The Spot Welding Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed to help implement safe and efficient spot welding processes.

It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, hazardous fumes, welding flash, fire and explosion, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, operator training, the work area, a pre-operational inspection, a step-by-step operation, maintenance and a PPE register.

A training quiz comes with the procedure to reinforce learning and check worker understanding.
