2. WHAT IS (SMAW) WELDING ALL ABOUT?
 Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA
or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding or informally as stick welding, is a manual
arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the
weld.

3. THE SAFETY MEASURES OF WELDING
• Cap welding - is the common term used for the projection spot welding of the caps (or
lids) on electronic packages.

4. • Welding jackets and clothing are items of personal protective equipment (PPE) intended
to protect welders from metal splatter and high heat by the use of fire resistant and
thermally insulating materials.

5. • Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet - a welding helmet is one of the most important
pieces of personal protective equipment a welder can have. A good helmetprotects the
eyes and skin not only from severe sparks but also from potentially vision-damaging
ultraviolet and infrared rays emitted by the arc.

6. • Goggles, or safety glasses - are forms of protective eyewear that usually enclose or
protect the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals
from striking the eyes. They are used in chemistry laboratories and in woodworking.
They are often used in snow sports as well, and in swimming.

7. • leather apron such when you have any welding tasks. Half aprons offer protection
from the waist down, while full aprons protect your entire front. Choose a style that
offers a comfortable fit while working.

8. • Safety Shoes or Steel Toe - If in your job there’s a risk of burns caused by sparkles If in
your job it happens often that small objects fall on your feet, and you wish additional
protection, also to prevent things from entering your shoes.

9. • Welding gloves - are personal protective equipment (PPE) that protect the hands of
welders from the hazards of welding. These gloves allow digit articulation while
protecting the operator from electrical shock, extreme heat, and ultraviolet and infrared
radiation, and also provide abrasion resistance and enhanced grip.

10. • leather leggings are designed and constructed to provide full protection against the risk
of flying molten metal and glowing particles resulting from welding jobs or similar work.
The leggings are made of top-quality materials that are not harmful to the wearer's
health and hygiene.

11. • Face Mask also protects the wearer's nose and mouth from splashes or sprays of body
fluids and it also protect the health of welders from welding fumes.
