of improving operator safety. They should
be considered only as a basic guide to
Safe Working Habits. A full list of Standards
pertaining to industry is available from
the Standards Association of Australia,

Eye Protection
NEVER LOOK AT AN ARC WITHOUT
PROTECTION. Wear a helmet with safety
goggles or glasses with side shields
underneath, with appropriate filter lenses
protected by clear cover lens. This is a
MUST for welding, cutting, and chipping to
protect the eyes from radiant energy and
flying metal. Replace the cover lens when
broken, pitted, or spattered.
