When you work in an industrial workplace like factories, warehouses, oil and gas companies or construction, your profession can become dangerous if employees don’t have the right industrial safety supply at their disposal. Every field is different but this list should cover most of the safety needs of the industrial field.

1. Gas Detection Devices

No matter what industry you work in, a gas leak in the home or office is a serious problem. However, one might not notice a gas leak if you were working outside or happen to work in that field. But gas leaks are dangerous for a number of reasons. Carbon monoxide exposure over a long period of time can make one lose consciousness and can be fatal if exposure lasts too long. In addition, a gas leak means that flammable gas is in the surrounding areas, even a small spark, can cause fires or an explosion. Construction companies as well as oil and gas companies could definitely benefit from having gas detection devices in their tool boxes. Small enough to fit into a back pockets, these devices can help save lives and property when employed.

2. Respirators

If the kind of work your company performs brings you to areas that have questionable air safety, investing in respirators for employees is a recommended suggestion. There are different kinds of respiratory devices to be used for an industrial safety supply. Different kinds of respirators include: disposable paper or cardboard masks, air purification masks, supplied air, and PAPR (powered air purifying respirators) so you have plenty of selection in order to procure the right system for your employees. If your employees work in high-traffic areas where they have to breathe in car exhaust, in areas with high dust or irritants in the air or if they have to venture into areas with low amounts of oxygen like underwater, underground or at high elevations consider respirators.

3. Cable and Hose Protectors

When working in industrial settings, there are a lot of variables to keep track of like vehicles, employees, tools, equipment and materials. Cable and hose protectors are created to help protect the features of your equipment or building that are crucial. Cables connect electrical items like tools and other industrial safety features. Hoses are used to move liquids, air and other materials safely to other locations. If these cable and hoses are left exposed to the elements, industrial vehicles or commuter traffic, you could be losing time finishing your project, money on your materials not to mention putting your employees at risk for injury.

4. Safety Uniforms

No matter what the field, if you are working in dangerous areas with traffic, debris or industrial vehicles, all employees should be wearing highly visual safety uniforms like neon vests, hard hats, gloves, close-toed rubber soled shoes, earplugs and eyes glasses. Too often we pass by construction sites and see employees without some of these tools and they are putting themselves at risk of injury or worse.

5. LifeLine Harnesses

Employees that have to work in the heights are always in danger if the right safety tools are being used. Construction employees in particular are most commonly working on top of homes, buildings and other structures contributing to the statistic that falls are one of the main reasons why construction workers are injured. Strong safety harnesses that are well maintained can help alleviate this problem. They are available in both horizontal and vertical so no matter where the job takes your employees, they can stay protected.

1. Your Work Takes You Into Traffic

Loose wiring can become a serious problem when left to fend for itself in the midst of traffic. Do not try to use piles of plywood or boards to cover your wiring for traffic, this can lead to not only damage to your cables but can harm commuter’s vehicles.

2. You Have Limited Equipment
Maybe you're a small company with only a few employees. Maybe you are just starting out. Either way, if you have a small company than your supplies are limited and your budgets are tight. That is why you cannot afford to be replacing and repairing damaged equipment constantly. The best way to avoid this scenario is to make sure that your tools and equipment are properly protected. You want to get reliable cable protection that will last.

3. You Work around Industrial Vehicles
Whether you operate a factory or manage a construction company, it is crucial to protect the jobsite if there are industrial vehicles present.

Brahman System’s cable protectors are tested up to 65 tons of pressure so they can handle any task you throw at them. Trust us, not all cable protection products can do that which is Brahman Systems’ design is a patented, there is none other like it.

4. You Work in an Area with a Lot of Foot-Traffic
Humans are hardly perfect and they are often the source of malfunction. If you have a job that takes you to large stadiums, festivals, arenas, film sets and other large gatherings of people, you want to make sure that cables are covered and protected. Foot traffic can be a two-way problem if you aren’t being careful. People continuously walking over and jostling cables can cause equipment malfunction and damage. In addition, someone could trip, fall or injure themselves because of loose wiring. So avoid the trouble and make sure that your cable systems have the right protection for the job.

5. You Want to Increase Equipment Longevity
The best way to make sure that your tools, equipment and wiring remain strong and useful is to have the right cable protection systems in place. If you are using the same equipment for many years on different job sites, cables can become frayed and loosened. By implementing a policy for cable protectors on every site, you are ensuring the longevity of your tools. Wiring is an essential part of many different job sites and different equipment and you want to cut costs and save money by using cable protectors.
