Welding is all about joining metals or thermoplastics using heat. The heating process involves melting the parts of the material near the joint. Welding processes are subject to many dangers. Welders need to wear protective gear such as gloves, helmet, clothes, and most importantly, protective welding lenses.

Dangers Involved in Welding

• Welders are at great risk of exposure to bright light that can lead to blindness
• Being hit by metals while working
• Burns from high temperatures flames involved in the welding process.
• Partial or total blindness resulting from exposure to visible, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation

Protection From Bright Light – Why You Need an Auto Darkening Welding Lenses

Protecting your eyes from bright light is one of the most important safety precautions all welders should take. Every welder should have his or her welding glasses on at all times. Welding glasses serve a significant role in welding. They ensure that the eyes are not exposed to visible ultraviolet and infrared radiations (bright light), which can lead to eye problems. There is a special auto darkening lens, which serves to ensure that:

1. You can see what you are working in without necessarily having to move the helmet
2. You do not strain your head hence leading to some stress on the neck. Auto-darkening welding lenses are designed a way that you do not have to remove the helmet when wearing lenses since they are bound together.
3. The welder can monitor puddle while welding
4. A welder can use them for both MIG and
