Custom Protection for the Metal Industry

In metalworking, safety comes first. Employees are exposed daily to hazardous materials, high temperatures, flying metal particles, and long hours working behind screens. At Seeh, we understand these risks and offer custom eye and hearing protection, specifically developed for the unique challenges of the metal industry.

Risk

Welding fumes and dust due to inadequate extraction

A full-face mask is sometimes mandatory when welding, which poses a problem for those who wear glasses. Standard glasses do not fit inside the mask, and the temples break the seal.

What Do the Laws and Regulations Say?

wet- en regelgeving
Working Conditions Act Article 3

Under Article 3 of the Working Conditions Act, employers are required to protect employees against risks to their eyes and hearing. In a workshop environment involving grinding, compressed air, and machinery noise, this duty is particularly significant.

informatie
RAE

In your risk assessment and evaluation (RAE), you determine the necessary protection for each role and workstation.

europese wet- en regelgeving
European standards

Eye protection falls under EN ISO 16321-1, the successor to EN 166. Custom-molded earplugs fall under EN 352-2. Only certified products qualify as protective equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions for Metalworking Companies

Which eye and hearing protection is mandatory in the metal industry?

That is determined in your risk assessment and evaluation (RI&E) for each role and workstation. For welding sparks and metal splinters, eye protection according to EN ISO 16321-1 is the standard, while hearing protection is mandatory for noise levels above the threshold. A welder therefore requires different protection than a quality inspector working behind a screen. We are happy to help you translate your RI&E into a concrete policy for each role.

Can employees who wear glasses use a full-face mask for welding or grinding?

Not with regular glasses, as the temples break the mask's seal. The solution is a prescription mask insert, a frame that fits inside the mask without compromising the seal. Our mask inserts are compatible with full-face masks from brands like MSA and Dräger, while maintaining the mask's safety certification.

Can colleagues and warning signals still be heard when wearing custom-molded earplugs?

Yes, custom-molded earplugs provide selective attenuation. The filters are tuned to the noise levels of your workshop, reducing harmful noise while keeping speech and warning signals audible. This makes them safer than universal earplugs, which often provide too much or too little attenuation.

Are the safety glasses resistant to sparks and metal splinters?

Yes. Our lenses are lightweight, impact-resistant, and feature coatings that prevent scratches and smudging. This ensures the glasses remain clear, even with daily intensive use in the welding department. All safety glasses are certified according to EN ISO 16321-1 and carry the CE mark.

How do I keep track of orders for the shop floor and office?

Through the Seeh portal, you can easily add employees to the scheme and set the required protection for each job role. They can have their protective gear fitted at any of our 400+ Hans Anders stores and pick it up there, with no out-of-pocket expenses. The portal gives you a clear overview of usage and costs per branch or department.
