Protective Sandblasting Suit Gear

Just as a deep-sea diver would never venture underwater without proper gear, blasters must wear all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes helmets, masker, eye protection, and gloves.

Clemco’s full-body blast suit makes use of cutting edge technology to maximize safety and comfort without restricting breathability or mobility. A face shield is integrated into its loose fitting respirator, eliminating the need for separate masks.

Helmets

A blasting helmet provides essential protection for an operator’s head, neck, and shoulders from rebounded abrasive material, excessive noise levels, and harmful dust particles. As an integral component of any blasting suit, it helps ensure maximum productivity from work done by its wearer.

Blasting helmets should always be worn during an abrasive blasting process and should fit properly to provide effective dust control and ensure operator health and safety. Helmets that are too big may let dust in, which could potentially be harmful.

Our selection of sandblasting helmets meets international safety standards in terms of size and features such as adjustable features and ratcheting systems for an individualized and secure fit, removable front view frames for quick replacement, Tennessee Chill Box breathing down tubes to provide maximum cool air and an easily replaceable filter system for easy maintenance.

Face Shields

Face shields help safeguard facial areas and mucous membranes by covering eyes, nose and mouth and limiting the spread of infectious droplets that come from coughing or sneezing (source control).

The CDC suggests incorporating face shields with other forms of PPE, including gowns and protective gloves, for optimal use. A typical donning/doffing sequence would consist of gown, protective face mask, face shield (or goggles), then protective gloves.

Disposable face shields are commonly utilized in healthcare settings during procedures that expose medical professionals to blood or other bodily fluids, while they’re also recommended in workplace environments when working with airborne hazards like blast media. Reusable face shields come in numerous styles and materials; clarity must be an easy-to-see through feature, yet strong enough to withstand everyday wear and tear.

Gloves

Blasting with the appropriate equipment is key to meeting stringent surface preparation standards, and wearable protective gloves is paramount in order to minimize hand injuries from flying abrasive particles while simultaneously enabling precise blast operations that keep project timelines on schedule and costs within budget.

Clemco’s extensive range of blast suit accessories is designed to ensure safety and comfort for operators so they can focus on their work, increase productivity and run an efficient abrasive-blasting operation. CE-approved blast suits and accessories include heavy-duty and lightweight blast suits; leather blast gloves; vests designed to cool or warm operators while improving productivity; as well as sleeve protectors, boots and shoes with sealing properties to seal gaps where dust may enter; as well as protective sleeves which cover arms/legs/face/face protections or stops any potential gaps that allow dust entry/entrance;

Stövlar

Safety and comfort do not need to be mutually exclusive in the blasting industry, with blast suit accessories designed to make operators’s work simpler while keeping them comfortable.

Safety work boots protect feet from falling objects and provide traction in hazardous environments, often made of steel or composite to withstand impacts that could otherwise cause foot injuries.

Some workers may require anti-static boots that help dissipate static electricity rather than allow it to accumulate on your body and potentially damage equipment. Energy absorption work boots also play an essential role, cushioning falls and helping reduce their impact, which makes them ideal for high energy work environments where accidents are likely.

Apron

Construction professionals often refer to an “apron” as any piece of trim located under a window sill inside of a structure, while it could also refer to any trim located under another primary element such as bridge decking or roadway surface. Its exact meaning depends on your industry and region of the country; sometimes an “apron” refers to trim placed just underneath window sills for decorative effect; other times it could refer to components under another primary component (for instance bridge decks or roadway surfaces).

Blast aprons are designed to protect operators from particles ejected during the blast cleaning process that come in contact with their bodies, as they perform blast cleaning operations. Made from high quality denim with overlocked edges for increased longevity and professional appearance, they feature an easy entry/exit Velcro strap so operators can access and put on/take off their suit quickly and easily.
