Keep you and Your Welders Safe with the Right Safety Equipment 

What Safety Equipment is Really Necessary for A Successful Welder 

Welders Helmet 

A welding helmet, sometimes known as a "hood," is one of the most crucial pieces of personal protective equipment for a welder. A good helmet shields the eyes and skin from flying sparks and possibly vision-damaging UV and infrared radiation the arc releases.

Welders and their clothing are shielded from sparks created during welding by protective jackets. Jackets should be made of flame-resistant (FR) textiles that retain their protective properties even after exposure to intense sparks, high heat, and molten metal daily.

Welding pants protect a welder from serious burns if sparks or spatter pass through the safety gear worn as main protection.

The major objective of wearing welding boots is to protect the wearer from electric shock, flames, heat, molten metal splatter, and other hazards. A good pair of welding boots is constructed of durable leather and can withstand temperatures of up to 570°F for roughly a minute.

Welding gloves are personal protective equipment (PPE) that shield welders' hands from welding risks. These gloves allow for digit articulation while shielding the user from electrical shock, intense heat, and ultraviolet and infrared radiation, providing abrasion resistance and better grip.

Using loud equipment can take a toll on your hearing, and wearing proper ear protection like ear muffs or ear plugs can help you avoid permanent damage to your hearing. 

Respirator masks reduce operator discomfort and safety by filtering weld fumes and particulates from the air. For optimal comfort and portability, Miller welding respirators are intended to fit under the welding helmet or incorporate airflow into the helmet system.
