Noise
Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Welding processes can cause noise levels that exceed safe limits. You must
protect your ears from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of hearing.
• To protect your hearing from loud noise, wear protective ear plugs and/or ear muffs.
• Noise levels should be measured to be sure the decibels (sound) do not exceed safe levels.
