An automotive technician is setting up an oxy-acetylene torch to cut through a damaged exhaust pipe bracket. Which type of eye protection is specifically required to protect against both flying sparks and the optical radiation produced during oxy-fuel cutting?

  1. A
    Clear impact-resistant safety glasses with side shields
  2. Shaded cutting goggles with a filter lens rating of Shade 4 to 5Cevap
  3. C
    An electric arc welding helmet fitted with a Shade 10 to 12 filter lens
  4. D
    Standard polarized consumer sunglasses with ultraviolet coating

Cevap

Shaded cutting goggles with a filter lens rating of Shade 4 to 5
Oxy-acetylene torch cutting generates intense visible glare, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, and hot slag sparks. According to industrial shop safety standards, oxy-fuel cutting and gas welding operations require protective eyewear equipped with a Shade 4 to 5 filter lens to prevent optical damage while maintaining necessary visibility.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary hazards present during oxy-acetylene torch cutting
The process produces hazardous infrared and ultraviolet radiation, intense visible light, and flying sparks or slag.
Proper PPE selection requires evaluating both the optical radiation and physical impact risks of the task.
2
Select the appropriate optical filter shade level for gas cutting operations
Standard automotive shop safety standards mandate a Shade 4 or 5 filter lens for oxy-fuel cutting.
A Shade 4 to 5 lens adequately filters harmful radiant emissions while preserving sufficient visibility of the cut line.
