How to choose welding protection

The choice of welding protection mainly depends on the type of welding, the environment, the personal health of the worker, and the characteristics of the workplace. Here are some common welding protective equipment and their application

Goggles or face shield: Used to protect the eyes from flying metals, chemicals, or bright light. When performing arc or gas welding, use goggles with tinted lenses or a special mask with dark lenses to prevent harmful light or excessive light from harming the eyes.

Protective gloves: Used to protect hands from cutting, abrasion, or heat.

Safety helmet: Used to protect the head from falling objects, impacts, or other potential injuries.

Earplugs: Used to protect the ears from noise.

Mask: used to filter inhaled air to prevent inhalation of harmful gases or dust.

Shawls and foot coverings: When performing handlebar welding and second shield welding, it is necessary to wear shawls and foot coverings to prevent heat conduction to other parts of the body.
