Welding Shields. These shield assemblies consist of vulcanized fiber or glass fiber body, a ratchet/button type adjustable headgear or cap attachment and a filter and cover plate holder. These shields will be provided to protect workers' eyes and face from infrared or radiant light burns, flying sparks, metal spatter and slag chips encountered during welding, brazing, soldering, resistance welding, bare or shielded electric arc welding and oxyacetylene welding and cutting operations.

Then go to a lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone without going below the minimum. In oxyfuel gas welding or cutting where the torch produces a high yellow light, it is desirable to use a filter lens that absorbs the yellow or sodium line in the visible light of the (spectrum) operation. Selection chart guidelines for eye and face protection The following provides general guidance for the proper selection of eye and face protection to protect against hazards associated with the listed hazard "source" operations. Source Hazard Protection IMPACT - Chipping, Spectacles with side grinding machining, masonry Flying fragments, objects, protection, goggles, face work, woodworking, sawing, large chips, particles, sand, shield drilling, chiseling, powered dirt, etc. For severe exposure, use face fastening, riveting, and shield sanding Faceshields,, spectacles with HEAT-Furnace operation Hot sparks side. For severe exposure use and arc welding faceshield. CHEMICALS-Acid and Goggles, eyecup and cover chemical handling, Splash types. For severe exposure, degreasing, plating use face shield. DUST - Woodworking, Goggles, eye cup and cover buffing, general,buffing, Nuisance dust type general dusty conditions. Head Protection
