Why take a welding quiz

Welders are at risk for a variety of injuries, including arc eye, flash burns, and respiratory problems. Arc eye, also known as welding flash, is an injury to the cornea caused by the ultraviolet radiation from the arc. It can cause severe pain, a foreign body sensation, light sensitivity, and blurry vision. The best way to prevent arc eye is to wear welding goggles with a Shade 10 filter. Flash burns are burns that occur when the welder's clothing catches on fire. The best way to prevent flash burns is to wear flame-resistant clothing, including a welding apron and welding gloves. Respiratory problems can be caused by the gases and fumes from the welding process. The best way to prevent respiratory problems is to wear a respirator. Welders should also avoid drinking alcohol and smoking before welding, because both of these activities increase the risk of respiratory problems.
