PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

.

Eye and Face Protection - General

Sometimes it is hard to recognize injury from light radiation. It is an easily preventable hazard if it is identified.

Each affected employee shall use equipment with filter lenses that have a shade number appropriate for the work being performed to protect them from injurious light radiation.

29 CFR 1910.133 includes a table that identifies the various shades and thickness of lenses for welding.
For more information see "Filter Lens Shade Number Guide". To access this document, click on the "Welding" selection on the main menu.
