Problems

Hot slag, molten metal, flying sparks, heat burns, UV radiation, open flames are created in welding.  Cases of permanent ear damage to welders are reported to WorkSafe due to hot slag particles.  It is documented these hot slag enter the welders’ ear canals and burn their ear drums, leading to ear infections, hearing loss, ringing in the ears, and balance problems.  These painful burns can take a very long time to heal properly.  And in some cases, surgery may be needed.

Solutions
Welders are at risk of ear damage from hot slag and should cover your ears when welding.  Our Hat protects your ear drums against hot slag particles.  It also gives added protection to your ears, eyes, face from hot slag, flying sparks, flash burn, UV radiation, and prevent injuries under your helmets.
