Welding is one of the most demanding trades from a personal protection standpoint. Sparks, molten metal spatter, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, intense heat, and toxic fumes create multiple simultaneous hazards for the welder. Proper welding protection is not limited to the hands and face — it covers the entire body. At yoursafety.gr, we stock a comprehensive range of welding protection equipment certified to EN ISO 11611 and EN ISO 11612.
The hazards welders face every day
Workers performing welding operations are exposed daily to:
- Sparks and molten metal spatter: Can cause burns to skin and eyes and ignite unprotected clothing
- Optical radiation (UV and IR): The welding arc emits intense ultraviolet and infrared radiation that damages eyes and skin—often without immediate symptoms
- Heat and flame: Equipment must withstand high temperatures and contact with hot surfaces and materials
- Toxic fumes: Released during the welding process, requiring simultaneous respiratory protection

Welding Gloves
Welding gloves are the most fundamental item of protection for any welder. Constructed from high-grade split or grain leather with reinforced stitching and insulating lining, they protect against sparks, heat, and mechanical hazards while maintaining sufficient dexterity for handling components and controlling the welding torch.
Welding Aprons
Welding aprons protect the torso and legs from sparks and molten metal spatter during bench work or standing operations. Made from leather or flame-resistant materials, they cover the front of the body. Available in half-apron versions for short-duration tasks and full-length aprons for extended welding sessions.
Welding Trousers
Welding trousers made of flame-resistant or leather materials protect the legs from sparks and heat, particularly during work below waist level or in awkward positions. Certified to EN ISO 11611, they provide reliable protection without restricting movement.
Welding Spats & Gaiters
Welding spats cover the lower legs and footwear, preventing sparks and molten metal from entering boots. Particularly useful during overhead welding or when working in a seated or kneeling position. Easy to fit and remove with clip or Velcro fastening systems.
Welding Sleeves
Welding sleeves protect the arms and elbows when a full apron is not required. Made from leather or Kevlar, they are commonly used in combination with welding gloves to provide complete upper limb coverage. A practical choice for MIG/MAG and TIG welding applications.
Welding Helmets & Face Shields
Welding helmets protect the face, eyes, and neck from the dangerous optical radiation of the welding arc. We stock helmets with fixed shade lenses and auto-darkening helmets that instantly darken when the arc is struck—providing greater safety and comfort for extended welding sessions, as the welder can see clearly before and after each weld without lifting the helmet.
Welding Caps
Welding caps protect the head and hair from sparks and heat—particularly important during overhead welding where sparks fall directly downward. Made from flame-resistant materials, they are worn beneath the welding helmet and should be considered standard equipment for any professional welder.
Why choose welding protection from yoursafety.gr?

Frequently asked questions about welding protection
What certification should welding protection equipment carry? Clothing and equipment for welding must be certified to EN ISO 11611 (specifically for welding and allied processes) or EN ISO 11612 (general protection against heat and flame). Uncertified products do not provide guaranteed protection and should not be used in professional welding environments.
Do I need all the equipment at the same time? It depends on the type of welding and the working position. For professional use, a complete set is recommended—gloves, helmet, apron or trousers, and cap as a minimum. Overhead welding adds spats and sleeves to the required equipment.
