Are welders required to wear safety glasses under their welding helmets?
Yes. The face shield or helmet protects the wearer from the welding glare, but does not protect the wearer from sparks produced by the welding. Additional eye protection is required.
ANSI/ASC Z49.1-88 states at 4.2.1, in part, that “Helmets or hand shields with filter lenses ... shall be used by operators ... Safety spectacles with side shields, goggles or other suitable eye protection shall also be worn.”
