Helmets that comply with the thermal performance requirements of AS/NZS 1801: 1998 Occupational Protective Helmets. Can be used for hot environments and are suitable for steel-making and similar industries. An important feature of the helmet design is that all the edges are smooth and have no sharp protrusions. For general purpose use, choose white helmets as they provide better heat reflection and can be seen in poor lighting conditions. In areas such as underground mining where conspicuousness is important, its a good idea to have the helmet marked with reflective colouring at the front, rear and sides. Bump caps are used in factories with overhanging machinery (such as meat processing). They do not absorb the same level of impact as the safety helmet and should not be used as a substitute. For more information on head protection refer to Australian Standards: AS 1800, Occupational Protective Helmets AS/NZS 1801: 1998. Of course, choosing the right head and face protection depends on the type of environment you work in. For an assessment contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 1300 723 378. BOC can also arrange to emboss your company logo on helmets (minimum order of 40 helmets).
Depending on the work site you can choose from the following styles: Cap style lighter and better balanced, suitable for confined areas and for wearing accessories such as earmuffs, and welding visors
Hat style full brim to the face, ears and back of neck for protection against the harsh elements

Speedglas flexview
Ideal for poor lighting conditions The Speedglas FlexView has a big, 120 x 90 mm clear polycarbonate plate that is ideal for precision weld under low light conditions. The user simply lifts up the spring-mounted Speedglas filter assembly for weld prep. The spring holds the auto-darkening filter securely on top of the helmet, giving the welder a big, clear view behind the FlexView protection plate. upgrade Speedglas 9000 helmets to flexView Existing Speedglas 9000 helmets can be easily transformed using the Speedglas FlexView Conversion Kit to install both the welding filter holder and the clear polycarbonate plate. Impact resistant The clear FlexView protection plate conforms to Australian Standards. The polycarbonate lens is appropriate for grinding, sanding, cleaning and drilling, as well as the protected inspection of newly-completed welds.

Speedglas Protop
a perfectly balanced safety helmet for welders Speedglas ProTop, a combination of safety helmet, welding visor, and auto-darkening filter, is especially designed for welders working in areas with overhead hazards, such as cranes, protruding beams and moving machinery. The key to the Speedglas ProTop system is the exclusive pivot mechanism that connects the welding visor to the safety helmet. Traditional welding safety helmets create a heavy forward centre-of-gravity when the welding visor is raised; as a result, the user feels off-balance, and the leveraged weight puts additional strain on neck muscles. The ProTop pivot mechanism has two sets of axes; one to lift the welding visor away from the welder's face, and another axis to nest the welding visor down low over the safety helmet, in a perfectly balanced, locked-down position. The welding visor automatically unlocks when the welder pulls it back down into position over the face.

no compromises needed
The new control buttons enhance adjustment of the filters shade, sensitivity, delay, and on/off functions for personal settings. By selecting just the right settings for each task, the welder reduces eye strain and improves the quality of every weld. All of these options are about user comfort, personal preference, and having the filter perform exactly the way the welder wants for each specific welding application.

Hearing Protection
Do people have to shout at each other at normal speaking distance to make themselves heard? Do you go home with ringing in your ears? Do you use equipment or tools that make loud noise? Noise is measured in units called decibels (dB). Here are some decibel levels of common noises:
Your ear is a delicate instrument. Tiny hair cells vibrate when sounds reach them. Hair cells relay sound to the brain through the auditory nerve. Loud or frequent noises damage the hair cells. Over time, excessive noise may cause the cells to die. Then the auditory nerve cannot pick up the sound and relay it to the brain.Very loud noises, such as jet engines and gun-fire, can damage hearing very quickly. Other noises damage only after youve been around them for hours. A noise that is 85 decibels wont hurt you in the short run, but if youre around it for eight hours or more, you need hearing protection. An essential part of hearing protection is a hearing protection program. Details of such a program are found in AS 1269.3: 2005. Of course, choosing the right hearing protection depends on the type of environment you work in. For an assessment contact your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 1300 723 378.

Respiratory Protection
there are two ways of providing respiratory protection against dusts, fumes and gases.
1. air Purifying Respirators These respirators purify the air using filters. The choice of filters depends on the level of contaminants in the air. Sometimes a combination of gas and dust filters is necessary. There are two types of air purifying respirators. One is non-powered which relies on the wearer to draw in air by inhaling. The other is powered which relies on a battery-powered motor to draw in the air. 2. Supplied air Respirator This method delivers clean air or oxygen from an uncontaminated source. Types of supplied air respirators include; air hose air delivered through a hose by natural breathing or a pump; air-line air delivered through an airline via a compressor or compressed air cylinders; self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) compressed air comes in bottles strapped to the users body. Note: If you are unsure of the extent of the atmospheric hazard then respirators should be worn. Knowing what type of respirator depends on the nature of your work. For an assessment of the correct protection to use, consult your local BOC specialist or ring the BOC hotline on 1300 723 378. For more information on respiratory protection refer to Australian Standards: AS/NZS 1715: 1994 Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices, AS/NZS 1716:2003 Respiratory Protective Devices, AS 2299 Occupational Driving Operations, AS 2865 Safe working in confined spaces.

there are different types of protection offered depending on the grade of toe caps.
type 1 and type 4 (waterproof) is a Grade 1 toe cap and is recommended for agriculture, mining and quarrying, bush undertakings (e.g. sawmills, building and construction), waterfront, heavy engineering, fire fighting, freezing works, transport in industries listed above, heavy woodwork, meatworks. type 2 (Grade 2 toe cap) is suitable for light engineering, transport, storage and communication, light woodworking, e.g. cabinet making. type 3 (Grade 3 toe cap) is suitable for light-duty factory work, process work, delivery work, field work (not handling heavy material). other features to look for when choosing footwear Fuel-resistant outsoles (recommended if the wearer has contact with organic solvents)
Penetration-resistant midsoles to avoid foot injuries Electricity conductive properties to minimise electrostatic build-up Anti-static properties

System extractors
These are used in large installations with multiple outlets. The range of versatile Extractors is designed specifically for high pollutant loads. The first choice for any multi-inlet system. Each extractor incorporates a range of unique and practical features. Self-cleaning, backward-inclined impellers prevent pollutant buildup. High-pressure rotors allow small diameter ducting to be used, with correspondingly lower costs and better pollutant transport velocities. Small systems with three or four Flexi Arms are easily designed using the Ozone Duct Kit. The Duct Kit can be connected to either a Roof or Ducted System Extractor.

Bottlechock
Bottlechock positively grips the cylinder. Its unique design is in full contact with the cylinders surface. This system holds the cylinder firmly, in position and secure, unlike others where the cylinder must remain loose to allow unfastening. Bottlechock protects the cylinder, reduces damage to valuable gauges, prevents movement, and provides a safe and secure environment. The quick release fastener allows cylinders to be removed or secured quickly and easily. No lifting is required which reduces possible back injury.
