PORTWEST FR18 Flame Selection Notes
Use this item as part of a hazard-based eye and face protection programme. For Malaysia and Singapore workplaces, select by the actual risk first: impact, splash, dust, glare, UV, laser, welding, heat or wider face exposure.
Where It Fits
| Product type | Welding, heat or arc protection |
| Product range | Face shields, visors and components |
| Typical use | Grinding, cutting, splash control, heat, welding, arc flash, forestry, rescue or helmet-mounted face protection tasks. |
| Selection note | Confirm visor material, brow guard or helmet bracket compatibility, impact rating, optical clarity and whether safety glasses or goggles are required underneath. |
Standards and Procurement Notes
Common procurement references include EN 166 and ANSI/ISEA Z87.1. For Singapore projects, confirm the site requirement such as SS 473, EN 166 or ANSI Z87.1, and keep lens/frame markings aligned with the worksite risk assessment.
Common Questions
Can this replace safety glasses or goggles?
A face shield usually supplements, rather than replaces, safety glasses or goggles. Confirm the task risk assessment before use.
Can it be supplied for project or bulk purchase?
Yes. Contact Safetyware with model, quantity, site requirement and delivery location.
What should users check before wearing it?
Inspect lenses or visors for scratches, cracks, coating damage, loose parts and poor fit. Replace damaged eyewear or components promptly because optical clarity is part of safe use.
