SAFETY EQUIPMENT
EYE AND BODY PROTECTION
One of the hazards during the welding/cutting process is the emission of
electromagnetic waves due to the electric arc. The length of these waves
ranges from infrared to ultraviolet. If these rays hit the eyes, they can cause
various complaints such as conjunctivitis, burns to the retina, deterioration of
sight, etc. Moreover a high concentration of ultraviolet rays can burn the skin.
It is, therefore, extremely important that the operator uses adequate safety
equipment and clothing, such as:
• Leather gloves
• Leather aprons
• Safety shoes
• Safety mask (or even better helmet) large enough to cover the
whole of the face, equipped with safety lenses able to filter all the
radiation and reduce the intensity of the light absorbed by the eye.
IMPORTANT: safety screens should be installed around the welding area to
protect other people, who may be working in adjacent areas, from the
radiation given out by the arc.
CAUTION: NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, LOOK AT AN ELECTRIC
ARC WITHOUT EYE PROTECTION.
CAUTION: A FURTHER HAZARD FOR EYES IS THE RISK OF SPLINTERS OR
PARTICLES WHICH MAY BE DETACHED DURING THE CUTTING
OPERATIONS OR DURING GRINDING, BRUSHING OR HAMMERING AWAY
OF THE SCALE.ALWAYS WEAR GOGGLES OR PROTECTIVE SHIELDS WITH
TRANSPARENT LENSES DURING THESE OPERATIONS TO PREVENT
SPLINTERS OR OTHER FOREIGN BODIES FROM ENTERING THE EYE.
