Welding Safely for Professionals and Beginners
Being too familiar with a piece of equipment or a particular task can sometimes lead to mistakes and injury; the same applies in a welding environment. Therefore, follow the rules of safety and be aware of the potential for personal damage at all times. Dealing with high temperatures and Ultra Violet (UV) rays requires a high degree of knowledge, awareness and protection and welding gloves are a part of the solution.
Welding is the process of melting the metal together; it is a procedure that creates a high degree of heat. Accordingly, adequate protection is needed, by the wearing of welding gloves, not only against the heat but in respect of potentially harmful UV rays produced during the welding process. There is a wide variety of gloves available, specifically designed for different types of welding processes. The majorities of quality gloves are manufactured from leather and provide covered protection for your hands and lower arms. Visit: Lincoln Welders for more details.
A welding respirator is a necessary part of welding protection, as the actual welding process, as well as preparation of the metal, has the potential for emitting dangerous fumes and debris, which are easily inhaled. By wearing a respirator or dust mask beneath your welding helmet, you can not only help in saving your lungs, but also the time involved in blowing waste matter from your nose after a working day in the shop!

A rogue spark is one that can fly under your helmet during the welding process. It is a painful experience and can cause unexpected personal damage when least expected. Therefore, safety glasses worn under your helmet provide the safe alternative, during a welding or grinding process. They could be the better alternative than a visit to an eye specialist for the removal of a piece of metal!
