The Importance Of Welding Safety

Whenever you are welding, safety is key. MIG, TIG, and stick/arc welding, as well as plasma cutting,g produce intense visible light, as well as invisible ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light. While the naked eye cannot see either UV and IR light, they can cause varying levels of damage, including burns and more severe issues such as arc eye and serious illness.

Protect yourself and those around you with our range of safety products and accessories.

Helmets And Goggles

Wearing a helmet during welding helps to protect your eyes, face and neck from things such as burns, sparks, heat, debris and optical radiation and damage, such as retina burns, including arc eye. If you’re plasma cutting, goggles and face shields are great options. Welding without eye protection is a big no-no!

Dynaweld offers a great range of Bossweld and BossSafe helmets, goggles and more, including the Bossweld Black Lift Front Helmet and the Bossweld Gas Shielding Flip Up Goggles.

Respirators

If inhaled, fumes caused by welding can cause serious health problems. Short-term exposure can cause nausea, dizziness and irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, while long-term exposure can lead to serious illness.

The various contaminants in welding fumes, especially those found when working with galvanized steel are carcinogens and can lead to melanoma of the eye, as well as lung and other cancers.
