At a minimum, workers should wear all of the listed personal protective equipment.

  • Hardhat
  • Safety Glasses
  • Safety Gloves
  • Long Pants
  • Thick Shirt
  • Sweat Bandana
  • Hard toe boots or steel toe boots

Work Site Ventilation

  • Read the MSDS on all materials and the warning labels
  • Facemasks and respirators will protect you from airborne particulate materials
  • Insulation, varnish, and fiberglass often contain chemicals that will irritate your sinuses and lungs. Be sure to use proper ventilation when working with these materials.
  • If you are working inside you can use fans and open doors and windows to increase air circulation

Practice electrical safety. The electrical hazards of a building site can cause electrocution and fires, so make sure there are enough power sources to keep circuits from overloading. Use the shortest extension cords possible, and unless your power tools are double-insulated, all power tools should be properly grounded. All workers should wear rubber-soled shoes when working with electrical appliances, and all appliances and tools should be unplugged before working on or around them.

Be careful with power tools and machinery. There is a great deal of dangerous equipment on a building site, so make sure all tools and machines are in proper working order before using them. They should be regularly maintained and inspected to ensure safety. In addition, make sure no worker operates tools or machinery that he or she has not been properly trained to operate.

Work Site Common Sense

  • Post safety signs in all appropriate areas
  • Be extremely careful walking around an area when heavy equipment is being operated
  • Put up protective barriers in the proper areas
  • Make sure workers follow all the safety rules

Maintaining a safe work site will reduce the risk of workers being injured and will reduce your liabilities and risk. Being prepared is the key!

  • Use a welding lense shade that keeps the weld puddle clearly visible.
  • Use a lense that will darken in less than 1ms.
  • Variable lense shades will allow you to lighten the lense for better visibility.
  • Choose a welding helmet that is lightweight. This will reduce the straing on your head, back, neck, and shoulders.
  • A sensor bar will prevent the lense from darkening when someone is welding near you.
  • Fully adjustable welding helmets offer the most comfort.
  • Battery operated helmets typically turn off after 15-20 minutes of non-use.
  • Nearly all screens block 100% UV and IR light.
  • Make sure the helmet meets ANSI Z87.1 standards.

]]> http://www.hardhatauctions.com/?feed=rss2&p=4 Bump Cap vs. Hard Hat http://www.hardhatauctions.com/?p=3 http://www.hardhatauctions.com/?p=3#comments Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:31:26 +0000 admin http://www.hardhatauctions.com/?p=3 Using a Bump Cap for Head Protection

Bump caps are the perfect head protection choice for work areas where hard hats are not required but head injuries from low ceilings or protruding objects could occur.

Bump Cap advantages vs. Hard Hat

  • Lightweight - less stress on your head, neck, and back
  • Stylish - bump caps are available for your favorite NFL or Baseball team
  • Ventilation - allows for greater air-flow than hard hats
  • Size - One size fits all with adjustable inserts

Bump Cap Use

Bump caps are great for these work environments

  • Meat Packing Plants
  • Warehouses with forklifts and/or overhead stocking
  • Food Processing Plants
  • Beverage Plants

Please note that most bump caps do not meet ANSI or OSHA standards for head protection.
