ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultra-
violet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the
weld.
� Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your face
and eyes when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Principal Safety
Standards). Refer to Lens Shade Selection table in Section 1-4.
�
Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
�
Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and sparks; warn others
not to watch the arc.
�
Wear body protection made from durable, flame-resistant material (leather, heavy cotton,
wool). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless
trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
