ARC RAYS -- Can injure eyes and burn skin.
The arc, like the sun, emits ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and can injure
skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns. Training in the proper use of
the processes and equipment is essential to prevent accidents. Therefore:
1. Wear a welding helmet tted with a proper shade of lter to protect your face and
eyes when welding or watching.
2. Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
3. Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lter lens sensitivity to meet the applica-
tion. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc and not to expose themselves to the rays
of the electric-arc or hot metal.
4. Wear protective clothing made from durable, ame-resistant material. A ameproof
apron may also be desirable as protection against radiated heat and sparks.
5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with a suitable non-ammable
partition or curtains.
6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or grinding. Chipped slag may
be hot and can y far. Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.
