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?<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The five pieces of personal protective equipment listed below are essential for safety on construction sites:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1st Safety footwear:<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n When working with electricity, it is crucial to choose dielectric footwear that reduces the risk of accidents from contact with electrically conductive materials.<\/p>\n 2nd Safety helmet<\/strong><\/p>\n 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!<\/p>\n 3rd Hearing protectors<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 4th Goggles<\/strong><\/p>\n The eyes can be damaged very easily and, as a result, the ability to see can be reduced or even lost completely.<\/p>\n In order to avoid the risk of eye damage, you should wear protective goggles.<\/p>\n 5th Safety harness<\/strong><\/p>\n Belts, harnesses, adjustable harnesses, carabiners and ropes should be used to protect against the risk of falls.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n NorSafe specializes in the sale of personal protective equipment, with a strong emphasis on the construction industry.<\/p>\n We look forward to seeing you at www.norsafe.pt<\/a> or by emailing mailto:store@norsafe.pt<\/a>.<\/p>\n We are happy to answer any questions you may have.<\/p>\n Your satisfaction is our goal!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you work in the construction industry on a daily basis?
