Welding in a Confined Space can be deadly.

Welders do a dangerous job.

In this video welders are exposed to a hazard involving an explosion while working in a confined space.

Here is another video involving a confined space explosion and shrapnel that can cause injury or death.

And in Dallas there is an explosion said to be caused by welding. The explosion is clearly seen on this video footage from WFAA in Dallas. The size and scope of the explosion and flames is unbelievable. The date is July 25, 2007.

And from Michigan on November 2, 2009 we get this coverage of a welding plant explosion.

Here is prevention awareness video from Canada.

OMG!
It was a terrific explosion. I can not imagine how much it cost to fix it all. I know if this business has a very high level of danger. So, we must prepare all of it ranging from safety and other security equipment.
