What type of eyewear is recommended for safety protection under a welding helmet during tasks other than welding?

The recommended eyewear for safety protection under a welding helmet during tasks other than welding is clear safety glasses. Clear safety glasses provide a crucial layer of protection for the eyes against potential hazards from flying particles, dust, or light debris that could cause injury. They are designed to fit comfortably under a welding helmet without obstructing the helmet's function or fit.

While shaded goggles are important during the welding process itself to protect against the intense light and UV radiation, they are not necessary for general tasks that do not involve welding. Polycarbonate lenses offer strength and impact resistance, which makes them a good choice for safety glasses, but the emphasis is on clear eyewear for visibility and protection during non-welding activities. Regular prescription glasses lack the safety features necessary to provide adequate protection in a workshop environment. Therefore, clear safety glasses are the ideal choice for maintaining safety while allowing workers to see clearly as they perform tasks that do not involve active welding.
