\"Ye<\/a>
Ye Olde Welding Goggles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you’re like me, when you think back to when you first started out in the weld shop, you cringe remembering how much you ignored welding safety… \u00a0either because you didn’t know any better, you were young and thought you were invincible, or because the products (and the knowledge) just wasn’t available.<\/p>\n

Case in point: \u00a0the welding goggles featured in this photo. \u00a0Clunky, and uncomfortable to wear… \u00a0it seemed easier for tack weld to just avert your eyes!<\/p>\n

Now, fortunately, the welding safety products are more comfortable and more innovative.<\/p>\n

Joe Welder’s\u00a0Favorite Welding Safety Products<\/h2>\n
\"The
The Half Mask Respirator from Miller<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the best things that\u2019s come onto the market revolve around\u00a0respiratory safety. \u00a0From dust masks, to the\u00a0Half Mask Respirator that fits under most helmets<\/a>\u00a0to Miller’s PAPR system…<\/a>.<\/a> We wrote a more extensive post about that last week, “Respiratory Welding Safety Basics”<\/a>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These products are great, e<\/span>specially \u00a0when you are working with old dusty, rusty metal and MIG gun. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Safety<\/a>
Safety Glasses for Welding (and more)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even safety glasses<\/a> have come a long way since the old days. \u00a0And you KNOW you should be wearing them any time you’re sanding, filing, grinding, using an air hose–anytime you need to protect yourself from debris. \u00a0It u<\/span>sed to be the lens quality was bad and they were uncomfortable. Now the optics are much better, and they are inexpensive, so if you scratch them you can replace them pretty easily\u2026 not the big investment they used to be. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Welding<\/a>I also really appreciate a good f<\/a>lame retardant welding jacket<\/a>. \u00a0The newer jackets are c<\/span>omfortable, but loose fitting for great range of motion while protecting your arms and neck from sparks and arc burn. \u00a0(that’s me on the left with my Miller Welding jacket, but I also really like the the BSX jacket with the red-flame sleeves.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Ear plugs are also great to have around. \u00a0You can keep a pair in your pocket, and slip them in whenever you’re running loud machinery. \u00a0Not like the old days when you’d have those big bulky head-phone-like things– that didn’t fit under your hood or your hard hat.<\/p>\n

These are just a couple of my favorites… \u00a0I really appreciate the technology behind the newer auto-darkening welding helmets, but I’ll save that for another post.<\/p>\n

Check out Arc-Zone’s \u00a0Welding Safety Education <\/a>section where you’ll find downloadable (and free) PDFs that cover Eye Protection and Fume Control (and more!) and our collection of Safety Guides, \u00a0Operations Manuals, and MSDS sheets.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
