Overhead Operations
During overhead welding operations, it is important to wear additional personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect against burns and falling objects.
- Wear leather caps under helmets to prevent head burns.
- Where the welder may be exposed to sharp or heavy falling objects attach hard hats or head protectors in such a way as to form a part of the welding helmet.
For more information on welding PPE, see the Personal Protective Equipment poster by Lincoln Electric.
