V1.0
2. An opaque helmet will protect against the ultraviolet or infrared light. A
helmet will also protect against ejected hot material and slag. The
helmet should protect the face, forehead, ears and neck.
3. Wear a fire-resistant head covering like a skull cap or balaclava hood to
protect your head when the faceplate is down or when using a welding
hand-held face shield.
4. Wear ventilated safety goggles beneath the welding helmet or behind
the hand-held face shield. The cooling weld bead may fragment or eject
slag that can damage the eyes, when the helmet or hand-held face
shield is not in place.
4.1 Eye protection equipment should comply with CSA Z94.3-07 or ANSI
Z87.1 standards based on the type of work performed.
5. Wear fire resistant ear plugs when welding overhead to prevent spatter
or slag from falling into ears.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
1. Wear a leather apron or jacket, leather welding gloves and full foot
protection. Choose clothing fabrics that resist sparks, heat, flames and
splashes of molten material. Artificial fabrics may burn and melt, resulting in
a more severe injury.
1.1 Wear welding capes and sleeves when performing overhead welding.
2. Do not wear clothes or protective gear that are frayed, oily or greasy as
they may ignite from the heat or ejected slag and sparks.
3. Wear thick clothes that do not expose the skin. Ultraviolet or infrared
light can burn skin with sufficient exposure.
4. Do not wear clothing that can hold hot debris or sparks such as pant cuffs,
shirt pockets or boots. Choose clothing that has flaps over pockets or wear
clothing to cover the openings such as pant legs over the boots or an apron
over the shirt.
5. Gloves should contain an insulating lining to protect against an electric
shock.
6. Rubber soled footwear or electrically insulated work boots are
recommended while working with a welding machine. The non- skid sole
will also help maintain footing and balance during work.
6.1 Select boots with steel toe protection to prevent injury from falling
objects.
