The hood also protects the eyes from the splashes and sparks that are released during welding.

Lab technicians examine various raw materials and products and often work in a laboratory or in a factory. While practicing this profession, there is a good chance that they will be exposed to harmful substances, which makes wearing safety glasses mandatory.
