TIG

Requirements for Welding at Bitraf

• Welding is only permitted for members who have completed the "Varme Arbeider" (Hot Work) course.
• Users must possess the necessary skills, competence, and experience to work safely.

Currently, there is no internal training course for using the TIG welder. This means users must already have sufficient experience to operate it confidently. Always ask for assistance if you are unsure.

Risks

Make sure you understand the risks involved with welding. The list below includes examples, but is not exhaustive:

• Permanent risk of UV light exposure to eyes and skin
• Hazardous gases emitted from molten metals
• Risk of electric shock
• Fire and burn hazards to yourself
• Fire and burn hazards to equipment and the building
• Risk from explosive gases and pressurized gas containers

User Manual

Procedure for Hot Metal Work

• Log your work using the checklist in the Slack channel `#hot-work-checklist`
• Take and post a photo of the gas bottle pressure before and after your session to `#hot-work-checklist`
• Report any consumables used in the same channel

Cost of Gas and Consumables

There is currently no fixed routine for handling welding-related costs. While we work on establishing a system, it’s important that all usage of gas and consumables is reported in the Slack channel. This helps us keep track of the ongoing expenses to Bitraf.
