I went to welding school and got my SMAW structural certification and not once was told to use a respirator or that we even needed one. They said blowing your nose with black stuff coming out was just part of the job lol. I just ordered a 3M respirator and will always use it now
@@automotivetech7590 from what I know the black stuff can also come from metal shaving when grinding. When I started using n75's in the shop my nose blew clean. For noxious fumes IIRC the filter specs will tell you that
Good evening . Here in the Phillipines, I love you. Video that cear the health and safety of the workers Welders. I am a welder. Working here in the Philippines, in Zamboanga City , one of the plants that makes a can Sardines. It's seems it's been a habit or carles, of the safety of welders and others workers. Coz we do not use safety respirator here. And, even using grinding equipment, fi there is a Safety checkups happens , the company is taking workers to be use the equipments coz there is a inspections , but after,, that when the safety inspector got away. They get back to no safety use and luck of safety equipment. And our salary is only for a 316 peso. Hope your help here to improve our safety. Us Welder. And outer workers.. I love my work and family,
We are the producers of the filter box assembly machine of cup -type dust mask machine and anti -virus mask. We look forward to making friends with you.
@@Christianmendez-ig8xg funny you ask i was just thinking about this video a year later. I had to drop out a week after i made this comment because of no ventilation at all at my school i was spitting black/blowing black chunks at the end of every day for couple months. I also messed up my eyes pretty good because poorly fitted helmet i didnt know better and instructor couldnt care less . I still love the idea of welding and am good enough to spot weld and small jobs now but nothing is worth my eyes or lungs.
