Welcome to the 2016 Tomorrow’s Health & Safety Personal Protection Equipment Supplement.
It’s a fact of business that some industries are more dangerous than others. The associated risks with working in sectors like construction, oil and gas can’t always be avoided or controlled. In light of this, it falls on employers to ensure that all workers are protected from potential hazards.
From hands and feet to eyes and ears, staff should be protected from top to toe. Businesses can mitigate physical threats to safety, and comply with regulations, by providing staff with useful, effective and easy-to-use personal protective equipment (PPE) – as well as full training on how to use it.
ERIKS is one company that is keen to ensure that their employees receive the best in Personal Protection Equipment. They tell us more about their new vending machine product which turns traditional PPE deployment methods on their heads to ensure controls and safe systems of work are in place.
We also have features on the latest in safety footwear, the importance of equipment being tailor-made to the wearer and a piece exploring the new PPE regulations and what they entail.
Enjoy the issue and stay safe.
