Metal fabrication is the
development of metal structures through procedures of cutting, bending and
assembly. It is a method of added value that involves the development of machines,
components, and constructions from different raw materials.
Careless use of metal
fabrication tools causes many accidents. Handling metal fabrication tools is
not a child play. Use of protective equipment’s for the fabrication process
will reduce the chances of accidents, injuries and health issues.
Let's look at some of the
safety measures used in metal manufacturing factories and businesses by metal
manufacturers.
Ø Goggles or safety glasses
It is a type of protective eyewear’s that generally encloses
or defends the region around the eye to avoid eye hitting by particulates,
water or chemicals.
Ø Flame-resistant gloves
Flame resistant gloves are work gloves designed to
protect workers' hands from burns or other injuries, or from being exposed to
high temperatures in the workplace.
Ø Earplugs/ ear muffs

ears for hearing protection or for warmth.
Ø Welding helmet
A welding helmet is a type of headgear used when
performing certain types of welding to protect the eyes, face, and neck from
flash burn, ultraviolet light, sparks, infrared light,

slipping when walking on greasy, oily or humid floors.
