    Welding can be hazardous if proper safety precautions are not followed. Operators should be aware of electrocution risks, eye damage from UV light, burns from hot sparks and metal, and inhalation of toxic fumes. Proper protective equipment, such as flash goggles, flame-resistant clothing, gloves, and boots can help reduce these risks. The work area also needs adequate ventilation and a fire extinguisher nearby.
