Electric Shock

A person may get an electric shock hazard if incidentally the hands or other part of the body create a bridge between the welding supply (e.g., the live welding electrode) and the welding return (e.g., workpiece) of the welding circuit/equipment. Increased electrical contact with the ground increases the risk of shock.

Sparks

The immediate danger welders encounter is the danger of burns on the body: Sparks can fly into shoes or eyes and cause injury. To protect the body from sparks, welders should wear high-necked, low flammability protective clothing, leather protective gloves and a welding helmet.

Hot Metal

Welders are frequently exposed to hot metals. There are several hazards to be aware of while you are working. The main hazards are inhalation of fumes, skin burns, eye hazards, and fires.

Welding arcs and flames emit intense visible, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation. UV radiation in a welding arc will burn unprotected skin just like UV radiation in sunlight. This hazard is true for direct exposure to UV radiation as well as radiation that is reflected from metal surfaces, walls, and ceilings.

Acute exposure to welding fume and gases can result in eye, nose and throat irritation, dizziness, and nausea. Health effects from certain fumes may include metal fume fever, stomach ulcers, kidney damage and nervous system damage. Prolonged exposure to manganese fume can cause Parkinson's-like symptoms.
