“Safe Use of Mobile Welding Screens”
Key Hazards
- Arc flash exposure
- Trip hazards from screen legs
- Screens tipping over
2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of mobile welding screens is essential for welders and nearby personnel. Screens prevent arc flash exposure to bystanders.
Workers should place screens close enough to block all lines of sight while maintaining ventilation.
Different screen heights may be required depending on the workpiece.
Stabilizing legs and checking the floor surface prevents tipping.
Safety Reminders
- Block all sight lines.
- Ensure screens are stable.
- Keep legs clear of walkways.
- Choose correct screen height.
Ask the Crew
- Are screens blocking all angles of the weld?
- Do we need additional screens today?
