Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

When you have a welding shop, everything is arranged properly, all the tools are kept properly in their respective places. It becomes easy for a welder to work. But if he is out in the field, everything is not arranged as per welder’s requirement which can lead to accident. To protect against accidents while using a portable welder it is important that welder wears protective equipment.

The most obvious danger of welding – whether with an oxyacetylene torch or with a MIG or TIG welding, is the risk of eyes. So the first safety precaution should be protecting your own eyes and eyes of others. The best way to protect your eyes is by wearing welding helmet. Welding helmets come in standard or auto-adjusted versions.

When using portable welders, you have to protect your eyes as well as of others. If you are welding at home or on a farm, you have to protect the eyes of animals as well, who will look at the welding arc and will not understand to look away, and thus experience arc flash. When possible, move animals from the area, if possible set up opaque welding curtains around the work site. Always keep an extra helmet if any of visitors want to talk with you urgently while welding.
