Grit blasting Safety Equipment
Grit blasting has a number of health risks involved from the abrasive media being used and the materials being blasted on the surface. Therefore there are various grit blasting safety equipment available for the operator’s safety while any grit-blasting process. Things ready with our company for safety can be listed as follows:
- Grit blasting operator suit– Skin exposure or inhalation of toxins such as zinc, lead, and silica can lead to serious health problems, including silicosis, lung cancer, and breathing problems.
- Grit blasting helmet– Respiratory covering head, neck, & shoulders, ear, and eye protection
- Grit blasting hand gloves– for the protection of hands
- Safety shoes or gumboots
- Grit blasting air conditioners used in helmets for the operators.
Grit blasting Operator Suit
- This is a special kind of one-piece protective clothing suit available for the operator while grit blasting any material or surface.
- On wearing, the operator is covered and protected fully against the flying abrasive media. By this operator’s safety measures are more as now abrasive cannot touch their skin and harm them physically.
- To provide the appropriate level of protection during every grit blasting application; garments, operator suit and equipment recommended specifically for sandblasting should be used.
- Everyone in the area should wear all the necessary safety equipment, not just the operator working over there.
- Dust particles are still hazardous to health during cleaning any surface and all safety clothing should continue to be worn.
Grit blasting Helmet
- Air-supplied, sealed helmets are some of the most essential and important pieces of safety equipment and they should always be worn during the sandblasting process.
- Always use a grit blasting helmet that provides clean air to prevent inhaling microscopic dust particles.
- Helmets should well fit – because those which are too big will not give an effective barrier and will let dust particles inside which would be harmful to the operator.
- We always use a helmet that provides perfect condition and has a high-quality filter to prevent fine particles from getting inside the grit blasting helmet.
Grit blasting Hand Gloves
- The operator should use gloves made from leather, neoprene, or rubber materials that are made specifically for the grit blasting operation to prevent flying abrasive particles from passing through the skin and from the static charges if being generated.
- Grit blasting hand gloves are in long lengths which create a continuous hurdle that prevents dust from entering openings in clothing.
- Cabinet-style abrasive blasting gloves should be used when using a Gritblasting cabinet, according to the cabinet manufacturer recommendations.
Safety Shoes
- The gumboots are made by rubber used by the operator while grit blasting process to provide safety from abrasive media, machine, etc.
- Safety shoes should always be worn to provide a hurdle between dust particles and impact from equipment or other materials that may be dropped on the foot.
- These are specially designed gumboots which provide a sturdy hold to the operator during the grit blasting process and even reduces the potential for accidents.
- To prevent the possibility of particles coming into contact with the operator’s skin or having an accident from slipping one should never wear their regular shoes while grit-blasting process.
Grit blasting Helmet Air Conditioner:
- The purified air from air breather is inserted to the air conditioner, where it is conditioned and is again inserted to the helmet by using grit blasting hose in grit blasting safety equipment
- The air conditioner shape is made “vortex” where the air is whirled (rotated) and is divided into hot air and cool air.
- It is being provided with a belt and is generally worn on the operator’s waist and is fully adjustable.
- It has an adjustable knob also which regulates the temperature of the air in the helmet.
- Whatever may be the working conditions of the grit blasting, it gives a healthy environment.
- Helmet air conditioners are self-driven and need no auxiliary, extra unit or system.
- It is also lightweight in nature and no maintenance is required.
- By using our product, the operator will never get discomfort and thus saves from fatigue and dehydration problems also.
