Swiss Air System FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using a powered air-fed half mask system for welding.

What is a powered air-fed half mask system?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

It is a respiratory protection system made of a small blower unit, filters, a breathing hose and a half mask worn over the nose and mouth, usually under a welding helmet. The blower draws in air through the filters and pushes the cleaned air along the hose into the mask.

Because the air is pushed in, the pressure inside the mask is slightly higher than outside, which helps keep contaminated air out and makes breathing easier. It is used for welding, grinding and some other dusty or fume-heavy jobs.

What does it protect against and what are its limits?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

It protects against whatever the fitted filters are designed to remove. Particle filters deal with welding fume and dust, and gas or vapour filters can be added for certain gases, vapours or chemicals in the work environment. Filters must be the right type for the hazard.

It does not supply fresh air from a cylinder or compressor, so it must never be used in places where there is not enough oxygen, such as some confined spaces. It does not protect your eyes or face, either, so you still need a suitable welding helmet or visor.

Do I need to be fit tested, and can I wear it with a beard?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

A half mask is a tight-fitting face piece. It only works well if it seals properly on the face, and stubble, beards and some facial hair can break that seal. Under HSE guidance, tight-fitting masks should be fit tested to the individual user for the model and size being worn.

If you have a beard or heavy stubble, a loose-fitting powered helmet or hood is generally a better answer. Ask your employer about fit testing before relying on any tight-fitting mask, and do a quick seal check each time you put it on.

What are the controls and warnings on the unit?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Different systems offer different features. Some have a control panel worn at the chest or on the belt that lets you adjust the airflow and shows information such as the state of the battery and filters. Others are simpler, with a fixed flow setting.

Most have an alarm or indicator that warns if the airflow drops, the filter is clogged or the battery is low. Learn what the signals mean before you start work. If an alarm sounds, move away from the hazard to clean air and check the equipment before going back.
