All welding operations come with a list of hazards associated with the task. Many of these operations produce flying debris, intense heat and sparks - which may potentially result in facial injuries and burns.
To combat the chances of getting seriously injured, the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn. Proper PPE includes:
- Long sleeves to cover the arms,
- Face shields to protect the eyes and the face, and
- Gloves to protect the hands.
