🔍 Key Concepts

• Hazards of electric arc welding including heat, light, and electricity • Effects of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation on the eyes during welding • Typical shipboard welding risk assessments: fire, shock, and personal injury

💭 Think About

• Think about what dangers are created by the extremely high temperature and intense light of an electric arc • Consider how electric current is used in arc welding and what could go wrong if equipment or procedures are not perfect • Ask yourself whether safety procedures and PPE are designed to protect against just one, or several, different kinds of hazards

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify at least three distinct types of hazards commonly listed on welding safety datasheets or training posters • Recall what specific type of eye injury is associated with bright arcs and UV radiation • Check whether shipboard safety guidance treats welding as primarily a single hazard or as a combination of multiple hazards that must be controlled together
