Introduction:
 It is impossible to list all the hazards that can exist on a construction job site. We will discuss some of the most common hazards and how to deal with them.
Development:
 Review common job-site hazards. Discuss the consequences of removing a protective cap if the cylinder is not secured.

Practice:
 Ask students to make a list of hazards they think might be present and discuss potential hazards and solutions. Ask a student to explain problems that could result if oxygen mixes with oil or grease. Ask a student to explain how hot dross can cause severe injuries.
