Welding requires proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure safety and compliance. Helmets, whether passive or auto-darkening, protect against UV radiation and debris, while comfort plays a key role in reducing strain. Clear visibility is essential, so welders should opt for helmets with high clarity ratings and ensure proper lighting. Respiratory protection, like PAPRs and SARs, shields welders from hazardous fumes. From helmets to flame-resistant clothing and footwear, the right PPE maximizes safety and efficiency on the job.
