10 Industrial Safety Products Your Workers Need For Protection And Compliance
Operating an industrial facility safely is no longer about regulatory compliance only. Even with all the rules intact, accidents may happen and you should be prepared to minimise injuries and fatalities at all times.
According to the Labour Bureau and NCRB data, about 4,000 industrial accidents were reported annually this year. Trade Unions believe that this number could be more, signifying that there is a dearth of safety essentials in the industrial sector even today.
As industry 4.0 is on the move already, plant workers and facility managers should be extra careful. Investing in safety gear is non-negotiable under the transition. It doesn’t matter if you’re managing a manufacturing plant, a refinery, a food processing line, a fabrication facility or even a warehouse. Keeping the right safety equipment in hand drastically reduces accident risks and helps the facility operate at its best.
But what kind of industrial safety equipment do you need?
The following list will give you some ideas as to what you already have and what you should arrange for ASAP.
1. Safety Helmets: Let Protection Start At The Top
One of the most essential workplace safety solutions, the helmet protects workers on site from falling objects, overhead hazards and also electrical risks. While almost every facility provides safety helmets for their workers on site, the right kind of gear can increase the protection manifold.
Through Safeguard Solutions, we deliver a plethora of protective helmets made of hard, durable materials that last the long term. These are also quite comfortable for day-to-day wear, especially in tough conditions where gear discomfort is not an option.
Our compliant helmets feature:
- Lightweight designs for comfort
- Adjustable fits for all head sizes
- Durable materials that last
- Zero neck strain or other issues
Teams working in scaffolding, on industrial plant floors, or in construction areas can protect their heads with these safety helmets offering maximum security with zero discomfort.
2. Welding Helmets: Protection For Fabrication Teams
There’s no denying that welding is a high risk job because of exposure to intense UV/IR radiation, molten sparks, and extreme temperatures. These can cause damage to the eyes and faces of workers if proper protection is ignored.
Being a reputed provider of industrial safety supplies, we have a premium collection of automatic welding helmets with auto darkening filters. Yes, our helmets adjust to the light and temperature conditions instantly during welding, giving your eyes and face a superior level of comfort and protection.
Some other benefits of our helmets include:
- Protection against welder’s flash
- Reduction of strain on the eyes
- Ergonomic design for comfort
- Adjustable straps for long wears
These also have a lightweight design (500 grams only) so you can wear it during the entire day without feeling stressed or heavy on the head.
3. Safety Specs: Protecting Your Eyes Always
Seems small and insignificant but highly beneficial in safeguarding workers’ eyes on site. A single spark, light flash or flying materials can cause permanent damage to the eyes if not protected.
Our safety specs are ideal for fabrication workshops, construction sites, and labs, where such incidents are quite frequent. These are exceptionally effective against flying debris, dust, and chemical splashes and light flashes. With anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings, these glasses will serve you the long term even under demanding conditions.
Additional features that you should know:
- 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB rays can be blocked
- Compliant with ANSI Z87.1 and CE EN166 standards
4. Hand Gloves: Increased Protection And Efficiency
From handling corrosive chemicals to sharp objects, every stage of onsite work requires the right kind of hand protection gear. Our mechanical/chemical hand gloves meet the criteria quite efficiently.
Made of Nitrile, latex, and Kevlar blends, the glove materials are meant to last you long. These are also flexible enough not to compromise comfort in a range of tasks. Whether you are handling hazardous chemicals or repairing equipment, these gloves will always protect your hands from abrasions and injuries.
5. Safety Shoes: Ensuring Stability, Safety And Comfort
Accidental trips on uneven floors, fall hazards and injuries are quite common in industrial workplaces. To minimize such incidents, we have brought industrial safety shoes and boots for workers in construction sites, manufacturing units and power houses.
Our safety footwear comes with inherent water and slip resistant soles, reinforced toes and even puncture proof midsoles. These also protect against chemicals, oils and electrical hazards.
As one of the reputed PPE suppliers in the country, we make sure our range of safety gear are entirely compliant with international standards.
6. Ear Muffs: Hearing Protection In The Long Term
Our ear muffs come with NRR, ANSI and CE ratings to protect workers’ ears from chances of hearing damage, especially in areas around turbines, compressors, cutting machines, blowers and other noise-creating equipment.
These also help improve focus and reduce fatigue and dizziness caused by excessive noise. Our foldable, padded ear muffs can be worn all day for protection against shrill machinery noises. Further, the easy-adjustable headband allows for a comfortable fit for all head sizes.
7. LED Torch For Illumination In Hazard Zones
In industrial zones like oil & gas, marine, mining, and chemical facilities, you need safe illumination that doesn’t trigger explosions. Our ATEX Zone 0 & 1 certified LED torches are ideal for such environments.
These not only operate safely around dangerous liquid or gaseous chemicals but also offer continuous LED illumination during power shutdowns or inspections.
Our explosion-proof torches also flaunt other industrial features, like:
- Resistance against water and physical impacts
- Available in handheld, headlamp, or mounted versions for workers' convenience
8. Wet And Dry Vacuum Cleaner: Safer Workplace
You may be wondering what cleaner floors have to do with safety right? Well, dust, debris and sharp objects lying on the floors may not be so safe for people working onsite 24X7. Spilled chemicals, dust sprays and metal fillings add to the mix of unsafe materials.
As a renowned provider of workplace safety solutions, we offer you a highly efficient, wet and dry industrial vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter for fine particle capture.
Cleanups with this take a lot less time than standard vacuum cleaners. Also, it’s quite capable for large cleaning jobs with up to 100 litres capacity. Say goodbye to liquid spills or metallic debris in minutes with our industrial cleaning machine.
9. Gas Detecting Tool - Preventing Major Hazards
In some confined spaces, gas detection is an effective safety method to prevent hazards. Chemical spills and leaks may go unnoticed at times. But with our gas detection toolkit, you can easily prevent such minor incidents from turning into major catastrophes.
Our gas detectors can sense CO2, N₂, Oxygen, and other hazardous gases beyond the safe limit. With multiple alarm settings for breaches, you can also get an idea about the level of danger and take necessary actions immediately.
These industrial safety tools have data logging features to keep records of such hazardous breach incidents. Highly sensitive to toxic gases, these gas detectors are ideal for chemical units, manufacturing plants or storage facilities.
10. Fall Protection Kit: Protecting Teams At A Height
For workers performing their duties at heights, fall protection harness is mandatory. From inspection and maintenance to installation, scaffolding and several other functions take place at heights. Without a sturdy harness, the risks of falls, even fatal ones, increases exponentially.
No worries at all! At Safeguard Solutions, we have the best kind of fall protection gear with lanyards, harnesses, and anchorage connectors for your team’s safety.
- Compliant with both OSHA and ANSI
- Secure anchorage to maximise safety
- Adjustable harnesses to suit every requirement
- Weight capacity of up to 150 kg for different body types
Be it construction, utilities, maintenance, or facility operations, our fall protection kit ensures maximum safety for dedicated teams on duty.
