggregious cases, pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs)

What happens if you light a welding rod with a match?
If you light a welding rod with a match, it will start to burn and produce sparks due to the high heat generated. However, a match may not provide enough sustained heat to fully ignite the welding rod for welding purposes. It is safer and more effective to use appropriate equipment and procedures for welding.
How would you welding-related injuries?

Why is welding in the downward position an advantage when welding on sheet metal?
Verticle down welding will always have lower penetration and less heat applied to the weld joint. As sheet metal is thinner and can not take excessive heat, verticle down reduces burn-through.
What do you not put on a burn?

What is downhill welding?
MY question is (WHAT IS DOWNHILL WELDING) The correct term is Down Hand Welding. Most welds in the vertical position are made from bottom to top. Down Hand means welding from the top to bottom. These welds are usually made on thin metal as the heat input is lower, thereby reducing penetration/burn thru.
What is the use of up hill welding and down hill welding?
Vertical up welding is preferred in most instances as better penetration is achieved and the slag does not run down into the arc. Down hand welding is mostly used on thin material so as not to burn thru the metal. Travel speed is usually increased also.

What is balance welding?
When welding on AC on a TIG welder you have to option to adjust how your arc passes from your torch to your metal and vice versa. This allows you to clawed your puddle clean of contaminants or burn your weld deeper while welding. When set on balanced, the arc equally passes in both directions.
