A huge percentage of the American workforce is made up of people who work either outside or with harmful materials every single day. These individuals are exposed to a number and environmental or occupational hazards and measures must be taken to protect them from illness or injury. The first defense against the dangers of outdoor or hazardous work is safety apparel. Here is a guide to custom safety apparel available at Promotions Now.
The simplest way to protect outdoor workers from harm from vehicles, machinery or other workers is to make them as visible as possible. Safety jackets and vests are made with ANSI approved reflective materials and high visibility colors to ensure maximum visibility in daylight, at nighttime or in any type of weather conditions. Additionally, insulated or heavyweight jackets help protect outdoor workers from extremely cold temperatures while maintaining the same level of visibility.
Safety tees deliver the same level of visibility protection as jackets and vests but are preferred for milder climates and temperatures. We carry a number of short and long-sleeve safety tees available in both high visibility yellow and orange. Each safety tee meets or exceeds ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 or Class 3 safety standards.
High visibility, heat resistance, wrist or palm protection and Thinsulate® insulation are all important features you can find in our line of safety and protective work gloves. Depending on the line of work safety gloves are required for and the subsequent material they’re constructed from, they are able to protect hands and skin from absorption of harmful substances, thermal or chemical burns, electrical shock, punctures, fractures, bruises or cuts.
A proper hard hat or safety cap can go a long way to protect an individual from a devastating injury caused by impact with a blunt object, low hanging or falling tree limbs, electrical wires, heavy machinery and oncoming vehicles. Safety caps further increase visibility while hard hats protect the head from impact, penetration, electrical shock or burns. These are very serious hazards and that’s why every piece or protective headgear at Promotions Now is approved and coded for specific use in the workplace. We also carry sound protection ear muffs to prevent ear injury or hearing loss.
Protective eyewear is not actually considered apparel, but for the sake of explaining our full line of safety gear, we’re including it here. When working outside or with hazardous materials the risks to eyes and eyesight are substantial. Even a small amount of dust can obstruct eyesight, cause a distraction and put a laborer in danger from the conditions around him or her. You can find a virtually endless supply of protective glasses and goggles specifically designed to prevent and reduce the risks of eye injury.
