Dressing a WELDER
Dressing a WELDER
Every job presents its own set of challenges, necessitating specific clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE). While safety remains paramount, comfort is equally essential. In this series, we'll delve into the tailored attire and PPE for various occupations, highlighting the delicate balance between safety and comfort that ensures workers can perform their duties effectively and securely. We begin our journey with welding, exploring the specific clothing and safety gear crucial for welders.
Risks and dangers
Risks and dangers
Welding isn't just a job—it's a demanding craft fraught with risks like ultraviolet and infrared radiation, intense heat, smoke, fumes, and noise, not to mention electrical hazards. Without the right gear, welders face the peril of electric shocks, hearing impairment, burns, and a host of other health issues.
Proper clothing and protective equipment are non-negotiables in this line of work. They're the frontline defence against potential hazards. Consider this: exposure to ultraviolet and infrared radiation can lead to overheating, corneal inflammation, and even cataracts. Meanwhile, inhaling fumes and gases can spell lung diseases and, in severe cases, cancer.
Safe from Flames and Heat
Safe from Flames and Heat
That's where our specialized MULTINORM clothing collection comes in. Crafted specifically for challenging environments where workers face heat, flame, and electric arcs, it meets the most stringent safety standards. Think protection against heat and flame during welding, as well as shielding from the thermal effects of electric discharge. Our collection is certified to meet standards like EN 11612, EN 1149-5, EN 11611, and EN 61482.
But clothing is just one part of the equation. Welders also rely on crucial accessories like welding hoods, designed to safeguard their eyes and face. Paired with leather welding gloves fortified with Kevlar fibre, compliant with EN 12477 and EN 407 standards, these form an indispensable shield against the perils of the trade.
And let's not forget about footwear. Welders need shoes that go beyond just comfort—they must meet the rigorous safety standards outlined in EN 20345:2022 S3, providing protection and stability in hazardous environments.

Protection Without Compromise
Protection Without Compromise
The multi-standard coverall offers comprehensive protection for the entire body. As with all models in the MULTINORM collection, it safeguards against heat, fire, and the thermal effects of an electric arc, making it ideal for welding and related processes. For optimal comfort and performance, we recommend a lightweight viscose T-shirt as the base layer. This T-shirt is comfortable to wear, provides a cooling effect, and prevents the generation of static electricity.
