Reasion for hard hats/neck gear in a fabrication work shop?

Question

Hey what are the reasons for head/neck gear in a fabrication work shop and what are the hazzards that could happen? thx

Answer 1

Fabrication shops usually make (fabricate) items out of metal. When working with metal (cutting, grinding, welding, etc...) tiny slivers of metal can going flying. You need to protect your eyes more than anything.

Answer 2

what are you fabricating?

Answer 3

depends on the kind of fabrication.  if there are hotwork tools being used then neck gear is essential, sparks can cause small yet sore burns on the skin and mean constant itching and scratching only causing more pain. head gear well, anything can fall on your head you can bang it standing up.  but it does depend on what kind of fabrication workshop?
