Eyes, for vision Ears, for hearing Nose, for smelling Mouth, for eating and talking Brain, for thinking
a type of helmet predominantly used in workplace environments such as industrial or construction sites to protect the head from injury due to falling objects, impact with other objects, debris, rain, and electric shock
Hard Hat
Are intended to reduce the force of impact of falling objects and to reduce the danger of contact with exposed low-voltage conductors. They are proof tested by the manufacturer at 2200 V phase-to-ground.
Class G Hard Hats
Are intended to reduce the force of impact of falling objects and to reduce the danger of contact with exposed high-voltage conductors. They are proof tested by the manufacturer at 20,000 V phase-to-ground.
Class E Hard Hats
Are intended to reduce the force of impact of falling objects. They offer no electrical protection.
Class C Hard Hats
suspension system inside acts as a
shock absorber
Some hats serve as an ___ against electric shocks
insulator
Electrically insulating class _ or _ hard hats should be worn by workers any time there is a possibility they will be exposed to __, __, __, __, or __.
G, E
shock, arc, blast, mechanical blows, or injuries
- Provide eye protection for general working conditions where there may be dust, chips or flying particles. Additional side protection can be provided by the use of side shields and wraparound-style safety glasses
Safety Glasses
- Are intended to shield the wearer’s eyes from impact hazards such as flying fragments, objects, large chips, and particles. Goggles fit the face immediately surrounding the eyes and form a protective seal around the eyes.
Safety Goggles
- Are intended to protect the entire face or portions of it from impact hazards such as flying fragments, objects, large chips, and particles. When worn alone, face shields do not protect employees from impact hazards. Use face shields in combination with safety spectacles or goggles, even in the absence of dust or potential splashes, for additional protection beyond that offered by spectacles or goggles alone.
Face Shields
- Should be worn by workers any time they are exposed to the possibility of electric arc and blast.
Eye and Face Protection
