Intro. "Alright, listen up, rookies. Safety, is the first thing you think about before any weld. Ask yourself, have you checked your workspace? Is it clean? Where are my cables lying? Are my cables damaged? Is my machine and gas already on? Is my gas canister leaking? Are there any idiots who are going to put me in harms way? Is all my PPE on? Is it damaged? Saftey. First. Be vigilant. Or you'll become another statistic and another example instructors like myself use to warn other newbies. Now. Who can tell me. Why should my workstation be swept and cleaned everything I finish welding? Why? Why should I go through that hassle every time?"
