Industrial Workwear
Modern clothing for the workplace has to satisfy a wide range of different
requirements. It must be ideally suited to specific working conditions, promote
a sense of identification with the company and be accepted unreservedly by the
wearers. This applies particularly to textiles for personal protection equipment
(PPE), because this can only do its job if it is worn correctly.
• It must offer adequate protection against the risk which it is hoped to
prevent, without itself becoming a
risk.
• It must be suitable for conditions in
the workplace.
• It must take account of ergonomic requirements, and health & safety
expectations of the worker, and fit
the wearer well.
Protective clothing that is comfortable to wear plays an important part in
ensuring that the wearer feels physically at ease doing his job and is motivated
to perform well.

High Temperature Textiles
High Temperature Textiles protects people, property or equipment when exposed to
welding spark, spatter, or high heat that could result in expensive damages
including major fires.
In major refinery shutdown welding blankets are used as equipment covers to
protect sensitive equipment from the potential damage that can be caused by
welding splatter coming into contact with the equipment. Catwalks would be lined
with welding blanket material to prevent welding spark and spatter from falling
onto other levels and potentially igniting fires where there may be petroleum
spills or simply keeping the spark from landing on people working on lower
levels. |

Lifting & Fall Protection
The following factors are key considerations to provide
maximum fall protection safety and to ensure compliance with regulations and
standards.
Warnings - Always read all instructions
and warnings contained on the product and packaging before using any fall
protection equipment.
Inspection - All fall protection
equipment must be inspected prior to each use.
Training - All workers should be trained by a Competent
Person in the proper use of fall protection products.
Regulations - Understand all Federal,
State, Local and Provincial regulations pertaining to fall protection before
selecting and using the equipment.
Rescue Planning - Minimizing the time
between a fall occurrence and medical attention of the worker is vitally
important. A thorough rescue program should be established prior to using fall
protection equipment.
System Components - Only components that
are fully compatible with one another should be used. Fall arrest systems are
designed and tested as complete systems and should be used in this way.
What to Do After a Fall - After a fall
occurs, all components of the fall arrest system should be removed from service. |
