New & improved 2022 practical guide to welding fume control

After the positive response to the Practical Guide to Welding Fume Control in 2021, AWS has now launched a revised and improved version in 2022 to give workplaces even clearer and more practical advice to keep welding fume exposure to an acceptable level.

Notable additions in this new and improved version of the Practical Guide to Welding Fume Control includes a look into the most common chemicals workers may be exposed to when welding, the source of these chemicals in the welding fume, the respective health effects, and the current WEL released by Safe Work Australia.

AWS also delve deeper into the advantages and disadvantages of the different forms of LEV, including Fixed LEV, Portable LEV, and On-Gun Fume Extraction.

The original 16-page document is now 20 pages.

SHOWA: Putting safety and the environment in focus

SHOWA Group is reducing its impact on the environment with Eco Best Technology (EBT) biodegradable gloves. 

Launched in 2012, the single-use nitrile gloves are an industry first, offering an extensive selection of biodegradable hand protection.  

The strategy to reduce the impact that gloves have on the environment remains the company’s primary focus, as it expands EBT into every colour and millimetre thickness within the product offering, including reusable gloves.  

Currently there are seven different biodegradable EBT gloves available, each covering a range of applications. 

The gloves offer durable protection against chemicals, viruses and mechanical risks.  

The biodegradable nitrile gloves decompose 20-times faster than traditional nitrile gloves, taking one to five years in active landfills, whereas for non-EBT products this takes more than 100 years.  

SHOWA is a fully integrated manufacturer of both medical and industrial personal protective equipment (PPE) hand protection.  

As a response to the overwhelming amount of plastic waste and the growing climate crisis, SHOWA is investing heavily in research and development for products with a reduced impact on the environment. 

 

Nivek Industries launches new universal mounting system

TED’s ever-expanding range of abilities has resulted in the development of more than 40 different individual attachments.

In an effort to reduce the number of attachments required by customers, Nivek Industries is excited to release its new universal mounting system.

The versatile modular system allows operators to design their own layout to suit a far wider range of tasks by simply rearranging a handful of brackets.

This not only reduces the required storage space, it also opens up a whole new world of tasks the TED can perform, only limited by your imagination.

E*STAR reliable firing sequence

Any detonator may miss an occasional fire command or two due to noise or interference, which then results in a misfire.

Issuing simple and redundant fire commands raises the risk of timing offset in the blast array.

To ensure the highest reliability during firing, Austin Powder employs multiple sequenced fire commands (MSFC).

The detonators in the E*STAR system rely on precisely timed fire commands.

Austin Powder’s MSFC standards assure that the detonators receive at least one command to properly function at its delay-time, providing one of the greatest reliabilities in the industry.

Bollé Safety’s Cobra makes a Spectacle

A significant reason for not wearing the correct eyewear is due to the unsuitability of the eyewear for the conditions in which they are used.

In environments where fine particles such as dust or fibres are possible hazards, sealed eyewear that ensures a positive seal between the wearer’s eyes and the environment will provide greater protection by preventing entry through gaps.

The essential all-rounder with a panoramic visual field, Cobra Spectacle offers 180-degree vision and perfect optical quality with a single piece distortion free lens.

Full EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer foam) eye seal maximises protection against dusty environments. Four position tilt adjustable temple arms improve comfort and provide a tighter personalised fit.

Cobra Spectacle is the essential all-rounder, available in clear, smoke or twilight for different light conditions, each offering the Platinum anti-fog, anti-scratch coating for longer wearability.

It is approved to AS/NZS 1337.1.2010 for medium impact protection.

Lift assist stand takes safety, efficiency to new heights

With an impressive reach of three metres high, the all new self-propelled lift assist (LA) stand by Nivek Industries can take the existing benefits of the Lift Assist 40 arm into the tyre bay and beyond, enabling fitters to use it for wheel, tyre, rim and suspension maintenance on even the biggest of machines.

The LA system will assist in reducing manual handling, fatigue, hand injuries as well as short and long term back and shoulder issues. The tyre technician has a far reduced need, if at all, to place their hands near any pinch or crushing points in the rim and wheelbase when using rattling or torqueing equipment.

MaxiCut Ultra: Assured protection for cut environments

A worker’s hands are their most valuable asset, which is why they have to be protected to the greatest extent.

The general thought process is workers will wear gloves during activity therefore reducing workplace injury. The truth is, most injuries happen at work when gloves are taken off, normally due to being too hot to wear, uncomfortable or too restrictive.

Advanced Technology Gloves (ATG) MaxiCut Ultra gloves are designed for people needing cut protection in challenging environments.

Integrating CUTtech technology for high cut-protection (cut level 5C EN388:2016), with AIRtech 360 degree breathability to deliver high levels of comfort and wearer satisfaction.

MaxiCut Ultra gloves are reinforced between the thumb and forefinger for improved durability, while not compromising fit and feel.

Lift Assist stand lifting safety and efficiency to completely new heights

With an impressive reach of 3 metres high, the all new self-propelled Lift Assist (LA) stand by Nivek Industries can take the existing benefits of the Lift Assist 40 arm into the tyre bay and beyond enabling fitters to use it for wheel, tyre, rim and suspension maintenance on even the biggest of machines.

The tyre technician has a far reduced need if at all to place their hands near any pinch or crushing points in the rim and wheelbase when using rattling or torqueing equipment.

MaxiFlex Ultimate: Precision handling in dry environments

A worker’s hands are their most valuable asset. That is why they have to be protected to the greatest extent.

The general thought process is workers will wear gloves during activity, therefore reducing workplace injury.

The truth is, most injuries happen at work when gloves are taken off, normally due to being too hot to wear, uncomfortable or too restrictive.

ATG MaxiFlex Ultimate gloves incorporate AD-APT to counter the key challenge of hot hands.

This technology is activated by the movement of your hands and increased temperature within the gloves, releasing a natural cooling agent that keeps your hands dry and 31 per cent cooler than standard gloves.

Choosing MaxiFlex gloves can assist with reduced worker hand fatigue as well as reducing injury frequency rate (IFR), as workers are less likely to remove glove protection due to hands being too hot or limited dexterity.

MaxiFlex Ultimate gloves have outstanding durability, exceeding the highest score required for abrasion resistance in the EN388 standard.

MaxiFlex gloves provide the solution to improve production efficiencies through increased flexibility and precision handling.
