Faceshield Tips and Warnings

When properly installed, Bullard faceshields provide only limited protection from flying particles and splash or spray of hazardous liquids. Certain models, so designated, also provide antiglare protection.

DO NOT use any faceshield unless you also wear suitable primary eye protection devices designed for your work application. If you are not certain which eye protection device to use, ask your employer.

Care shall be taken to recognize the possibility of multiple and simultaneous exposure to a variety of hazards. Adequate protection against the highest level of each of the hazards must be provided.

Operations involving heat may also involve optical radiation. Protection from both hazards shall be provided.

Caution should be exercised in the use of metal frame protective devices in electrical hazard areas. Bullard faceshields are not intended to provide protection in environments that expose the user to open flames or high-energy arcs.

Bullard visors ARE NOT shatterproof. Large objects and/or objects traveling at high speed which strike these faceshields may break or penetrate the visor and cause injury to the wearer's face or eyes. The visor will not protect the eyes from harmful rays.

Avoid areas where the danger of high speed flying particles exists. Be certain that any equipment that creates a potential hazard from flying particles, chemical splash, or molten metal is equipped with appropriate machine guards and safety devices.

Inspect the product frequently and replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

Bullard visors conform to ANSI Z87.1-1989 Standard for face protection when used in combination with Bullard headgear or faceshield brackets.
