LES RAYONS D’ARC peuvent entraî- ner des brûlures aux yeux et à la peau. Le rayonnement de l’arc du procédé de soudage génère des rayons visibles et invisibles intenses (ultraviolets et infrarouges) susceptibles de provo- quer des brûlures dans les yeux et sur la peau. Des étincelles sont projetées pendant le soudage.
