Head and Face Protection

Industrial safety helmets are an essential item in many workplaces such as building, mining, forestry and factory sites where a worker’s head may be struck by a falling object or against a fixed object. Safety helmets are also used in hot working environments or to protect against electrical hazards.

Depending on the type of work you do you may require additional accessories for added protection:

Eyeshield, faceshield, welding shield

A very wide brim for hot climates

Neck flaps for weather protection, molten metal and other hot substances

Earmuffs

The life of a hard hat shell is generally three (3) years from date of issue (not manufacture). AS/NZS 1801 recommends that head harnesses be replaced every two (2) years. Replacement time is dependant on the use and care of the hard hat. Any hard hat showing signs of damage, discolouration or weathering prior to these replacement times should be replaced immediately.

Helmets that comply with the ‘thermal performance requirements’ of AS/NZ 1801:1997 Occupational Protective Helmets. Can be used for hot environments and are suitable for steel-making and similar industries. An important feature of the helmet design is that all the edges are smooth and have no sharp protrusions. For general purpose use, choose white helmets as they provide better heat reflection and can be seen in poor lighting conditions.

Bump caps are used in factories with overhanging machinery (such as meat processing). They do not absorb the same level of impact as the safety helmet and should not be used as a substitute.

For more information on head protection refer to Australian/New Zealand Standards: AS/NZ 1800, Occupational Protective Helmets AS/NZ 1801:1997.

Of course, choosing the right head and face protection depends on the type of environment you work in. For an assessment contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 0800 723 378. BOC can also arrange to emboss your company logo on helmets (minimum order quantity applies).

BOC accepts no liability for the incorrect choice of personal protective equipment. This information is a guide only. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure they have sought professional advice in relation to the use of products in a particular environment.

a welding helmet that breathesThe revolutionary Speedglas 9000 helmet series features four aerodynamic exhaust vents to remove exhaled air without letting in welding fumes. For welders who keep their helmets in the down position for prolonged periods of time, the build-up of carbon dioxide (CO2) is greatly reduced compared to traditional helmet designs. Users feel more energetic and clear-headed all day long. The 9000s’ breathability allowed the helmet to be designed for a close-to-the-face fit, for optimum vision and reduced neck strain. And the helmet's narrow width makes it ideal for welding in tight spots.

More windows on the world: Speedglas SideWindowsThe first time a welder puts on a Speedglas 9000 helmet with SideWindows you can see his startled reaction. The welder suddenly realises he can still see around himself. Previously, hidden peripheral hazards (beams, obstacles, other workers) are now visible through the two shade 5 side filters. Welders can quickly and safely move around their work areas. Helmets stay in the safe, down position more often, providing that much more protection from harmful UV/IR radiation.

Speedglas® flexviewIdeal for poor lighting conditions

The Speedglas FlexView has a big 120 x 90 mm clear polycarbonate plate that is ideal for a precision weld under low light conditions. The user simply lifts up the spring-mounted Speedglas filter assembly for weld prep. The spring holds the auto-darkening filter securely on top of the helmet, giving the welder a big, clear view behind the FlexView protection plate.

upgrade Speedglas 9000 helmets to flexView

Existing Speedglas 9000 helmets can be easily transformed using the Speedglas FlexView Conversion Kit to install both the welding filter holder and the clear polycarbonate plate.

Impact resistant

The clear FlexView protection plate conforms to Australian Standards. The polycarbonate lens is appropriate for grinding, sanding, cleaning and drilling, as well as the protected inspection of newly-completed welds.

Speedglas® Protopa perfectly balanced safety helmet for welders

Speedglas ProTop, a combination of safety helmet, welding visor and auto-darkening filter, is especially designed for welders working in areas with overhead hazards, such as cranes, protruding beams and moving machinery.

The key to the Speedglas ProTop system is the exclusive pivot mechanism that connects the welding visor to the safety helmet. Traditional welding safety helmets create a heavy forward centre-of-gravity when the welding visor is raised; as a result, the user feels off-balance, and the leveraged weight puts additional strain on neck muscles.

The ProTop pivot mechanism has two sets of axes; one to lift the welding visor away from the welder's face, and another axis to’nest’ the welding visor down low over the safety helmet in a perfectly balanced, locked-down position. The welding visor automatically unlocks when the welder pulls it back down into position over the face.

Introducing the Speedglas® 9002 Series

from low-amp inverters to high-amp welding and cuttingThrough comprehensive research and development, we have combined the low-amp TIG inverter performance of the Speedglas 9000Xi with the wide versatility and features of the 9000V and 9000X to create the 9002 series.

More user-friendly choices than ever beforeFour different user-selectable levels of detector sensitivity are now available for each of the five dark shade levels. For example, for a low-amp, stable arc, the filter can be set to shade 9 with a sensitivity of 4. In other situations, you can set the detectors to be less sensitive, for example when doing MIG welding with a few welders working close by.

The new detectors increase the welding filter's sensitivity range for the most reliable switching over the widest range of welding processes, including extremely stable arcs. This feature excels in applications where the arc is partially obscured by pipes, tubes or the welder’s hands. In addition, the 9002 series has a new delay function that lets the user decide how quickly the filter changes from dark to light.

No compromises neededThe new control buttons enhance adjustment of the filter’s shade, sensitivity, delay, and on/off functions for personal settings. By selecting just the right settings for each task, the welder reduces eye strain and improves the quality of every weld. All of these options are about user comfort, personal preference, and having the filter perform exactly the way the welder wants for each specific welding application.

are you exposed to harmful radiation?Do you handle equipment that gives off ultra-violet radiation?

Are you at risk of chemicals splashing into your eyes?

Do you spend a lot of time working outdoors?

Are you exposed to flying fragments?

When choosing eyewear protection, think about the following:

What is the nature of the risk to your eyes?

What are the conditions you will be working in?

What are the visual requirements of the task?

What is your personal preference (e.g. comfort, look, style, weight, ventilation)?

What is your eyesight like?

Recommended eye ProtectionIf you are exposed to a recognised eye injury risk at work, then a safety program should be introduced. The purpose of such an eye safety program should be to protect the workers’ eyes through either elimination or control of hazards. Where it is not possible to eliminate or control these eye hazards, personal eye protectors should be worn at all times.

Low impact safety spectacles provide protection from low velocity flying particles, with added side shields providing additional protection against low velocity flying particles and stray radiation from welding operations.

However, wearing low impact safety spectacles should only be the minimum method of protection. It is not the design or intention of low impact safety spectacles to provide protection against particles of medium or high impact velocity and energy. For greater protection, it is recommended that the worker wear goggles, wide-vision spectacles, wide vision goggles, eye shield, face shield or hood. If you require protection against excessive sun glare or glare from visible radiation, then a tinted lens should be used.

For more information on eye protection, refer to Australian Standards AS 1336, AS/NZS 1337 Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications and AS/NZS 1338 Filters for Eye Protection.

Naturally, choosing the right eye protection depends on the type of environment you work in. For more information, contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 0800 723 378.

Hearing Protection

Your ear is a delicate instrument. Tiny ‘hair cells’ vibrate when sounds reach them. Hair cells relay sound to the brain through the auditory nerve.

Loud or frequent noises damage the hair cells. Over time, excessive noise may cause the cells to die. Then the auditory nerve cannot pick up the sound and relay it to the brain. Very loud noises, such as jet engines and gun-fire, can damage hearing very quickly.

Other noises damage only after you’ve been around them for hours. A noise that is 85 decibels won’t hurt you in the short run, but if you’re around it for eight hours or more, you need hearing protection.

An essential part of hearing protection is a hearing protection program. Details of such a program are found in AS 1269. For further information, refer to Australian/New Zealand Standards: AS/NZ 1269 Occupational Noise Management and AS/NZ 1270 Acoustics – Hearing Protectors.

Of course, choosing the right hearing protection depends on the type of environment you work in. For more information, contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 0800 723 378.

Noise is measured in units called decibels (dB). Here are some decibel levels of common noises:

34 dB – a quiet room

60 dB – normal conversation

75 dB – auto traffic

85 dB – sanding

90 dB – subway

100 dB – woodworking tools

110 dB – power tools

120 dB – gunfire

10 Safety Equipment


Respiratory Protection

there are two ways of providing respiratory protection against dusts, fumes and gases.



Do you use chemicals at work?Respirators are designed to protect the wearer against one or more of the following hazards:

Deficiency of oxygen

Contaminants in particulate form

Contaminants in gaseous form

■

■

■


1. air Purifying Respirators

These respirators purify the air using filters. The choice of filters depends on the level of contaminants in the air. Sometimes a combination of gas and dust filters is necessary. There are two types of air purifying respirators. One is non-powered and relies on the wearer to draw in air by inhaling. The other is powered and relies on a battery-powered motor to draw in the air.

2. Supplied air Respirator

This method delivers clean air or oxygen from an uncontaminated source. Types of supplied air respirators include; air hose – air delivered through a hose by natural breathing or a pump; air-line – air delivered through an airline via a compressor or compressed air cylinders; and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) – compressed air comes in bottles strapped to the user’s body.

Note: If you are unsure of the extent of the atmospheric hazard, then respirators should be worn.

Knowing what type of respirator you need depends on the nature of your work. For more information of the correct protection to use, consult your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 0800 723 378.

For additonal information on respiratory protection, refer to Australian Standards: AS/NZS 1715: 1994 Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices, AS/NZS 1716:2003 Respiratory Protective Devices, AS 2299 Occupational Driving Operations, AS 2865 – Safe working in confined spaces.

adfloWe've reinvented the powered air-purifying respirator for welders. Speedglas with Adflo is a light, compact, all-in-one system. Its exclusive ‘stackable’ configuration means that the gas filter can be stacked onto the particle filter for additional protection from specific organic, inorganic and acidic vapours.

an adaptable system that saves money.

In effect, it is two systems in one, allowing increased user flexibility to adapt to changing welding applications. And you can selectively replace either the particle or the gas filter as needed; you don't need to change both filters at the same time.

Goes into tight spaces.

The Adflo system has no external batteries, no battery cables, and no sharp corners. Its slim profile is designed to go into tight spaces. It is the most ergonomically-perfect PAPR available to welders!

10 Safety Equipment


Hand Protection

Does your work involve manual handling, welding, food processing?Industrial gloves, mittens and gauntlets are selected on the basis of specific work requirements and hazards. Leather, loop pile and Kevlar® wool gloves protect hands and portions of the arms from sharp objects, abrasions and heat, whilst synthetic gloves such as PVC or rubber protect against chemicals, biological agents and electricity.

The level of protection required varies widely between processes and industries, so it is essential that you consult the manufacturer or supplier of the glove before purchasing.

To find out the dangers of the hazardous materials that you will be handling, you must first refer to the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets.

1. Wear the right glove. They are not all the same. A glove that offers protection against one chemical may not protect you from another.

2. Make sure it fits. Gloves must fit the same as shoes. You cannot do your job well if you are fumbling with gloves that are too big or your can't move your hands because they are too small.

3. Sometimes you may need to wear one glove over another. Some chemical-resistant gloves puncture or tear easily. If your work could cause a rip or puncture you may need to wear a protective glove over the chemical glove.

4. Check gloves for tears or punctures before you put them on and while you are working.

5. Chemicals continue to act on the glove whether or not it is being

worn. Temperature can change the length of time you can wear a glove safely. Heat speeds up chemical reactions.The hotter it is, the shorter the life of the glove. Do not rinse or otherwise treat your gloves with other chemicals unless your supervisor tells you to do so.

6. If you are unsure about the use of gloves, ask your supervisor.

For further information on hand protection, refer to Australian Standards: AS 2161.1: 2000 Occupational Protective Gloves.

For more information on hand protection contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 0800 723 378.

Do you need to be seen?Where your personal safety is an issue and you need to be seen it is imperative that you wear high visibility clothing.

High Visibility Reflective Day/Night VestsBOC produces a range of high visibility vests which comply with the Australian/New Zealand standard for ‘High Visibility Safety Garments’, AS/NZS4602:1999, AS/NZS1906.4:1997

Day or night, BOC vests will provide the visibility required to prevent workplace accidents.

Daytime use Vests

Daytime vests provide enhanced light reflectivity for daytime applications. The long lasting fabric is designed to be both highly fluorescent and fade resistant.

Day and Night Vests

Day and night vests are made for use in daytime and night conditions. With the same fluorescent fabric used in the Day vests, BOC ‘Night and Day’ vests also incorporate 50mm retro-reflective tape for evening applications. The tape is both flexible for comfort and fully waterproof – ensuring all light is reflected, no matter what the conditions.

Always ask for high visibility garments that are compliant to standards.

Industrial clothingIndustrial clothing is designed to protect you against chemical hazards, heat and fire, electric shocks, cold conditions and ionising radiation.

The basic requirements for industrial clothing are:

Workers trousers

Workers shorts

Bib and brace overalls

Full length and/or sleeveless coveralls

Dust coats (laboratory coats)

Work shirts

Industrial jackets

Generally these clothes should be close fitting around the wrist and trouser leg and be made of a durable material. For outdoor workers, long trousers and shirts can be used for protection against the sun along with a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen.

Other industries, such as welding, timber yards, food industry, require additional protective clothing that includes protective aprons, spats, hoods, leather jackets, leggings, aramid sleeves etc.

10 Safety Equipment


Industrial Workshop Ventilation

Important Safety Information for fume extraction and Ventitlation

are dust and fumes present in your workplace?Does any part of the processes at your site create a dust hazard to personnel or the environment (e.g. manufacturing, sawing, grinding, loading of tanks or vessels, filling of bags or containers etc)?

Is there risk of fume hazard to personnel or the environment (e.g. welding, soldering, paint, solvents, cleaning, decanting, CNC machinery, vehicle exhaust etc)?

Does any process or maintenance procedure require personnel to enter a confined space (e.g. storage tanks, pits, process vessels, containers, road tankers etc)?

Confined space entry accounts for more multiple fatalities than any other type of industrial accident. The most common cause of death is respiratory failure due to an unsafe atmosphere.

Working in a confined space exposes employees to increased risk from hazards such as contaminated air or oxygen deficiency. Before entering a confined space, steps need to be taken to ensure the air quality is acceptable.

‘…Where a risk assessment indicates it is necessary, employers must ensure that employee exposure to hazardous substances is either prevented or adequately controlled to minimise risks to health…’ Hazardous Substances Regulations, Worksafe Australia.

Ventilation is used to control the atmospheric hazards within confined spaces by replacing or purging the unsafe air with clean, breathable air.

While in some situations this can be done by natural means (i.e. relying on air currents or the wind) it is normally considered prudent to ventilate by mechanical means with purpose built blowers and extractors.

When should respiratory equipment be worn?If the work to be done in the confined space is likely to degrade the atmosphere further (e.g. welding, painting, cleaning, sand blasting) then a combination of respiratory equipment and ventilation should be used.

Also, if testing indicates the atmosphere is not safe for entry, and no further control measures can be implemented, then suitable respiratory equipment must be worn with ventilation as a further precaution. For more information, refer to AS 2865: 2001 Safe Working in Confined Spaces.

Of course, choosing the right fume extraction and detection equipment depends on the type of environment you work in. For more information, contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 0800 723 378.

ozone Pollution control ProductsPreventing airborne pollutants from entering a worker’s breathing zone is a vital component of any professional safety program. BOC distributes the extensive range of Ozone pollution control products dedicated to this purpose. Highlighted are some of the more popular products. Comprehensive product brochures are available from BOC Gas and Gear™ Centres.

ozone Welding fume control Products

Breathing Zone VentilatorThe CX2 Ventilator creates a constant stream of fresh air through the worker’s breathing zone – economically, effectively and reliably. Suitable for welding fume control, confined space ventilation, nuisance dust control and numerous other applications. The CX2 has a robust, polymer coated steel case. It offers high flow rates and air speeds for effective pollution control, and high pressure development – 50% greater than conventional blowers. Featuring a low noise centrifugal rotor with self-cleaning steel blades. Equally suited to blowing clean air towards or sucking polluted air away from the worker. Comes complete with a 6 m long, 200 mm diameter hose, which is lightweight and extremely compressible. A special flame retardant coating protects the hose from welding sparks.

Part No. CX2

continuous Duty cleanersThe PF2 is a portable, high efficiency cleaner. The combination of Ozone’s cleanable filter technology and a continuous duty (100,000 hour) maintenance free motor, ensure low running costs. With its compact design and high performance, the PF2 is ideal for light-duty and maintenance welding. Wheels and carry handle make it easy to move from job to job.

‘At source’ control is typically achieved through various stand-alone inlet kits. Alternatively, the PF2 can be used for ‘on-gun’ extraction with a pilot gun kit that connects to any standard MIG gun.

Part No. PF2

autostart cleanerThis high quality brush motor cleaner incorporates sophisticated electronics to prolong motor life. The Autostart Cleaner starts automatically whenever welding commences. The earth cable is simply positioned over the sensor window. No hard wiring or attachments to the welding machine are necessary. The motor features auto cut-out carbon brushes that prevent it from operating when brush wear becomes too great.

The WA2 Cleaner can be connected to any of the major brands of integrated fume extraction MIG guns available. Alternatively, it can be used with the Ozone Pilot Gun Kit. Model WO2 is also available without the auto start feature. WT7 Workstation can be used with multiple inlets.

Part No. WA2

ozone Welding fume control Products (cont)

BeamsOzone hinged beams support one or two Flexi Arms, providing extraction over an impressively large area. Hinged beam systems can be moved against the wall when not in use, increasing safety and work access. The Fixed Beam can be used as an integral component of the extraction system or as a:

Structural support for other Ozone products

Wall-mounted extension

Floor-mounted column

Even a ceiling-mounted dropper

Like the Flexi Arm, the Beam uses no flexible hose in its construction, resulting in improved performance and minimal maintenance.

fume cleanersMobile Fume Cleaners, in combination with Ozone’s unique ‘all solid’ Flexi Arm, provide the ultimate choice in welding fume control. High efficiency, cleanable filters capture fume and recirculate clean, breathable air back into the workplace.

The compact model FS7 is designed for use with one Flexi Arm. FS8 Cleaners have a larger filter with sufficient capacity for two Flexi Arms. Both models offer the convenience and safety of single phase motors as standard. With high flow rates and a massive filter area, Mobile Fume Cleaners are suitable for continuous production welding and even the heaviest fume generating welding processes.


Mobile Fume Cleaner, single inlet FS7

Mobile Fume Cleaner, duel inlet FS8

Depending on your choice of extraction systems, you may/may not require Flexi Arms. Therefore, they do not come with the units and are purchased separately.

flexi armsThe revolutionary Ozone Flexi Arm incorporates ‘solid’ joint technology. The Arm has several distinct advantages over conventional arms with flexible hose: improved air flow, lower pressure, greater strength and reduced maintenance costs. The unique joints provide remarkable flexibility, yet will remain precisely in any position. The rotating wrist joint allows the inlet face to be positioned anywhere the welder wishes. Arms are available in 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 m lengths. 3 m and 6 m hinged extension beams are also available.

extractors and confined Space Ventilation

Pollution extractorsNon-filtered pollution extractors are also available. The all-enclosed ‘box shape’ design protects the motor from damage and increases safety for the operator. Safety guards are fitted and wheels and handle are included. The PX3 is typically used with a 5 m long Magnetic Hose Kit. The larger PX4 develops higher flows and pressure and is suitable for much longer lengths of hose.

Fixed extractors are available for wall-mounted Flexi Arms. The extractor’s unique design bolts directly to the mounting surface. No need to order any additional brackets or adaptors.

Part No. PX3 PX4

System extractorsThese are used in large installations with multiple outlets. The range of versatile Extractors is designed specifically for high pollutant loads. The first choice for any multi-inlet system. Each extractor incorporates a range of unique, practical features. Self-cleaning, backward-inclined impellers prevent pollutant build-up. High-pressure rotors allow small diameter ducting to be used, with correspondingly lower costs and better pollutant transport velocities. Small systems with three or four Flexi Arms are easily designed using the Ozone Duct Kit. The Duct Kit can be connected to either a Roof or Ducted System Extractor.

confined Space VentilatorsAccording to the Australian Standards, mechanical ventilation needs to be provided whenever entry into a confined space is necessary. For such circumstances, Ozone provides a range of Confined Space Ventilators and accessories to suit every application.

Three sizes of electric-driven models are available: a petrol-driven model can be used in remote areas where power cannot be accessed and a pneumatic model, with conductive case, allows for use where intrinsic safety is a concern.

The electric models (CX series) incorporate a high-pressure centrifugal rotor with the motor completely contained within the case. It can be configured out of the air stream if necessary. Flow can be straight through or at right angles.

Accessories include a selection of hoses to suit any application, a robust canister in which to store and transport them and a specially designed snorkel to ensure clear, safe access into restricted entries such as manholes.

Part No. CX3 CX4 CX6 CC4 CP3

Downdraft Bench cleanerErgonomically designed Ozone Bench Cleaners maintain productivity while providing a clean, healthy work environment. Downdraft Bench Cleaners are an ideal solution whenever dust or fume is generated by a hand held tool as in grinding, sanding, polishing, de-burring, welding, oxy-cutting. With its Channel Cartridge filter, the BD7 is ideally suited to metal, fibreglass, plastics or timber. Thanks to the overhanging bench top, a comfortable working position is assured.

The Vibro Cleaner ensures safe, quick filter cleaning. Simply move the handle in and out. By connecting a compressed air line to the fitting supplied, additional cleaning is achieved. The BD7 is designed as a portable unit to allow it to be simply wheeled away into storage and opening up the workspace access.

Several other styles of bench cleaners are available for use with electronic components (e.g. spray paint and chemical powders). An acoustic booth is available to suppress noise and improve workplace amenity.

1. Why should I have a first aid Kit?

A first aid kit is necessary to assist in the saving of lives and to prevent pain and suffering to workers in the workplace.

2. What if I choose not to have one but keep a few items in a drawer?

Currently there is legislation in Australia and New Zealand that places of work must have a First Aid Kit. There are fines for companies who ignore these laws.

3. What sort of first aid Kit do I need?

The best way to select a Kit or First Aid requirements according to number of people.

4. How many first aid Kits should I have and where should they be placed?

In a workplace a First Aid Kit should be placed in a convenient accessible position not further than 100 metres from all workers. In a multi-storey building a kit should be located every second floor, ideally near running water.

5. What if I have a large number of employees? Is one first aid Kit enough?

On a construction site where there are more than 100 employees or other place of work where there are more than 200 employees a medical room is a requirement. For more information refer to AS 2675: 1983.

about Safety Signs

understanding aS/NZ 1319:1994 – Safety Signs for the occupational environment.

Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1319: 1994 sets forth design and use standards for safety signs used in the occupational environment. Safety signs are classified by function into groups.

Use these guidelines to determine which sign classification best suits your applications:

Regulatory Signs – contain instructions with which failure to comply constitutes an offense under law, standing orders, company policy, etc. Mandatory and Prohibition Signs are the most commonly used regulatory signs.

Hazard Signs – warn of hazards or hazardous conditions. Warning and Danger signs warn of hazards according to the severity of the threat. Warning signs alert the reader to hazards that are not life-threatening, whilst Danger signs warn of life-threatening hazards or hazardous conditions.

fire Signs – advise the location of fire alarms and fire fighting equipment, e.g. fire extinguishers.

emergency Information Signs – indicate the location or direction of emergency related facilities such as emergency showers or basins.

Of course, choosing the right products for a safer workplace depends on the type of environment you work in.

For an assessment contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 0800 723 378.

Safe, quick and easy Handling and storing cylinders can be difficult, due to their awkward shape, size and weight. They can be a threat to workers and their workplace if not secured correctly. Current legislation stipulates that cylinders must be properly secured in transit and while stationary.

Bottlechocks are specifically designed and built to easily secure cylinders in the workplace and while they are being transported. Their design even provides some security if the straps are accidentally left unfastened.

BottlechockBottlechocks positively grip the cylinder. Their unique design is in full contact with the cylinder’s surface. This system holds the cylinder firmly, in position and secure, unlike others where the cylinder must remain loose to allow unfastening. Bottlechocks protect the cylinder, reduce damage to valuable gauges, prevent movement, and provide a safe, secure environment. The quick release fastener allows cylinders to be removed or secured quickly and easily. No lifting is required, which reduces possible back injury.

Multiple KitsBottlechock kits are compact and easy to store and assemble. Each cylinder is gripped and secured individually. Every kit has two brackets (three with kit G Oxy-Acet) so each individual cylinder can be secured in two places.

Welding Blankets

application – Heat and Retention and InsulationA ‘welding blanket’ is designed to encapsulate a metal object that has been subjected to heat treatment either through stress relieving or welding. The blanket retards the cooling rates

contributing towards the non hardening and possible subsequent embrittlement in the Heat Effected Zone (HEZ). Elliott’s offer blankets manufactured from two fabrics, HeatShield® and T1000.

All these welding blankets are NON ASBESTOS.

Heatshield®

HeatShield® is manufactured from E glass fibre which is a non-combustible, flexible, inorganic material that has been specifically designed to provide retention of heat. HeatShield® has a service temperature of 500°C with 100% duty cycle providing a wide scope, fulfilling most applications.

t1000T1000 is manufactured from E glass fibre which is a non-combustible, flexible, inorganic material that has been treated to withstand higher temperatures than HeatShield®. T1000 has been developed to provide a blanket fabric that will be unaffected by surface temperatures of 800°C continuously.

Welding Screens

Protect this most precious gift from the painful and harmful effects of welding flash with Elliott ArcSafe® welding screens.

Benefits of arcSafe®

ArcSafe® welding screens absorb the dangerous ultra violet light that is emitted from the arc welding process and also offers these added benefits.

Surrounding your welding situations with safety

Protecting your co-workers and other people from the painful effects of accidental welding flash

Safely and quickly defining hazardous welding areas

Allowing safe observation for safety check of welding operations

All seams are welded, not sewn, for extra durability and strength

colours and Luminance transmittanceArcSafe® welding screens are available in two colours – red and green.

The luminance transmittance is the ratio of the luminance of a source of light when viewed through a curtain or screen to the luminance of that source when viewed directly.

ArcSafe® Red and Green

C1 17.8 29.1

C2 8.5 17.8

C3 3.2 8.5

C4 1.2 3.2

C5 0.44 1.2

How Does It Work?The ArcSafe® welding screen is manufactured from vinyl film, processed with a colour dye, a flame retardant and an ultra violet absorber. The dye consumes and filters the blue light brightness associated with the electric arc welding process. The material surface acts as a reflector, causing the arc to appear larger and less bright, thus reducing glare to the eyes. The light is also scattered in different directions, creating a fluorescent light, this causes the pupil to constrict and shut out excess glare, thus reducing light to the retina.

application – Protection from Spatter and DrossA ‘welding drape’ is designed to be placed over or cover an object that cannnot be moved and is positioned in such a way that welding spatter and dross could cause damage.The positioning of a drape is of utmost importance. It should be arranged loosely over the object to enhance the run off of

welding spatter and dross. A welding drape can also be used as a curtain where a more robust material is required.Elliott’s offer drapes made from three types of fabrics – Neoweld®, SilicaGlass and leather.

IMPoRtaNt: care should be taken to position a drape to enhance the natural run off of the weld spatter and dross.
