Type B gloves are recommended when high dexterity is required as for TIG welding, while type A gloves are
recommended for other welding processes. The contact temp (ºC) is 100 and the threshold time (seconds) >15.
Eyes protection: Welder’s helmet or face shield with colour absorbing lenses. Shield and filter to provide protection from
harmful UV radiation, infra red and molten metal approved to standard EN379. Filter shade to be a minimum of
shade 9.
Skin protection: Heat-resistant protective clothing. Wear safety boots, apron, arm and shoulder protection. Keep
protective clothing clean and dry. Clothing should be selected to suit the level, duration and purpose of the welding activity.
