Clothing as one of the aspects of the welder protection

The workshop of the welder is an important attribute of protection, because during the operation of welding the whole body of a person is at risk. It consists most often of a mask, special cooler, shoes and gloves. Costume – central protection element

The special coomes should be light and soft, but at the same time correspond to GOST. Mark “TR” means that it provides protection against red -hot iron and sparks. Most often, the material of manufacture is tarpaulin or canvas processed by the special. The price of such clothing is located around 5-6 thousand rubles. Moreover, the amount does not include mittens, as well as manual paints that prevent contact with hot iron.

A little about protecting the welder’s legs

GOST exists for welders shoes. Ideally, these are boots with short shafts or leather boots, necessarily a note “TR”. A feature of shoes is the presence of metal records on the outside. Shoes where the lacing is open or shoes having metal nails in the sole are prohibited for the operation of welders.

Protective mask – guarantee of the safe work of the welder

There are various types of masks: traditional, where light filters are clearly fixed; Masks like “chameleon” or automatic masks; Masks with lifting filters. Maxi with light filters as such are called “passive” due to the fact that they uses darkened glass. Its use has both pros and cons of. Hameleon or “active” helmets type can change the degree of dimming of glass depending on the brightness of the welding. This property is given by liquid crystal layers that have a certain position at the beginning of the welding process. This is what helps to avoid blinding at the beginning of the process. There is another type of protection – masks having a respirator. Unfortunately, in Russia, such models are just beginning to appear. But here is the problem in their high cost and some inconvenience, which interferes with the work. They have an infrared cleaner, which can be divided according to 4 criteria: homogeneity, viewing corner, optical class and lightness of light. The unit is the best indicator, the three is the worst. Different types of welding suggest the use of different types of filters. Another important point is the moment of operation of the light filter. If the moment is less than 1 millisecond, then everything is in order. Also do not forget about the size of the visible area when choosing a mask and the reliability of fasteners.

This object has such a fate that involuntarily allocates it among others in Kazakhstan. The bridge across the Ural River in the administrative center of the West Kazakhstan region began to be built in the “good old days”, that is, under the Soviet regime. Since the republic never had their own organizations specialized in this case, bridge builders from different Russian cities worked here here. Then there was a notorious “parade of sovereignty”, followed by an economic crisis. Although the construction of the bridge continued, however, the payment of the executed volumes was now constantly delayed, or even at all moved away for an indefinite period. For this reason, the bridge builders stopped working several times. However, the object in Uralsk is one of the most significant in Kazakhstan, and therefore did not forget about it: the press periodically woke up this topic. Increased attention is also explained by the fact that the bridge across the Urals does not just connect the two banks of the river, it makes up an important link on the shortest path from Central Asia to the European part of Russia. As a result, the story of the invitation of bridge builders from a neighboring state was repeated again and again, without a visible result. There is a rather funny moment in it. A couple of years ago, when the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev arrived in Uralsk, the local authorities invited him to take part in the solemn open… bridge over the Urals. The head of state made sensory words and cut the red ribbon. But when the ceremony ended and the president left, the entrance to the bridge was closed. The fact is that every driver who would decide to update the shortest path from Central Asia to Russia could well have been on the other side, but at the bottom of the river. The object was not over. And the main difficulty was not so much in building a car transition through the Urals itself, but in the construction of multi -kilometer approaches to it through a constantly flooded floodplain. And work here still start and finish. And now in the republic they decided to return to the long -suffering object again. The Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Kazakhstan announced the competition for state procurement of works and services for the reconstruction of the bridge over the Ural River. The required delivery time within 2000. Potential suppliers who meet the qualification requirements stipulated in Article 10 of the Law of Kazakhstan “On public procurement” are allowed to the competition.
