Personal Safety
All over the world, workplace accidents cause injury and death. Personal safety and the use of protective equipment should not be taken lightly. Some consider it unnecessary and difficult to use protective equipment. Hot coolant can burn you, and a sharp object can cut you. Other things like inhaling brake dust or working in a noisy area can cause more serious illnesses later in life.
On the other hand, accidents can be expensive due to lost productivity, disability, rehabilitation and litigation costs.
Fortunately, workplace risks are now fairly well understood, and we can protect ourselves before it’s too late. Protective equipment and safety measures protect from injuries. The use of most protective equipment involves common sense.
Personal protective equipment is intended to protect the body from injury and infection. Includes protective clothing, footwear, eye, hearing, head, face, gloves, masks and respirators. Before undertaking any work activity, consider all potential hazards and select appropriate personal protective equipment.
