Home Safety Checklist Part 2

Custom Metal Products wanted to expand more on home/property safety since multiple things can occur within your home/property. Young children especially seem to get into everything therefore, we made a part two to our Home/Safety Checklist because we wanted to focus on the things people seem to overlook especially when you have young children in the household. Review our list on the precautionary measures you should take to maintain safety within your home/property.

• Don't overload extension cords! You shouldn't go beyond the recommended current.
• Make sure furniture (ex: large shelves,)  are secured tightly so that if you have a child(ren) playing, they won't get hurt.
• Make sure your walls don't have any chip paint so that a child will not put the pieces in their mouths. Also if your going and/or have started painting/repainting, try to purchase a non volatile paint.
• Pay attention to places that can be dangerous to child(ren) such as outlet, staircase, windows and go online and get safety instructions for these particular places.
• If your using an extension cord, it shouldn't be coiled, tacked, or under heavy furniture.
• Check your appliances to make sure the circuit interrupters are working efficiently. Also, check them regularly. 
•  If your not using an appliance, unplug and place it in a area where a child(ren) can't get to it.
•  If you use an air heater during the winter, make sure that the heater isn't near anything that is flammable. (Ex: beds, curtains, etc.)
• Make sure you have a safe exit to go along with having a fire extinguisher and alarms throughout your property. If you have a two family home property, try to have an escape ladder for your family. Also, have all emergency contact  and their numbers available to you.
• If you have a basement, make sure you change your wooden steps into iron. If there's a fire, the wooden steps would be destroyed.
• Place window stoppers in the windows along with child safety bars. The stoppers will allow the window open one inch above the window guard so that your child(ren) won't be able to climb over the window guard.
• Make sure your water heater doesn't go above 120 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent burning and it will save you money.
• Place all medications in a child safety box/cabinet so that it restricts a child from gaining access and consuming the medication.
• Make sure that the UL mark on certain items. This marks assures you that the item has been tested, verified and has been inspected for its safety. If it doesn't have the mark, do not use the item.

Home/Property Safety Checklist For Your Home/Property

At Custom Metal Products, we know that safety is important to us because we know that it’s important to you. We know that home/property needs to be the most safest. Custom Metal Products wants you to use our safety checklist below to make sure your home is well protected because when your home/property's safety taken care of, you’ll have more time to spend on the important things - like your family.

• Install smoke/carbon monoxide detectors near all bedrooms on ALL floors in your home/property. If already installed, TEST THEM! Make sure you change the batteries every daylight saving time changes just in case.
• Make sure that all outlets should be covered so that a potential burgular can't use their tools.
• If you have an fire escape, check to see if the steps and railings are in good condition. Also, check the drop ladder to see if it's working properly.
• Check your roof hatch. Make sure you have the newer versions that have hinges connected to them along with a quick release slide bolt for you to escape easily and quickly.
• Check your escape(Fire Dept. Approved) window guard to see if you have a quick release slide bolt for you to escape easily and quickly.
• Have an escape plan and practice with your family/employee/co-worker where everyone knows the exits on the floors and/or throughout the property.
• Make sure you have all purpose fire extinguishers in key locations (example: kitchen area). Make sure to maintain the current expiration dates and know how to use them properly.

Type Of Gases Used In Welding Machines

It's important to use the correct amount and type of gases to maintain the welding machine performance. Here are some tips that you can use to maintain your welding machine:

A 75 percent argon/25 percent CO_{2 (carbon dioxide)} blend (also called "75/25" or "C25") works as the best "all purpose" shielding gas for carbon steel. It produces the least amount spatter, best bead appearance and won't promote burn-through on thinner metals.

100 percent CO₂ provides deeper penetration, but also increases spatter and the bead will be rougher than with 75/25.

Proper Wire Selection When Using A MIG Machine

When welding steel, there are two common wire types. There is an AWS classification ER70S-3 for all-purpose welding. You should use the ER70S-6 wire when more deoxidizers are needed for welding on dirty or rusty steel. As for wire diameter, .030-in. diameter makes a good all-around choice for welding a wide range of metal thicknesses in home and motorsports applications. For welding thinner material, use a .023-in. wire to reduce heat input. For welding thicker material at higher total heat levels, use .035-in. (or .045-in. wire if it's within your welder's output range).

Steps Needed To Prepare Your Metal To Be Welded..

When working with iron, some of the iron needs to be prepared before welding. Here are some precautionary tips:

Unlike Stick and Flux-Cored electrodes, which have higher amounts of special additives, the solid MIG wire does not combat rust, dirt, oil or other contaminants very well.

Use a metal brush or grinder and clean down to bare metal before striking an arc. Make sure your work clamp connects to clean metal, too; any electrical impedance will affect wire feeding performance.

To ensure strong welds on thicker metal, bevel the joint to ensure the weld fully penetrates to the base metal. This is especially important for butt joints.

Safety Precautions Before Using MIG Equipment

Before you start manufacturing ironwork, you need to be careful with the equipment. Here are some steps you should take before you start welding:

Check your cables: Before striking an arc, check your welding equipment to make sure all of the cable connections are tight fitting and free of fraying or other damage.

Select electrode polarity: MIG welding requires DC electrode positive, or reverse polarity. The polarity connections are usually found on the inside of the machine.

Set gas flow: Turn on the shielding gas and set the flow rate to 20 to 25 cubic feet per hour. If you suspect leaks in your gas hose, apply a soapy water solution and look for bubbles. If you spot a leak, discard the hose and install a new one.

Check tension. Too much or too little tension on either the drive rolls or the wire spool hub can lead to poor wire feeding performance. Adjust according to your owner's manual.

Inspect consumables. Remove excess spatter from contact tubes, replace worn contact tips and liners and discard the wire if it appears rusty.

If you take these necessary steps, you should be able to weld safely. For more information, visit our blog page at http://upkeepingyourironwork.blogspot.com.
