Dyer JSA - Brazing Copper

This document provides a job safety analysis for brazing copper. It outlines 8 steps for the process: 1) Cutting pipe; 2) Ensuring proper fit; 3) Cleaning surfaces; 4) Fluxing parts; 5) Using phosphorus-bearing filler metal when brazing copper to copper; 6) Assembling parts for brazing; 7) Brazing the assembly using nitrogen purge; 8) Cleaning the brazed joint. Potential hazards are identified for each step such as burns, dermal exposure, and flying debris. Safe work practices like wearing proper PPE (gloves, eyewear, fire resistant clothing) are recommended to mitigate the risks.

using a phosphorous bearing filler
metal to act as the fluxing agent.
Step 6. Assemble for brazing by - Dermal exposure - Wear proper work gloves
alignment and supported parts - Wear proper eye and face and head protection
before heating and brazing the
joints. Any open pipe not being
brazed needs to remain capped.
Step 7. Brazing the assembly is a - Burns - Wear fire resistant gloves and clothing
