Quite. Once I was cutting out the rusted exhaust of a commercial truck with an ox-acetylene torch when the guy two bays away from me decided it was a good time to apply underbody coat to a new truck. The head mechanic started screaming and running around opening bays and we both stopped, probably saving us all.
- Jtsummers 6y agoThis is also a reason why many industrial shops (manufacturing or major repair centers) have separate bays for things like that. It's harder to set up for smaller operations, but by keeping them physically separated (never applying paint or flammable things in the vicinity of where a welding torch might be used) you eliminate a great deal of risk.
