Protective Equipment (PPE) – Important at Home, Too
At home, no one
is advising us. We have to educate ourselves on this. There are certain
fundamental things you can (and probably should) do to assure your safety on
the home. What seems like an unnecessary expense could be the
difference between going to dinner at the end of a chore day or going to the
emergency room. So here are a few ideas that I hope you will consider.
- There are a
number of types of gloves available for you to choose. Leather gloves for
heavy lifting and rough materials. Cotton gloves with textured palms and
fingers. Knit gloves with a waterproof coating that are good for
gardening. Vinyl, latex, or synthetic gloves that are impervious to most
chemicals, good for handling paints or even picking up after your puppy!
- Eye
protection may be advertised as fashionable, but few would agree.
Nevertheless, whether you need goggle type for use around your table saw,
or wraparounds when using power equipment in your yard, you can find a
pair that meet your needs and can even fit over prescription eye
wear. And don’t kid yourself that your regular glasses are “good enough”.
- As far as
ear protection goes, I prefer the small foam type that you compress and
then insert in your ear canal. But there are many other types that you can
find that include those tied with string and some at the end of a plastic
arc that fit behind your neck.
Every task that
you do is worth looking at for safety purposes. Can it be done more safely? Is
the only thing that is keeping your from that next step the fact that you
haven’t bought what you need? Then you should prioritze getting those items,
use them, and take steps to keep yourself safe.
