The Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMAW) Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides instructions and safety measures for welding safely and efficiently.

It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, hazardous fumes, welding flash, sparks, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, operator training, a pre-operational inspection, maintenance including lockout/tagout, and a step-by-step operation from preparation to post-welding cleanup.

A PPE register records the PPE issued to each worker.
