Can you get flash burn from grinding?

Yes, you can get flash burn from grinding, particularly if you're grinding materials that produce intense sparks or heat. Flash burn typically occurs when the eyes are exposed to intense light, like that from welding or cutting, but the heat and flying debris from grinding can also irritate the eyes and skin. It's important to wear appropriate protective gear, such as safety goggles and face shields, to minimize the risk of injury. Always prioritize safety measures when performing tasks that generate heat and debris.
