Is spatter from welding dangerous if it gets into your eyes?

"Spatter" refers to the droplets or particles that are expelled during welding. Apart from being hot, spatter contains metal droplets and metal dust particles, which can pose a danger to anyone who comes into contact with them. Spatter is commonly seen in manufacturing processes in various industries, such as cutting and welding steel during production, spatter from electrical short circuits, or handling raw materials.

Spatter from welding entering the eye can indeed be dangerous in the long term. Because the spatter from welding consists of metal fragments, when it enters the eye, small fragments can cause irritation. However, larger fragments may require removal as they can cause severe eye irritation. Initially, these fragments may be flushed out as eye debris, but prolonged accumulation can affect vision. Additionally, if spatter comes into contact with high-temperature materials, it can cause eye burns.

It is advisable to wear protective equipment whenever working with tasks involving spatter, such as cutting or welding metal. Particularly, special protection should be worn over the face and body to prevent spatter-related hazards. Cowhide leather garments, for instance, offer 100% protection against welding spatter and can also protect against sparks.
