Why do we use PPE in welding?

We use personal protective equipment (PPE) in welding to ensure the safety and health of welders by protecting them from various hazards. Welding processes generate intense heat, harmful UV radiation, and flying sparks, which can cause burns and eye injuries. Additionally, PPE helps guard against exposure to toxic fumes and gases produced during welding. Wearing appropriate PPE, such as helmets, gloves, and protective clothing, minimizes the risk of injury and promotes a safer working environment.
