Working in wet weather can cause slippery surfaces and reduces visibility. With winter weather on the way now in Australia, it is time to start thinking about warm and wet garments for the next few months.
When working in the rain, the following safety workwear is recommended:
Emergency eye wash stations and emergency showers are required for workers who could be exposed to corrosive chemicals in the workplace. Workers use eyewashes, face washes and showers to flush chemicals and debris out of their eyes and off their bodies.
Needle stick resistant gloves, also known as anti-syringe or hypodermic needle resistant gloves, offer protection against hypodermic needles and other thin, sharp items such as thin shards of glass and metal wire.
It is important to think about the type of work you will be performing and the weather conditions where you will be working prior to investing in new workwear. Choosing the right weight of the fabric and the right features will ensure you and your team remains comfortable and protected all year round.
