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:

A bracket and cable clip to attach a lamp (underground mining)

Eyeshield, faceshield, welding shield

A very wide brim for hot climates

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

Earmuffs

Depending on the work site you can choose from the following styles:

Cap style – lighter and better balanced, suitable for confined areas and for wearing accessories such as earmuffs, and welding visors

Hat style – full brim to the face, ears and back of neck for protection against the harsh elements

Helmets that comply with the ‘thermal performance requirements’ of AS/NZS 1801: 1998 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. In areas such as underground mining where conspicuousness is important, it’s a good idea to have the helmet marked with reflective colouring at the front, rear and sides.

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 Standards: AS 1800, Occupational Protective Helmets AS/NZS 1801: 1998.

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 1300 723 378. BOC can also arrange to emboss your company logo on helmets (minimum order of 40 helmets).

The information above is provided as a general outline and is not intended to be a definitive statement on the subject matter. Professional advice should be sought before any action is taken in relation to the matters described above.

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 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?

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, eyeshield, faceshield 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 an assessment of your eye protection requirements, contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 1300 723 378.

10 Safety Equipment


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 1269.3: 2005.

Of course, choosing the right hearing protection depends on the type of environment you work in. For an assessment contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 1300 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

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 which relies on the wearer to draw in air by inhaling. The other is powered which 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; 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 depends on the nature of your work. For an assessment of the correct protection to use, consult your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 1300 723 378.

For more 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 industry, so it is essential that you consult the manufacturer or supplier of the glove before purchasing.

It’s always a good idea to find out the dangers of hazardous materials that you will be handling by referring to the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets first.

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

You can also consult your local BOC specialist for advice on hand protection or ring the BOC hotline on 1300 723 378.

Protective Clothing



Source: Use of Personal Protective Equipment at Work: A Guidance Note (published by WorkCover Nov 1996). Occupational Personal Protection (published by Standards Australia). Standards Australia

Protective welding clothing is designed to protect you against hazards when carrying out welding or cutting.

The welder and allied trades may need to wear a combination of the following forms of protection:

Leather protective clothing which includes jackets, shoulder capes and aprons for the body; sleeves for the arms, caps and neck guards for the head; leggings, gaiters and puttees for the legs.

Flame retardant Lightweight Proban® cotton clothing which includes jackets, welding bibs, snoods and aprons for the body.

Suitable head protection against hot metal or spatter ejected from the weld, and heat, flames and radiation from welding. They range from caps to snoods.

Wearing everyday clothes without additional protection is not advisable for welding, they are not generally fire-resistant and some shirt materials do not protect the welder from arc radiation and skin burns to the body are likely to occur.

10 Safety Equipment


Protective Footwear

the information above is provided as a general outline and is not intended to be a definitive statement on the subject matter. Professional advice should be sought before any action is taken in relation to the matters described above.


Important Safety Information for footwearWhat are the chances of slipping, or hurting/banging your feet at work?

Generally, you should choose to wear protective footwear to avoid the following types of injuries to feet:

Contact with falling, rolling or cutting objects

Penetration through soles or uppers

Degloving (epidermis pulled away from the feet)

Antistatic and electrical hazards

Contact with chemicals, heat and molten metals

Slipping

there are different types of protection offered depending on the grade of toe caps.type 1 and type 4 (waterproof) is a Grade 1 toe cap and is recommended for agriculture, mining and quarrying, bush undertakings (e.g. sawmills, building and construction), waterfront, heavy engineering, fire fighting, freezing works, transport in industries listed above, heavy woodwork, meatworks.

type 2 (Grade 2 toe cap) is suitable for light engineering, transport, storage and communication, light woodworking, e.g. cabinet making.

type 3 (Grade 3 toe cap) is suitable for light-duty factory work, process work, delivery work, field work (not handling heavy material).

other features to look for when choosing footwearFuel-resistant outsoles (recommended if the wearer has contact with organic solvents)

Penetration-resistant midsoles to avoid foot injuries

Electricity conductive properties to minimise electrostatic build-up

Anti-static properties

■

■

■

■

■

■

■

■

■

■

the choice of the tread is also most importantFlexible footwear, which allows most of the tread elements to contact the walking surface, and those with the most tread elements per unit area of sole are preferred. The tread should be smooth and flat on the contact surface and must not wear out quickly.

Where there is water and lubricants, square or short rectangular tread designs have very good anti-slip characteristics.

Footwear protection in use in Australian workplaces should meet the performance requirements of Australian Standards AS/NZS 2210.1: 1994 Occupational protective footwear.

Of course, choosing the right foot protection depends on the type of environment you work in. For an assessment contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 1300 723 378.

Industrial Workshop Safety

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 usually 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.

Whilst 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 work is being carried out in a confined space there should be natural or mechanical ventilation which ensures that a safe atmosphere is being maintained…" Workcover NSW.

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 an assessment contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 1300 723 378.

continuous Duty cleaners – Pf2The 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 which connects to any standard MIG gun.

Part No. PF2

autostart cleaner – Wa2These high quality brush motor cleaners incorporate 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 which 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.

Beams – Bf3, BH3, BH6Ozone 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 amazing 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 cleaners – fS7, fS8Mobile 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, 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 arms – af1, af2, af3, af4The 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 extractors – PX3, PX4Non-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.

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 and 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 Ventilators – cX-3, cX4, cX6, cc4, cP3According 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 and safe access into restricted entries such as manholes.

Downdraft Bench cleaner – BD7Ergonomically designed Ozone Bench Cleaners maintain productivity whilst providing a clean, healthy work environment. Downdraft Bench Cleaners are an ideal solution whenever dust or fume is generated by a hand held tool. Grinding, sanding, polishing, de-burring, welding, oxy-cutting. With their 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 and quick filter cleaning. Simply move the handle in and out. By connecting a compressed air line to the fitting supplied, additional cleaning results. 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.

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 are properly secured in transit and while stationary.

Bottlechock is 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.

BottlechockBottlechock positively grips the cylinder. Its 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. Bottlechock protects the cylinder, reduces damage to valuable gauges, prevents movement, and provides a safe and 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.

easy to Install KitsEach kit comes complete with Bottlechocks, brackets and pins to secure each individual cylinder in two places. Brackets are separate to allow fixing at vertical heights to suit you. Kits for multiple cylinders have extended brackets to suit 2, 3 or 4 cylinders.
