FIGHTING BACK: How Welding Respirators Protect Workers Across Industrial Manufacturing Disciplines

Reducing worker exposure to potentially hazardous compounds in welding fume has been a primary objective of metal fabricators in the welding industry for over a century. In this white paper, we discuss how PAPRs intended for welding applications can be used to enhance workplace safety and limit the spread of COVID-19 in a variety of other industrial settings and processes.

Mission-Critical Features

Maximizing Field of View

The VIKING FGS PAPR welding helmet increases field of view in both the open and closed positions. This provides operators with various safety and productivity enhancements.

Safety

  • 161-degree field of vision makes operator inspection and general movements less hazardous

  • Shade 5 side windows increase peripheral vision in the closed position

  • Anti-fog lens coating allows for a more consistently clear view 

Productivity

  • Expanded field of vision can help reduce setup, inspection and production time

  • Large auto-darkening viewing area enhances operator control

Simple, Smart Respiratory System

Features include an LED display, automatic speed adjustments and audible and vibratory alerts.
