We offers a full line of welding jackets and accesories that help protect workers. ASA, LLC has welding jackets, welding helmets, auto-darkening filters, powered-air purifying respirators, supplied-air systems, eye, head and hearing protection and more. Welders have to be comfortable and properly protected when working with welding equipment such as torches and other tools. It is important to protect yourself against heat, sparks and arc burn. However, metal oxides, metal particles and gases produced in some welding operations may result in serious respiratory hazards. We offer 3M respirators products specifically for welding work, welding leather jackets and sleeves and other consumables that when used in combination help provide a complete line of protection for workers. Leather welding bib aprons offer protection below the waist as do other welding clothing such as welding chaps and boots. Welding jackets provide protection from spark and radiation to the upper body, arms, and neck. ANSI Z49.1 standards suggest the protective clothing needed when welding or cutting. In brief,Z49.1 states that “Clothing shall provide sufficient coverage, and be made of suitable materials, to minimize skin burns caused by sparks, spatter, or radiation".
