PERSONAL SAFETY

WARNING! Wear personal protective equipment approved by the
Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or American National
Standards Institute (ANSI).
HEAD PROTECTION
DANGER! Never look directly at the welding arc without the
proper protection. The light can cause flash burn damage and
impair vision. Although treatment is possible, multiple
occurrences can result in permanent eye damage.
1. Protect your eyes from welding light by wearing a welder's helmet
fitted with a filter shade suitable for the type of welding you are
doing. The welding process produces intense white light, infrared
and ultraviolet light, these arc rays can burn both eyes and skin.
1.1. Consult the Welding Shade Guide in Appendix A for the
minimum shade to protect the eyes based on the amperage
and type of welding.
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 ear.
