Why Powered Air Respiratory Protection?

Welding fume is a known carcinogen and while the dangers of welding fume are very real, once qualified, and quantified, protecting your health can be straightforward. Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) can provide air over 50 times cleaner than the air inhaled by an unprotected welder. When compared to disposable and reusable half facemask respiratory protection, PAPRs provide superior respiratory protection and do not require fit-testing. Protecting welders’ eyes, faces and lungs, 3M Speedglas Powered Air Respiratory Welding Helmets are the benchmark in the welding industry: proudly worn by over one million active welders around the world.

Powered air respiratory protection is an investment in your health and safety.

Educating the Next Generation

As part of the Student Powered Air Program, AWS technical specialists and welding fume product control experts are available to train and educate students and teachers at educational institutions (such as TAFE) on the benefits of welding helmets with powered air purifying respirators and other welding fume product controls.
