Stay Safe and Comfortable With Our Durable Sandblasting Suit
Abrasive blasting (also known as sandblasting) involves using compressed air to propel a stream of abrasive material at an object for quick cleaning, removal of rust or preparation for painting.
Dry blasting produces large volumes of dust that can pose health hazards like silicosis and lung cancer, so workers must wear respirators masks when working in this environment.
Protect Your Face and Neck
When working with abrasive materials, it is vitally important to wear appropriate safety gear. A sandblasting suit ensures your eyes, skin and neck remain free from being hit with any flying particles during the process; furthermore it prevents dust or other airborne debris entering the lungs, helping prevent respiratory conditions like silicosis or tuberculosis forming over time.
Face shields are an integral component of any sandblasting suit and designed to protect your eyes, ears and throat from injury during sandblasting operations. Constructed from acrylic or plexiglass material with ventilation holes designed to permit breathing while wearing it; certain face shields may even feature anti-scratch, shock or glare coatings to enhance their level of protection even further.
As well as wearing a face shield, it is wise to also use safety glasses or goggles in addition to your face shield. This will protect your eyes from becoming exposed to potentially hazardous particles and could help identify any hazards which could damage equipment or people nearby. In highly noisy environments, additional hearing protection such as earplugs may also be useful to safeguard hearing health.
Our Nova 3 blast hoods are constructed from durable nylon outer shell and inner foam padding for maximum comfort and durability. Their molded shape distributes air evenly around your head and neck for maximum operator relaxation, and feature easily interchangeable lenses that can be quickly changed out for any job site conditions – each lens comes pre-folded for easy removal, with convenient tabs that enable gloves to remain on while taking off a lens. In addition, our Nova 3 blast hoods come equipped with advanced climate control technology so you can either heat or cool air inside your helmet accordingly based on circumstances.
Protect Your Eyes
Sandblasters emit high-intensity blasts of abrasive materials which can lead to cuts, burns, eye injuries and even the loss of body parts. To mitigate the risks associated with their work environment, workers should wear adequate protection such as high-quality blast suits with safety glasses/goggles and ear protection as well as respirators masks to avoid breathing in airborne dust and particles from being inhaled into their lungs.
RPB Nova 3 blast hood offers the optimal combination of protection and comfort. Offering unsurpassed head and neck protection against dust, abrasive media and dangerous coatings, making this lightweight adjustable piece essential to any blaster’s arsenal. Plus, its lightweight frame makes wearing it effortless!
Allredi’s blast suits are constructed using high-grade materials for maximum comfort and durability, offering workers safe sandblasting experiences. Their designs incorporate features like recoil absorbing inlays, rigid fabrics and high performance breathability for an enhanced working experience. Their selection of nylon and leather suits add strength and longevity.
Protect Your Feet
Sandblasting produces particles that can be inhaled into the air, placing blast operators at risk for health conditions like silicosis, lung disease and hearing loss. To mitigate risks effectively and minimize health concerns related to inhalation, blasters should wear protective clothing such as full-body blast suits as well as respirators designed to filter specific types of dust that they will be exposed to on the jobsite.
An effective sandblasting suit provides complete body coverage to shield its user from harmful particles and dust, including an integrated hood that protects both head and respiratory areas. Ausserdeem, heavy-duty gloves and steel-toed boots come standard, with secure closures at the cuffs and ankles to prevent debris entering through gaps in the suit.
At all times when using sandblasting equipment, it is imperative that proper safety protocols are observed, including receiving adequate training and conducting regular health checkups. Also providing noise-dampening panels around the work area or requiring blast operators to wear noise-canceling ear muffs may help limit exposure to hazardous noise levels during work. Ausserdeem, ventilation in the workplace helps disperse airborne abrasive particles, decreasing risk of inhalation. Finally, creating and implementing an extensive safety program including regular equipment maintenance and cleaning are crucial steps toward preventing accidents or injuries occurring from using this machinery.
Wear the Right Shoes
Blasting can be an extremely messy job, so blasters should wear appropriate footwear to protect their feet. Choose heavy-duty safety boots or shoes made of durable material with slip resistance to keep feet safe during blasting sessions. Wearing steel-toed shoes will further protect feet from debris that might fall during blasting sessions. In addition, workers should use gloves for particle abrasion prevention as well as choose heavy-duty apron/blast suits which cover their bodies against dust particles and particles.
Clemco offers high-quality protective clothing designed to offer maximum comfort to blast operators, with recoil absorbing inlays, rigid fabrics and high-comfort sport cuffs for enhanced protection and maximum focus on work without disruptions or discomfort. By wearing all necessary gear at once, blasters can concentrate fully on their task without distraction or discomfort.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes items like respirators, face mask or goggles and earplugs or earmuffs that block out noise. In order to stay safe and comfortable while working with abrasive media, workers should regularly clean their PPE and clothing to remove irritants, test all equipment for safety and function regularly and complete hazard assessments regularly to ensure their work area is suitable for blasting. It may also be useful for workers to have wash stations available for hand and face hygiene and shower/change areas so workers can rinse contaminated clothing after each shift ends!
