A List of Common Industrial Safety Equipment

Industrial machinery has greatly changed how we conduct manufacturing, construction, and other such projects, making processes faster, more efficient, and streamlined. Despite these various advantages, industrial equipment can pose major safety risks to workers and other personnel if safety is not upheld. Whether a danger involves excessive heat, sharp objects, or other such hazards, those who operate such machinery must have ample protection for their well-being. In this blog, we will provide a brief list of the most common industrial safety equipment that is used by personnel in such fields.

Safety Glasses

Eyes are sensitive, and they are at risk of damage when there is the presence of dust, debris, and projectiles. Safety glasses are often robust, and they will often encapsulate the eye to a certain degree to avoid any easy path for materials to reach the eye. Generally, safety glasses are worn when operating lathe, welding, and soldering machines.

Safety Gloves

Due to the amount of chemicals, blades, and other hazards present in industrial settings, safety gloves are also extremely beneficial. Safety gloves should always be properly fitted to the worker in question, providing plenty of protection while ensuring that the worker maintains ample dexterity to work with systems and objects. Additionally, there are different types of safety gloves that are each designed for a particular type of protection.

Hearing Guards

Due to the intensive and powerful operations of various industrial machinery, hearing protection is paramount to prevent hearing impairment or loss. Hearing protection may range from simplistic ear plugs to headsets that wrap around the entire ear, and it is important that one chooses the correct type based on the application at hand and the decibels such machinery produces.

Face Shield

While some processes and machines may only necessitate the use of safety goggles and/or a mask to protect one from various debris and materials, other applications may require a face shield. These face shields are very easy to use and can even be combined with other forms of facial protection, and they are often just a shield that can be flipped up and down with ease.

Safety Helmet

While areas such as the face and eyes are very important, arguably, the most crucial part of the human body to protect is the brain. To protect one’s brain, a safety helmet should be used. While other forms of protective equipment typically prevent minor and moderate injuries, safety helmets can easily prevent workplace accidents that may prove fatal.

Safety Shoes

Feet are probably not the very first part that come to mind when discussing bodily protection, yet they can still easily be injured due to heavy machinery, sharp objects, and scalding components. To prevent any such injury from happening, workers should always use safety shoes that are comfortable while still providing ample protection. Additionally, safety shoes are often designed to relieve pain and assist in standing posture, ensuring that workers can stand for multiple hours while in a factory.
