Benefits of Our Industrial PPE Products

Industrial-PPE

Providing PPE shields, goggles, and other equipment benefits employers and employees alike for these reasons:

  • Safety: Industrial PPE protects workers from injury or illness during exposure to debris or flying materials, sparks, smoke, splashes, impact, light, and heat. Shields and coverings are designed with different shapes, coatings, and materials to protect workers’ eyes, faces, and skin.
  • Long-Term Reduction of Costs: High-quality PPE is an investment that can reduce costs associated with medical bills from workplace accidents or injuries, workers’ compensation claims, production or schedule disruptions, and more.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Most industries are required to comply with local, state, and federal workplace safety rules and regulations, which may include supplying appropriate PPE for personnel. Non-compliance may result in fines and other penalties from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or other authorities.
  • Increased Employee Retention: Employees appreciate having easy access to the right safety equipment for their work, especially when it is also comfortable and sized appropriately to fit well. Providing high-quality PPE shows that employers take risks seriously, care about their employees’ well-being, and want to comply with regulations. All of this adds to employee satisfaction and retention.

Types of Industrial PPE Products We Offer

Our products are designed to be highly functional as well as comfortable and convenient to wear. Some examples are:

  • Toric Face Shields: Traditional face shields are cylindrical and parallel to the wearer’s face. Toric face shields curve along the contours of the wearer’s face, providing improved coverage with less bulk. These popular products include impact-resistant face shield and chemical-resistant face shield options.
  • Heat-Reflective Face Shields: Metalized reflective face shields protect the wearer’s facial area from infrared heat and light, UV light, and extreme radiant heat.
  • Ratchet Headgear: This lightweight, adjustable piece of equipment works with interchangeable shields, allowing the wearer to attach the appropriate chemical or impact-resistant face shield for their work environment. The ratcheting mechanism allows the user to easily raise or lower the face shield as necessary.
  • Protective Knee Shields: Knee pads and shields are worn on the knees to protect against impact injury, falling, and striking knee-level obstacles. They also provide a padded surface for tasks that require extended kneeling.

ANSI Z87.1 Performance Specifications

Our PPE for industrial applications complies with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1 requirements for personal occupational and educational, and personal eye and face protection devices. These guidelines set industry-specific requirements for impact, chemical, and temperature performance that PPE industrial suppliers must follow to include the Z87 marking on products.
