Welding safety gear protects the welder and nearby workers from arc light, heat, spatter, sparks and fumes. This section covers auto-darkening and passive welding helmets, replacement lenses and cover plates, grinding face shields, leather and TIG welding gloves, flame-resistant and leather welding jackets, sleeves and aprons, welding blankets, curtains and screens, and fire watch supplies. Respirators for welding fume are listed under respiratory protection.
What to check before you order
- Helmet shade and sensors. Pick a shade range that covers your processes and amperage. More arc sensors help when part of the arc is blocked. Check that the helmet meets ANSI Z87.1.
- Gloves by process. Heavy leather gloves suit stick and MIG. Thin, close-fitting gloves give TIG welders more feel. See our work glove guide.
- Clothing. Wear flame-resistant or leather outer layers with no frayed edges. Avoid synthetic fabrics that can melt.
- Area protection. Use blankets and screens to shield others and nearby combustibles from sparks and arc flash.
- Program. Follow OSHA requirements, the manufacturer's instructions and your site's hot work permit and fire watch rules.
Common questions
Do I still need safety glasses under a welding helmet?
Yes. Safety glasses protect your eyes from slag and debris when the helmet is raised, such as while chipping and grinding.
