Welding Foot/Leg Protection

Welding is one of the most hazardous jobs, and wearing adequate personal protection equipment (PPE) is mandatory for every welder. Tremendous temperatures, sparks, airborne incandescent fragments, dispersion of chemicals are among the typical hazards. To work safely, confidently, and efficiently, a welder must be protected from head to toe. PPE for the welding environment is defined and ruled by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and includes protection for the head, eyes, hands, body, legs, feet, and breathing apparatus. Perhaps, covering legs and feet may sound excessive, but sparks fly in all directions, and some fabrics catch fire easily.

The choice of suitable garments depends on working conditions. In some cases, flame retardant fabrics offer good protection. In harsher environments, leather welding pants and shoe protectors must be worn to ensure safety. Typically, all the seams are double-stitched, and the most sensitive points are reinforced with aramid fiber or metal. Welding protective equipment should not be taken lightly, and only quality garments should be used.
