Risks of working in carbon monoxide filled environments
What is Carbon Monoxide? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic, colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that can kill you. That is why it is sometimes called “the silent killer”. CO has no identifiable odor but is often mixed with other odorous gases. Therefore, carbon monoxide can be breathed or inhaled with a gas that has a […]
Safety Goggles vs Safety Glasses
According to the Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC), almost 2,000 US workers suffer an eye injury at the job every day. These numbers represent the injuries which need medical attention. More than 100 of these injuries result in one or more days of lost workdays, and around one-third of these injuries are critical and require treatment in […]
Bump Caps vs Hard Hats
In this post you’ll learn Why is head protection important Difference between Bump Caps and Hard Hats When should a Hard Hat or a Bump Cap be used Thousands of workers encounter head injuries at work yearly, and these injuries can lead to lost working hours and, in severe cases, death. According to most recent […]
OSHA Guidelines to Prevent Heat Illness
In this post you’ll learn As summer months approach, workers exposed to hot environments can be at risk of heat stress. Extreme heat can lead to occupational diseases and injuries. Heat stress can cause heat stroke, heat exhaustion, muscle spasms, or heat rash. Heat can also cause sweat in the palms, cloudiness of goggles, and […]
Benzene Gas Detection In The Oil and Gas Industries
Overview: Benzene is an organic chemical compound composed of six carbon atoms bonding with six hydrogen atoms in a circular pattern. It’s usually colorless but can also display a light-yellow color. Benzene has a sweet smell, and it is highly flammable. It is commonly used as an intermediary in plastic, nylon, and resin production. Additionally, […]
Emergency Shower Equipment
Despite all safety precautions, workplace accidents might be inevitable. A quick and accurate response to accidents is crucial to prevent permanent consequences. Occupations that are exposed to hazardous chemicals are particularly at risk since unwanted connections with harmful substances might occur, even with proper eye and skin protection. In workplaces where dangerous materials are utilized, […]
Hearing Hazards
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 22 million workers are exposed to potentially harmful levels of noise each year. Lack of preventative measures or long exposure times may lead to potentially irreversible ear damage, causing temporary or permanent hearing loss. Even though being one of the most encountered workplace threats, hearing […]
