Obvious one is ofcourse that the safety glasses shield the eyes from sparks and splashed hot material.
Another very important reason is that during the welding process ultraviolet rays are emitted and can and do cause harm to the retina and other parts of the eye.
In fact, one should not look directly at the welding process even from some distance without protecting the eyes.

Ultimately, the responsibility for a welder's safety lies with both the employer and the individual welder. Employers must provide a safe working environment, appropriate safety training, and necessary protective equipment.

Safety glass are made to be worn in situations where there is some danger of things flying into the eyes. They are large enough to fit over regular glasses and made of break-resistant materials.
so that they can protect their eyes from harmful electromagnetic radiations.
The average lifespan of professional welders can vary significantly based on factors such as their working environment, health practices, and exposure to hazards. Generally, welders may have a lifespan similar to the general population, but they might face increased risks from respiratory issues, musculoskeletal disorders, and exposure to harmful substances. Proper safety measures and health management can help mitigate these risks and promote a longer, healthier life for welders.
