Welders PPE, or Personalised Protective Equipment, are specialised clothing and equipment worn by welders to protect them from the hazards associated with welding. These PPE are designed with the purpose of covering your body and preventing exposure to direct and reflected ultraviolet (UV) light and infrared rays when welding, and protect you from spark, splatter and radiation burns.

Welders PPE are typically made from wool, heavy cotton or leather because of their strength and durability reducing their risk of deterioration and melting. These materials are also good for preventing light-reflection under the helmet and into the eyes. It is therefore important to wear welders PPE appropriately for example arms shall not be rolled up.   

Engweld also stocks other important Welders PPE like Welding Helmets & Masks, Air Fed Welding Helmets, Work Safety Boots, and Welding Gloves.

PPE Regulations

Employers are often required by law to provide appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for their workers in the welding industry. 

The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations (PPER 1992) places a duty on every employer in Great Britain to ensure that suitable PPE is provided to ‘employees’ who may be exposed to a risk to their health or safety while at work. The aforementioned legislation also dictates the employer to ensure that any PPE provided to his employees is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.

The PPER 1992 regulation was amended on 6th April 2022 with Personal Protective Equipment at Work (Amendment) Regulations 2022 (PPER 2022). The duties and responsibilities on employers and employees under the PPER 2022 are the same as PPER 1992 but extended to limb (b) workers
