Safety and PPE

The place of safety and personal protective equipment at our workplace and our homes today is so fundamental. At the workplace, they serve to guarantee the safety, comfort and efficiency of workers while at work. Nevertheless, they are not only used by the workers but also by visitors to the workplace too. Hence, the general importance of having this safety and personal protective equipment.

These safety products are first and foremost considered an essential set of devices and accessories that is to be supplied and provided for before starting work in any type of workplace and also in our homes. Without them, according to international rules and regulations, no work is supposed to take place and no one is to visit the workplace.

Safety and personal protective equipment is a set of equipment that is worn or used to protect an individual from potential workplace hazards. They are designed to keep one safe from all kinds of health and physical injuries, even death, in the workplace. These health and physical damages can be a result of fire outbreaks, trips and falls, contact with electricals, mechanicals, radiological, chemicals, heat, airborne particulate matter, etc.

It is a standard practice for all workplaces to have a complete safety program or system in order to ensure the maximum protection of lives and properties. This complete safety program should contain some Personal Protective Equipment; Fire Fighting Chemicals, Equipment and Accessories; Traffic Safety Equipment and Fall Protection Devices where applicable. Thus, your safety program is not complete without products from these different safety categories. 

Some examples of this safety and personal protective equipment are gloves, safety glasses, safety shoes, helmets, bodysuits, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, rope grabs, barrier reflectors, traffic drums, fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, fire blankets, etc. As simple as some may seem, their importance in the workplace can not be overemphasized. This has been reiterated in the report of the International Labour Organization that over 600,000 deaths are recorded yearly as a result of workplace hazards.

As identified above, there are different categories as well as types of this safety and personal protective equipment. They vary according to the industry, work environment, nature of work done, or the potential danger involved. The implication of this is that the required safety equipment for a welder is not the same as that of a mason or the person dealing with dangerous chemicals and explosives. On this note, you must know the necessary safety and protective equipment that suits your needs at all times.

However, there are some industries and vocations where workers are more vulnerable. Examples are: Agriculture, Construction, Manufacturing, Mining etc
