Welding Helmets & PAPR Suppliers in Hobart

Welding is a hazardous business. Sparks fly and without the right protection, burns can occur. The good news for all welders is that welding helmets have well and truly surpassed the clunky metal contraptions of yesteryear. In fact, they are now a many and varied and highly considered piece of workplace protection.

One of the main problems with welding helmets in the past has been the whole business of having to raise and lower the helmet depending on which stage of the welding process a welder was in. The helmet had to be tilted back off the face to see well enough while the welding electrode, welding gun or torch was readied for action and then lowered when the weld began. Lens weren’t always ideal either offering limited clarity and no real protection against bright light.

Now, welding helmets have gone high-tech both in design and features.If a welder wants to look like an action figure out of a Marvel movie while welding with a high degree of safety, they can. Welding helmets can now also sense the brightness of the light generated by the weld and adjust the darkness of the lens automatically.
