What to do if a hole is opened during electrical welding
During electrical welding operations, if your eyes are accidentally injured by arc light or spatter (commonly known as "eye-opening"), you need to take corrective measures immediately. The following are the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days regarding the handling methods and precautions for electrical welding drilling, presented in structured data.
1. Common symptoms of electrical welding holes
| Symptoms | Description |
|---|---|
| eye pain | Burning or severe pain, especially when exposed to bright light |
| Photophobia and tears | Can't open my eyes and can't stop crying |
| blurred vision | Temporary vision loss or blurred vision |
| Blepharospasm | Eyelids twitch involuntarily |
2. Emergency treatment methods for electrical welding holes
| steps | Specific operations |
|---|---|
| 1. Stop the operation immediately | Stay away from the welding area to avoid secondary damage |
| 2. Apply cold compress to eyes | Wrap ice cubes in a clean towel and apply cold compresses for 10-15 minutes each time |
| 3. Artificial tear flushing | Flush eyes with sterile saline or artificial tears |
| 4. Avoid rubbing your eyes | Rubbing your eyes can aggravate corneal damage |
| 5. Medical examination | Go to the ophthalmology department for a professional examination within 24 hours |
3. Measures to prevent electrical welding holes
| protective measures | Description |
|---|---|
| Wear a qualified protective mask | Use an auto-darkening welding mask (recommended grade DIN4+) |
| Wear complete protective equipment | Including welding gloves, protective clothing, etc. |
| Set up isolation barriers | Set up warning signs and isolation tapes in the work area |
| keep an appropriate distance | Non-working personnel should keep a safe distance of at least 3 meters |
4. Common misunderstandings and correct understandings
| Misunderstanding | facts |
|---|---|
| Eye drops of human milk can be used to treat | No scientific basis, may cause infection |
| Hot compress is required after eye surgery | It will aggravate the inflammatory reaction and must be treated with cold compresses |
| No need to seek medical treatment for minor eye punches | All electro-optic ophthalmia require professional examination |
5. Things to note during recovery
1.Strictly avoid light: During the recovery period, you need to wear anti-UV glasses to avoid strong light stimulation.
2.Take medicine on time: Use antibiotic eye drops and drugs to promote corneal repair as directed by your doctor.
3.Get enough rest: Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep every day to avoid eye fatigue.
4.diet conditioning: Eat more foods rich in vitamin A (such as carrots, animal liver).
5.Regular review: Even if symptoms disappear, recheck to confirm complete corneal healing.
6. Professional medical advice
According to the advice of ophthalmologists from tertiary hospitals: Electric welding of eyes isphotoophthalmia, which is essentially corneal epithelial damage caused by ultraviolet rays. Mild symptoms usually resolve on their own within 24-48 hours, but severe cases may cause corneal ulcers. You must seek medical attention immediately if:
• Pain that persists for more than 12 hours without relief
• Presence of purulent discharge
• Significant loss of vision
• accompanied by headache and nausea
Final reminder: Protection must be taken during electrical welding operations. Once eye damage occurs, correct treatment can avoid sequelae. It is recommended that enterprises organize regular safety training and equip welders with emergency medical kits.
