Question: A welder is setting up for an SMAW arc welding project on a new steel structure. Which personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential for protecting their eyes from welding radiation?
Answer options:
- UV-protective sunglasses
- Clear impact-resistant safety glasses ✅ Welding helmet with a proper shade filter
- Tinted sports goggles
Correct answer: Welding helmet with a proper shade filter
Explanation: A welding helmet equipped with the correct shade filter is fundamental for protecting a welder's eyes from the intense ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, as well as the visible light, produced during arc welding. Sunglasses, clear safety glasses, or tinted sports goggles do not offer adequate protection from the severe radiation of a welding arc.
