There are several types of industrial equipment safety, including:
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
This includes items like gloves, face shields, safety shoes, head protection, and face masks. PPE is essential for protecting workers from potentially hazardous work.
Machinery safety
This involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with machinery.
Chemical safety
This involves preventing the release of hazardous materials by properly containing, sealing, and marking them with safety labels.
Transportation safety
This involves implementing traffic management plans, such as designated walkways, speed limits, and clear signage, to reduce the risk of accidents.
Safety glasses
These protect workers' eyes from damage caused by welding, soldering, or power tools.
Earplugs
These protect workers' hearing from the increased noise levels produced by some industrial activities.
Safety helmets
These protect workers' brains from fatal incidents that can occur in industrial work areas.
Industrial hygiene defines five types of hazards: airborne hazards, chemical hazards, biological hazards, ergonomic hazards, and physical hazards
