Why is PPE your best investment? Safety isn't optional, but the foundation of every job well done.
Often, when we think about safety in the workplace, we focus on the tool, its power, or its reliability. But there's an equally crucial element, sometimes overlooked: the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
THE PPE They are your first and last line of defense. And we're not just talking about helmets and gloves, but an entire ecosystem of protections designed for each specific operation. When using abrasive wheels, where sparks and fine dust are generated, it is essential to protect your eyes, respiratory tract, and hands.
In the appendix of our CATALOG you can find ours SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS which include instructions for the use of abrasive wheels, in relation to handling, storage, selection and assembly, as well as a list of personal protective equipment such as glasses, gloves, aprons, dust masks and ear defenders.
• Protective glasses or visor. They must be certified and impact-resistant. Splinters or debris can cause permanent eye damage.
• Work gloves. Choosing the right glove is crucial. They must not only protect against cuts and abrasions, but also ensure a secure grip. Gloves made of leather or specific materials offer superior protection.
• Dust mask or respirator. Dust generated by materials such as concrete, metal, or stone can be harmful if inhaled for long periods. A good respirator protects the lungs and prevents occupational diseases.
• Hearing protection. Constant tool noise can damage your hearing over time. Earplugs or earmuffs are an investment in your future health.
