29 CFR 1910.252(c)(1)(ii): Screens. When welding must be performed in a space entirely screened on all sides, the screens shall be so arranged that no serious restriction of ventilation exists. It is desirable to have the screens so mounted that they are about 2 feet (0.61 m) above the floor unless the work is performed at so low a level that the screen must be extended nearer to the floor to protect nearby workers from the glare of welding. a. Production/Welding Department/Rows A through E - On or about July 11, 2013, employees were required to walk along the ailes/rows where welder's booths had welding curtains showing burns, marks, and holes.
