Welding Safety Equipment Selection — Quick Reference
Welding generates intense UV + IR radiation, molten spatter, fumes, sharp edges — comprehensive PPE is non-negotiable. Selection covers eye + face + hand + body + respiratory + area protection. AU compliance to AS/NZS 1338 (filters), AS/NZS 1337 (eye protection), AS/NZS 1336 (welding eye protection).
| PPE Category | Spec | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Welding Helmet (Auto-Darkening) | AS/NZS 1338 Shade 9-13 variable | MIG + TIG + Stick — variable arc brightness |
| Welding Helmet (Fixed-Shade Passive) | AS/NZS 1338 Shade 10-13 | Single-process + budget option |
| Welding Gloves — TIG (Long-Cuff) | Light leather + dexterity | Low-heat precise work — TIG + brazing |
| Welding Gloves — MIG/Stick (Heavy) | Heavy leather + insulation | High-heat + spatter — MIG + stick + flux-cored |
| Welding Jacket / Apron (Leather + FR) | Heat + spatter + UV protection | Body protection — fabrication + production welding |
| Welding Sleeves + Bib | Arm + chest spot protection | Light-duty + occasional welding |
| Welding Safety Glasses (Shade 3-5) | AS/NZS 1336 — under-helmet wear | Worn under helmet + post-weld inspection |
| Welding Respirator (Powered Air-Purifying) | HEPA + carbon filter — welding fume | Sustained welding — stainless + galv + aluminium fume |
| Welding Curtains + Screens | Area protection — bystander UV exposure | Workshop bay + bench welding screen |
| Welding Magnets + Workpiece Holders | Hands-free setup — see Magswitch | Reduces injury exposure during setup |
Critical: Welding helmet shade must match arc current — Stick 60-160A = Shade 10; 160-250A = Shade 11; 250-400A = Shade 12-13. Auto-darkening helmets default to inactive state — ALWAYS verify activation before strike. Fume extraction (see fume extractors) is the primary control for galv + stainless + aluminium welding.

Welding Safety Equipment
Welding creates intense UV and IR radiation, molten spatter, fumes and sharp edges — comprehensive personal protective equipment is essential. AIMS Industrial stocks a full range of welding safety equipment from BossSafe and Bossweld, covering hand protection, body protection, eye protection and area controls.
Welding Gloves
Bossweld welding gloves cover a range of applications: TIG welding gloves (long cuff) for precise, low-heat work where dexterity matters; goat skin TIG gloves with reinforced fingers and cow leather cuffs for extended TIG sessions; and standard welding gloves for MIG and stick work. The BT/Bossweld aluminised Kevlar glove saver extends glove life in high-radiant-heat environments.
Body Protection
Bossweld and goat leather welding jackets protect against spatter and radiant heat during MIG, TIG and stick welding. Bossweld chrome leather full aprons (60 x 90cm) provide a lighter-weight alternative for bench welding. Bossweld leather welding blankets (1.0 x 2.0m) protect adjacent surfaces and equipment from spatter during welding operations.
Eye and Face Protection
BossSafe safety spectacles (Shade 5) protect welding assistants and nearby workers from arc flash and UV radiation. Gold reflective spare lenses for Bossweld helmets extend helmet service life at lower cost than full replacement.
Welding Curtains and Screens
Bossweld welding curtains (1.74 x 1.74m) protect nearby workers and equipment from arc flash, UV radiation and spatter — essential for shared workshop environments and wherever welding occurs adjacent to unprotected areas.
