Professional Construction Safety Equipment & PPE
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 'protective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact.'
Construction safety equipment is essential for protecting workers from the various hazards present on construction sites. Power Bolt and Tool offers many of the most commonly used construction safety equipment items.
- Hard hats
are helmets made from durable materials and are designed to protect the head from impact and penetration injuries caused by falling objects, debris, and electrical hazards. - Safety glasses and goggles
protect the eyes from flying debris, dust, chemicals, and other hazardous materials. They are made from impact-resistant materials like polycarbonate. - High-visibility clothing
includes vests, jackets, and shirts made from fluorescent materials with reflective strips. These garments can help prevent accidents by ensuring workers are easily seen. - Steel-toed boots
have reinforced toes made of steel, composite materials, or aluminum, and protect the feet from heavy falling objects, punctures, and compression. - Construction gloves
come in various types, including leather, cut-resistant, and chemical-resistant gloves. They protect hands from cuts, abrasions, punctures, and exposure to hazardous substances. - Ear protection
includes earplugs and earmuffs designed to reduce noise exposure on construction sites. They protect against hearing damage caused by loud machinery, tools, and construction activities.
Respirators and dust masks
filter out harmful dust, fumes, vapors, and other airborne particles. Breathing in hazardous substances can lead to respiratory problems and other health issues. - Fall protection equipment
includes harnesses, lanyards, and anchor points. These systems are used to secure workers when working at heights, preventing falls or minimizing injury if a fall occurs. - Safety harnesses
are worn by workers and connected to an anchor point to prevent falls. They are part of a fall arrest system that includes lanyards and lifelines.
