Safety Equipments

Ratchet Type (refers to adjustment mechanism)
Types of Adjustment Mechanisms:

Pin-lock type: Adjusted manually by inserting a pin into holes on a strap—less precise and slower to adjust.

Ratchet type: Uses a knob at the back that you twist to tighten or loosen the fit—faster, more precise, and easier to adjust while wearing gloves.

Standard Types (based on ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014)
Types:

Type I: Designed to protect only against impacts to the top of the head (common in the U.S.).

Type II: Provides protection against top and lateral (side) impacts (more common in Europe and high-risk environments).

Protect eyes from intense light, sparks, and heat during welding.

Combine glasses with a full-face shield for added protection against flying debris, chemical splashes, or biological hazards.

Safety Glasses
Designed to be worn over regular prescription glasses without compromising protection or comfort.

Standard protective eyewear without vision correction, used in general work environments to shield against dust, debris, and impact.

Provide a tight seal around the eyes, offering protection from chemical splashes, dust, and airborne particles.

Reinforced with a steel cap at the toe to protect against heavy impacts and compression.

Made from non-metal materials like Kevlar, carbon fiber, or plastic. Lighter than steel toe and non-conductive to electricity.

Provide extra protection over the upper foot area (metatarsals), useful in industries with a risk of heavy objects falling on feet.

Insulated to protect against electrical shocks, ideal for electricians and utility workers.

Designed with special tread patterns to prevent slipping on wet or oily surfaces.

Have a steel or composite plate in the sole to protect feet from sharp objects on the ground.

Keep feet dry in wet environments while still offering protection against workplace hazards.

Small inserts worn in the ear canal to block noise. Made of foam, silicone, or rubber; disposable or reusable.

Cover the entire outer ear with cushioned cups connected by a headband. Effective for reducing high noise levels.

Earplugs connected by a flexible band, worn under the chin or behind the neck for easy use and removal.

Also known as filtering facepiece respirators, they protect against dust, airborne particles, and some pathogens. N95s are the most common.

Cover the entire face (eyes, nose, and mouth) and offer a higher level of protection, especially in toxic environments.

Provides clean air from a tank worn on the back. Used in environments with low oxygen or highly toxic atmospheres, like firefighting or confined spaces.

Deliver air through a hose from a remote source. Ideal for long-duration use in hazardous atmospheres.

Horizontal Lifeline: Allows lateral movement.

Body Belts and Harnesses: Used with fixed-length lanyards to prevent reaching a fall hazard.

Fixed-Length Lanyards or Tethers: Restrict movement to safe zones.

Rescue Kits: For retrieving a fallen worker.

Tripods and Winches: Often used in confined spaces for vertical rescue.
