Molten metal protective clothing to minimise the risks of splashes
Working in the molten metal industry can be dangerous. With the high temperatures used in the foundry, dealing with flames, and the risk of molten metal splashes, there are numerous hazards you need to ensure your staff are protected against. With any industry, when you contact us about your workwear needs, we will help you perform a risk assessment by offering alterative fabrics and styles of garments to be reviewed to assess fitness for purpose to ensure the correct safety wear is selected to meet the relevant industry regulations. We are able to offer trialing of workwear, wash processing and repairs to help you make the right choices. Our molten metal protective clothing is no different. Different levels of protection are required for staff members based on the metals they work with and we offer a vast range of protective garments to suit all situations.
ISO 9185 is the standard used to assess the resistance of workwear materials to molten metal splash. E1 is the minimum standard for those working with iron, steel, copper and brass although E2 and E3 offer greater protection. D1 is the minimum standard for dealing with aluminium and molten minerals but similarly D2 and D3 offer better protection. Our range of workwear surpasses the minimum standards offering greater levels of resistance. Code E metals are more at risk of penetrating workwear so it may be appropriate to consider heavier fabrics for your workwear such as wool blended fabrics.
We have a variety of molten metal protective garments available for staff including collared tops and jackets, trousers, aprons and neck protectors. There are specific requirements relating to the style of garments, but the goal is to cover as much as the body for maximum protection. When providing you with uniforms we offer a measurement service for your staff as the fit needs to be of a certain standard. Jackets must cover the tops of the trousers when bending down and trousers should be wide and long enough to cover the top of the footwear. Likewise, if a molten metal splash incident was to occur, while the garments will offer protection and prevent burns, they will only do so for a short period of time. Exposed garments need to be removed so quick release fastenings are fitted to enable your staff to get changed quickly. Our garments adhere to all the necessary requirements and we’ll ensure when fitting your staff, they are protected accordingly.
