Popular Welding Helmets by Jackson Safety
Welding
helmets are the headgear worn to protect the face and neck during
various welding operations. For example, arc welding, shielding metal
arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and gas metal arc welding are all
operations that require a welding helmet for safety and protection.
These helmets, such as Jackson welding helmets, protect from flash
burns, ultraviolet light, sparks, infrared light and heat. They also can
prevent damaging health risks such as arc eye, inflamed cornea, and
retina burns. Any unprotected exposure to the highly concentrated
release of ultraviolet and infrared light emissions from the welding arc
can cause such damages. The same ultraviolet emissions can also harm
any unprotected skin. Most skin damage is comparable to a sunburn and
can occur quickly hence the term “flash burn”.
With
out proper knowledge and safety precautions welding can be both
dangerous and unhealthy. Most welding processes involve an arc flame, so
the risk of facial and flesh burns is very high. Jackson welding
helmets are durable and dependable, they significantly reduce any risk
of injury, and allow for quality work to be done both safely and
effectively. These helmets are specifically designed for optimal
protection of the eyes. Standard welding helmets protect the eyes from
ultraviolet emissions released during multiple arc welding processes;
exposure to these emissions result in inflammation of the cornea and is
known as arc eye or ultraviolet keratitis. It’s very important to find a
United States Industry approved helmet that covers all necessary
security features and provides sufficient protection to prevent or
greatly reduce any and all risks of injury resulting in personal harm or
physical damage.
Older
models of welding helmets were worn up during most welding operations.
Traditionally, the welder would work with the helmet in an up position
and pay close attention to his work. When the worker began an arc
welding process (arc welding, shielding metal arc welding, gas tungsten
arc welding, and gas metal arc welding) he would need to nod his head
for the helmet to fall into place for protection. This was necessary
because the older helmets were harder to see out of while working.
However, the newer models such as Jackson welding helmets have easy
viewing liquid crystal display screens that automatically adjust to
differential light. The newer model helmets can therefore be worn down
at all times which increases protection, and reduces the risks of injury
and accidents. Most welding helmets are likely to age especially due to
the rugged nature in which they are used. Over time, cracks and can
reduce the potential protection any welding helmet can offer.
Specifically, a cracked helmet will reduce protection from ultraviolet
and infrared rays. Accordingly, welding helmets should provide full
protection from the electromagnetic emissions both ultraviolet and
infrared even when the the liquid crystal display screen is not
darkened; to remain protected at all times it would be prudent to
purchase a quality helmet that would provide protection for a reasonable
period of time without needing to be repaired or replaced.
