Maximum Safety With Sandblasting Suit
Sandblasting poses serious health and safety risks to workers. Improper execution can result in injuries to eyes, face and ears as well as respiratory illnesses such as silicosis.
To reduce these risks, blasting sites must utilize environmental controls and personal protective equipment – such as aprons, dust masks and gloves.
Protégez vos yeux
Blasting generates large volumes of airborne dust containing silica particles that may damage lungs over time. A sandblasting suit protects workers against this risk.
These suits are constructed of tough materials designed to withstand the impact of abrasive media, and feature sealed seams to keep abrasive particles out. Their design covers every part of the body from head to feet; featuring high-quality helmet and face shield designed specifically to withstand blasting surface impacts.
This suit includes heavy-duty gloves and steel-toed boots to shield workers from injuries caused by any abrasive material that lands on them or bounces off surfaces they’re working on, including hearing protection in the form of earplugs or earmuff-style hearing protectors.

Sandblasting is an industrial process in which sand grains are projected at high speed to strip surfaces, remove burrs or add texture to materials. While effective, this form of blasting can also be very hazardous – to limit its toxic impact and protect employees, personal protective equipment including full blast suits, hoods, gloves and safety footwear should be worn during this process.
These lightweight suits, constructed of nylon and leather, are designed to prevent sandblast media from entering your lungs, as well as accommodate workers of various types and sizes. A great alternative to heavy-duty blast suits that may lead to heat buildup and contribute to diseases such as silicosis. En outre, they allow blasters to work comfortably thereby increasing productivity.
Protect Your Neck
A blast suit provides protection for blast operators’s head and neck against eye or facial injury during sandblasting sessions, as well as skin irritation caused by rebound particles.
Sandblast suits typically consist of an integrated hood that covers both head and neck areas, adjustable wrist and ankle cuffs with elastic closures to keep abrasive particles at bay, heavy-duty safety gloves for particle abrasion protection, durable footwear to avoid slips or falls, heavy duty safety gloves designed specifically to cover hand movements, as well as slip resistant shoes designed to prevent particle abrasion or slips.
An effective PPE program for sandblasting involves wearing appropriate clothing, respirators and safety footwear or boots; inhalation protection; hearing protection as well as hearing protectors can all prevent airborne particulate matter from infiltrating our respiratory systems and leading to serious medical conditions like silicosis and lung damage.
Protect Your Legs
Blasting propels abrasive materials across their working environments, so blasters must wear protective clothing designed to shield their entire bodies. A full-body blast suit provides protection from debris striking against skin while pressurized helmet provides head and respiratory protection. Leather gloves and safety boots complete the outfit and safeguard against potential compressed air hazards like decompression sickness (the bends) or air embolism.
These blast suits are constructed of heavy-duty sweat wicking fabric designed to keep operators cool and comfortable, increasing productivity while staying productive. Seams are reinforced with tonneau cover strips for increased durability and life expectancy; reflective tape increases visibility in harsh conditions while velcro wrist and ankle tighteners ensure an easy fit; additionally hood and boots can be tucked inside to eliminate gaps that allow abrasive dust into the body.
Protect Your Feet
Sandblasting equipment can expose workers to potentially hazardous abrasive materials, creating hazardous working conditions for workers. Breathing in these particles could result in respiratory conditions like silicosis; eye injuries caused by these materials could include corneal abrasions or permanent vision loss.
To minimise these risks, sandblasting employees must wear the appropriate PPE. This may include an apron or blast suit, safety goggles/eye shields and noise-reducers such as ear plugs/muffs.
These suits are constructed of sturdy material to withstand the abrasive force of blasting media and have sealed seams to prevent particles from penetrating through gaps in their garment. En outre, protective gloves and steel-toed boots protect feet from impact hazards while one-piece garment construction helps ensure maximum coverage of potential hazards.
