Working in a foundry is a slalom between multiple hazards: molten metal splashes, radiant heat sources, accidental contact with flames, and not only that, you can also run into mechanical hazards such as abrasion and cutting
Therefore, knowing and choosing the right safety equipment to wear is the key to avoiding even serious accidents as much as possible.
Today we want to talk about the latest product to join the COVAL HEAT line: the aluminized heat resistant gaiter with fastening button, which is definitely a great ally in all risky tasks in foundries.
This PPE, in fact, has certain features that make it much more advantageous than other garments:
- The aluminized fabric protects adequately from accidental contact with flames and resists radiant heat and molten metal splashes.
- Unlike normal gaiters with elastic, which slip over the shoe, the button allows for no loops under the sole, which could snag while moving, thus avoiding unpleasant injuries.
- The model is interchangeable and they are compatible with two models of heat resistant shoes: Apollo and Poseidon.
- They are ISO 11612:2015 - ISO 11611:2015 certified.
Safety and comfort in one PPE, conceived and designed for every worker and ideal for use in the sectors:
- Foundries
- Glassworks
- Steelmaking environments
What about the welding industry?
For the welding industry, one of the main rules to keep in mind is that the whole body must be covered; very often, in fact, we come across welders with bare arms or exposed necks, when in fact even these parts are continually at risk of being burned or worse, burned. Even for this type of at-risk workers we have the solution: the welding gaiter with fastening button from the SPARK line , made of split leather.
Here, too, protection from heat and mechanical hazards is optimal and, in addition, the gaiter is ISO 11611:20215 certified, so it is resistant to glowing sparks.
The material used offers not only excellent thermal insulation, but also high performance against mechanical hazards, such as abrasion, cutting, puncturing and tearing for:
- Any kind of welding
- Maintenance of hot tools
- Exposure to welding spatter and mechanical hazards
