Eye protection Plasma arc rays produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burneyes and skin.
• Use eye protection in accordance with applicable national and local codes.
• Wear eye protection (safety glasses or goggles with side shields, and a welding helmet) with appropriate lensshading to protect your eyes
from the arc’s ultraviolet and infrared rays.
Skin protection Wear protective clothing to protect against burns caused by ultraviolet light, sparks, and hotmetal.
• Gauntlet gloves, safety shoes and hat.
• Flame-retardant clothing to cover all exposed areas.
• Cuff less trousers to prevent entry of sparks and slag.
• Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches, from your pockets before cutting.
Cutting area Prepare the cutting area to reduce reflection and transmission of ultraviolet light:
• Paint walls and other surfaces with dark colors to reduce reflection.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare.
• Warn others not to watch the arc. Use placards orsigns.
