WELDING HELMETS

The decision around which welding helmet to purchase was effectively turned on it's head forever, following HSE's announcement in Febraury 2019 that welding fume was to be considered a carcinogen. Meaning thaty by law you must protect your workers by controlling the health risks from welding fume. Respiratory protective equipment should be used in conjunction with other practiable measures to ensure exposure is at a minimum.

With air fed welding helmets out-selling conventional shields, we offer a variety of solutions from the Foster Prem-Air Pro & GX, to the Weldtek Navitek S4 & the Esab G50 and A60 systems.

We have worked alongside Speedglas for over 35 years and watched as they’ve grown to be the number one welders mask provider in the UK.
