This is a welder at his workshop in Nigeria quite all right but what his got on isn't commonplace in our society which readily arouses comments such as "what does anyone need this kind of gadget for when other colleagues do the same with their hands as shield or goggles at most!". Others ask why all this complex stuff just a waste of resources. The difference remains at fundamental understanding on the part of management and commitment towards the health of their employees. There is documented evidence to show that welders are more at risk of developing very severe lung problems , vision disturbances, burns and musculoskeletal problems. This brings about questions what are he statistics like in our own country - Nigeria. You only need to Google "Welding jobs in Nigeria" to give you an idea of how available these jobs yet possible number of people exposed: - undetermined. Thoughts of whose keeping watch over the health of these workers keeps racing in my head.
