Protect your Welders from Welding Fume

 

There is officially a lower Workplace Exposure Standard for welding fume in Australia: this 1mg/m3 limit is not optional, it is the law enforced by Health and Safety Regulators. It also sends a clear message to other countries that welding fume is serious, and action is required.

 

Welding Helmets with Powered Air Respiratory Protection have been proven to be the most effective product control method to reduce exposure to the welder with a 99.96% minimum reduction in welding fume and an effective protection factor at least 52 times better than the required minimum protection factor in the Australian and New Zealand Standard^.

 

If you are looking for the most effective method to control your welders’ exposure to welding fume, look no further than the range of 3M Speedglas Welding Helmets with Powered Air Respiratory Protection.
