Do you work in the construction industry on a daily basis? Are you aware of the risks to which workers and visitors on construction sites are exposed?
The number of accidents at work in the construction industry is alarming, so one of the essential processes is the use of Personal Protective Equipment.
The five pieces of personal protective equipment listed below are essential for safety on construction sites:
1st Safety footwear:
Safety footwear is used to protect the feet against injuries caused by falling, sliding and hitting heavy objects, but also to protect against cuts from sharp objects.
At www.norsafe.pt you will find a diverse range of safety shoes, with different weights and materials, as well as different levels of protection.
When working with electricity, it is crucial to choose dielectric footwear that reduces the risk of accidents from contact with electrically conductive materials.
2nd Safety helmet
The purpose of a helmet is to protect the head from impacts caused by shocks, falls or projections of objects that can cause serious or even fatal injuries. Its use is essential!
3rd Hearing protectors
Noise on construction sites is a concern that must be taken into account. The Labor Standards indicate the use of ear protectors for exposure to noise levels above 85 decibels.
4th Goggles
The eyes can be damaged very easily and, as a result, the ability to see can be reduced or even lost completely.
In order to avoid the risk of eye damage, you should wear protective goggles.
5th Safety harness
Belts, harnesses, adjustable harnesses, carabiners and ropes should be used to protect against the risk of falls.
Whenever workers perform tasks at heights of more than two meters, they will have to use the PPE mentioned, usually in addition to each other.
NorSafe specializes in the sale of personal protective equipment, with a strong emphasis on the construction industry.
