Protective Gear: Radically Changing The Workplace

Working in places such as roads, airports, ports

, construction sites, and mines has always been dangerous. The risk of the occurrence of accidents in these places is so high that not everyone wishes to work in these environments. Because of this, advocates of occupational health and safety try to come up with ways on minimizing accident risks in such workplaces.

But why are these workplaces notorious in terms of accidents? Unlike the typical corporate office set-up, roads, airports, ports, construction sites and mines often involve vehicles and heavy equipment, extreme height, harsh weather conditions, and low-visibility conditions. It is not uncommon for any worker among these sites to suffer from accidents, such as being hit by a runaway vehicle or heavy equipment and falling from high places.

With the risk of accidents extremely high in such workplaces, managers, and occupational health and safety experts came up with ways to minimize or even eliminate the occurrence of accidents. This is by coming up with measures that will promote both safety among workers and the safety of the working environment.

One measure that was adopted is the use of ANSI safety vests. These types of vests have proven to be effective in enhancing the visibility of workers who use them. The glowing effect coming from these vests, thanks to the materials that used in designing them, make the wearer more visible to everyone else in the workplace.

ANSI class 3 safety vests have since then become staples among workers in roads, airports, ports, construction sites, and mines. Accidents still occur in these places, but thanks to the extensive use of safety vests, the number of dangerous incidents has been minimized. Vests and other protective clothing and gear have radically changed improved conditions in the workplace.

ANSI safety vests and other protective clothing and gear are just some of the developments that resulted from years of research in the area of occupational health and safety. These things would not have come to fruition if not for the efforts of certain groups and individuals and the desire of employers and employees to enjoy a peaceful, accident-free work environment.
