TIG Welding

SOP · SOP-60006

  • Version 4

The TIG Welding Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides a framework for safe and efficient TIG welding operations.

It identifies the hazards of TIG welding, such as noise, electricity and hazardous fumes, lists the personal protective equipment required and sets out the precautions, including training and competency requirements for operators.

It includes a pre-operational inspection checklist, maintenance guidance following lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, step-by-step operating instructions from electrode selection to shutdown, and a PPE register to track the PPE issued to workers.

Written by SafetyDocs safety experts, who have been writing safety documents since 2004.
