Welding Protection & Partitions
Welding operations present a serious safety hazard — not just to welders, but to anyone nearby. Intense UV radiation, infrared light, sparks, and hot projectiles can all pose a risk to eyes, skin, and equipment if not properly contained.
Correct equipment and protection is required, especially when welding around bystanders or other welders. This is extremely important for health and safety. In order to protect others, adequate protection needs to be in place.
ScreenFlex® Welding Strip Curtains are designed to create safe, compliant welding zones — protecting surrounding personnel without obstructing visibility or workflow.
Our ScreenFlex® products are used to protect personnel against dangerous radiation and projectiles emitted from welding. Clearway’s ScreenFlex® can be installed anywhere where welding may be taking place and to protect those in the immediate area. Metal welding causes concentrations of energy, which are dissipated as harmful light. This can be dangerous to onlookers or personnel in the immediate area.
Rays produced by welding arcs cause irreversible short term and long-term damage to the eyes and can be harmful to the skin. The protection is for people who are observing the welding work so they can be protected by the dangerous light. ScreenFlex® is designed specifically to block dangerous light from passing through and protects onlookers from dangerous projectiles. ScreenFlex® complies with national and international welding standards (ISO 25980, EN 1598, AWS F2.3, etc.)
