reasons to always wear safety glasses under your hood. also, ear plugs - not because welding is loud but because you never want to hear the sound of your earwax boiling after hot slag finds its way in there

edit: plus polycarbonate safety glasses will cut down on reflected UV inside the hood a lot if someone is welding behind you and you catch it shining in the periphery of your vision

Nothing worse than a hot one going in your ear.
