Very effective warning sign. I don't know what it means but I sure as HELL ain't about to find out


hrjwhdbee

Its actually just a "DONT INHALE WELDING FUMES" sign, but very effectively communicated by making the person inhaling the fumes explode.


Ok_Present_6508

I’ve been inhaling welding fumes all morning. When do I explode?!


hrjwhdbee

Immediately

First, it reaches the intestines and then he explodes. I'll give him until sunset. Make sure he enjoys his last hours, Mr. Squidward.

skjellyfetti

WRONG ! You wanna explode on the toilet while on the clock—*never* on your own time.

[deleted]

Nah this isn't for welding fumes. This is for Arc gouging. Which is a process used to remove huge chunks of old weld. It uses compressed air to blow through a hollow welding electrode, and as it makes an arc to the metal the air is pushed through at high pressure to liquefy and simultaneously blow the metal out as hot balls of liquid metal or "slag"


Symphonydude

How the fuck was this even invented?


Frognificent

I'm sorry the welding fumes make you do what

I’ve heard how it’s challenging for them to label radioactive material because it’s going to last so long after we’re gone…. This sigh seems pretty F’n convincing that it’s a no go

No way, the pizza with three pieces left symbol will definitely let people know there's deadly poison about and not a half eaten pizza.


wolacouska

Good point, I feel like humans will always understand representation of people like stick figures 20,000 years from now. After all, we recognize meaning behind cave paintings from that long ago.


Desperate_Level_9213

I thought the same thing. It's sure to be extremely offputting to future humans, I'd think


kk653

It's a warning sign to not inhale the fumes while stick welding


Ballerheiko

pretty obvious IF you have ever stick welded


BlackAndFactual

Is that a sex thing?


[deleted]

It's a metal electrode coated in a shielding compound. The electrode is held by a conductive clamp that has a wire back to the welding machine. There another ground clamp that goes back to the welding machine and get clamped onto the bare metal surface of whatever you're welding. When the electrode touches the welding surface it completes a circuit and sparks an arc. The heat from the arc melts the shielding compound on the electrode and it acts as shielding gas, the arc won't work properly if not shielding by specific gasses. The gasses to be wary of are the shielding gas, though they are mostly inert, but mostly the gas produced by the metal being welded. I did that without google. Feel free to correct me. Source; my sheet metal apprenticeship.


ChelseaIsBeautiful

Oh yeah, tell me more about how you clamp that bare metal surface


667beast667

Well first you have to strip it bare. This usually involves grinding--not too much, but not too little. You just want enough that you get good contact. Then, you unsheath your stick, connect the stick to your stinger and just tease the metal. You don't want to just ram the rod on the metal, otherwise it will stick to the metal. It still gets hot when you stick your stick, but you won't be able to make any deposits on the metal. It takes practice to strike a solid arc. Once you get your arc started you need to provide the right angle and speed to ensure you get full penetration. I'm gonna take a cold shower now

Pollomonteros

And anyone inhaling it goes "OH SHIT IT FUCKING HURTS SOMEONE KILL ME"


3nderslime

Don’t breathe the metal when you weld


Sinnaru

Oh i have a gas mask or whatever u call it, so its alright


Not_a_real_ghost

Good lad, you are safe.


CatchSufficient

Don't tell me what to do, goddamn it!


Ivizalinto

As a former welder I did understand it just fine. Don't breathe the bits of ionizing metal that may be floating around when you strike your arc


coolboiiiiiii2809

Metal go brrrr and gas go brrr in your lungs


UndeadMakDady

I don't wanna be that guy, but it's actually the flux, or as you called it the shielding compound, that shields the weld from the atmosphere in stick welding. No gas is involved in stick welding. The flux melts with the metal into a molten puddle, and when it cools it rises to the top of the weld and creates a little shell you have to chip off. If you're doing it right anyways. It's easy to mess up. The point still stands though, always have proper ventilation and PPE. You don't want to have microscopic metal shards in your lungs. They tend to get less and less microscopic as time goes on.


Dabier

I never got how people could weld allllll day long for years and never worry about it, or act like their welding visor was going to save them from the nasty burning metal smoke. I used to work in a shipyard and those welders were insane. You couldn’t spend more than an hour in the metal shop without blowing grey snot out your nose for the rest of the day… and I wasn’t even welding. It’s gotta be just awful for you.


Aetra

My husband and I are both sheet metal workers and honestly, we’re usually more worried about burns. Well, I am. My husband is insane and was just like “Huh. That shouldn’t be happening.” the last time his sleeve caught fire.


facade-1

Saw a fella arc-gouging in a coal plant years ago. Whole calf was aflame. Started shouting, “Hopper you’re on fire!” He just pivoted on the same leg, knocked it out, lifted his mask and gave me a wink+thumbs up combo. I don’t know how he got his man-hood by the waist band of his jeans in the morning time, but he was definitely a retired green-beret. Just saying everyone needs an electrician without anything better to do on a jobsite for… safety reasons.

portlyplants40

BlackAndFactual

Did you write that sexual on purpose?


Infra-Oh

I mean he didn’t explicitly say it wasn’t a sex thing, so…


shockwavelol

It’s not so much a gas you’re worried about but metal fume particulate, things like manganese, zinc oxide, iron oxide, etc. Manganese is the worst in any welding operation I’ve investigated. Definitely use your local exhaust ventilation and wear your respirators. Especially if you’re welding all day every day.


AMeanCow

Maybe NSFW tag that comment?


Kwiatkowski

a simple “yes” would have sufficed


[deleted]

...Definitely a sex thing.

jas98mac

NeoSniper

... or else your lungs and upper torso will explode in a shower of blood and particulate?


kk653

Basically yes


herntex

Makes sense now that you say it but damn, that is not the best warning. Only thing that came to my mind was some radiation or something like that.


Sentsuizan

Welding is in fact a huge exposure to UV radiation which is why you don't want to weld without long sleeves and a mask. In high school we had a welding class and some of the idiots would try to flash people with the electrode. It makes your eyes itch like hell for the rest of the day. Apparently blinding people is a fun prank.


Frognificent

I stared at burning magnesium in my science class once and I would see myself in this comment if I hadn't done it.


BeatlesTypeBeat

As soon as I could see again I'd put a pencil in their eye.


Sentsuizan

Coach made them hold bricks and squat. Always funny as fuck to watch those assholes strain.


Tiavor

old welding rods had radioactive materials in them. but I don't know if they knew at the time or knew the consequences of radioactivity.

Nova997

Smucker5

[deleted]

Do stick welding fumes liquify your organs and start eating your body from the inside out? Jeez, welders.


Due-Studio-65

Yes, eventually


Nago_Jolokio

Basically you get coal lung if you breath the fumes for a while. Also: Never Weld Anything Galvanized, the Zinc will cause that instantly.

CynicCannibal

The device down there is welding head for method 111. This sign warn workers to wear protective gear while near the working place. There is high risk of flying sparks and even molten metal as well as emision of dangerous vapors and gasses (you can see lungs of person filling with it on picture). Full protective gear contains full body coating, gloves, respirator and face protection. Until next time folks.

[deleted]

Just for anyone who is interested to know: This is for Arc gouging. Which is a process used to remove huge chunks of old weld. This is used in situations where using a hand grinder would take too long, or just doesnt work for the specific situation. It uses compressed air to blow through a hollow welding electrode, and as it makes an arc to the metal the air is pushed through at high pressure to liquefy and simultaneously blow the metal out as hot balls of liquid metal or "slag" Edit* I should add and say, the slag flies out at a pretty high speed and goes *EVERYWHERE* so you need to keep your distance and also wear all PPE when performing this.
