Welding related injuries such as burned skin, damage to internal organs, arc eye or arch flash and retinal tears are caused mainly by:
• mechanical damage from being struck by flying particles and chipped slag radiation;
• Photochemical burns are caused by ultraviolet radiation; infrared radiation and intense blue lights ; and
• Irritation and chemical burns are caused by fumes and chemicals.
Most welding produce potentially harmful ultraviolet, infrared, and visible spectrum radiation.
Damage from ultraviolet light can occur very quickly. It is normally absorbed in the cornea and lens of the eye.
Ultraviolet radiation often causes arc eye or arc flash, a very painful but seldom permanent injury. The symptoms of arc eye or arc flash are eye swelling, tearing, and pain.
