It's a little known fact that companies and employers spend over $900 million annually due to eye injuries-and it's a fact that these eye injuries are largely preventable. The facts reveal the at least 60% of all injuries on the job were due to an employee not wearing proper eye protection. It's amazing when you conclude that the average eye injury costs $4000, while the average pair of safety glasses costs less than $6.

Most of the injuries occur in service, manufacturing, or construction related jobs. Don't get caught up in the usual excuses of people that don't wear safety glasses as required. Some of the concerns are the glasses have a tendency to get foggy, safely glasses makes a person look nerdy, the safety glasses are uncomfortable, they will get in the way of prescription glasses and failure to wear them because management doesn't push the issue or comply themselves. All of these are lame excuses when it comes to the safety of your eyes. DeWalt Safety Glasses can take the pressure off of doing the right thing.

Ear muffs provide the basic and much need protection of blocking out harmful noises and keeping the ear safe from foreign objects and material. The usual construction is a thermoplastic or metal head-band that fits snuggly over the top of the head. The pads on the end cover the ears. Ear
muffs usually come in two basic types: thermal and acoustic. The thermal are the original type worn in winter. Their only purpose is to keep the ears warm. ** Ear Muffs

Acoustic ear muffs are also known as ear defenders. These are ear muffs lined with material that deadens sound. They have the appearance of headphones and can fit quite nicely on a hard hat
or head-band. When you really get in the groove of things, you may find yourself wearing a combination of both headphones and ear defenders.

Why not add music to your everyday routine with the Bilsum AM/FM Radio Ear muffs from ABC Safety Glasses.

Hearing is important and there's no one with healthy hearing to argue that fact. If the ears are damaged in any way, even by cold weather, the results can be irreparable. There is naturally a
degree of hearing loss in most people as they age, but with proper protection and awareness, an individual can have good hearing their entire lives. Most hearing loss is classified as mild, moderate, severe and profound.

Mild hearing loss can normally be treated with hearing aids. If a person with mild hearing impairment is up close, they can usually hear everything you're saying, but it changes as the distance increases. It becomes noticeable when ask you to repeat something over again. Hearing loss also becomes apparent when low noise levels become agitating. Noise agitation is actually experienced with people with hearing challenges as to those who have normal hearing.

If you live spend quite a lot of time in cold environments, it's wise to have several sets of ear muffs-just in case you lose one. Cold can be just as damaging to the inner ear as loud noises. Play it smart and use ear muffs whenever the situation calls for them.

Ear protection is comprehensive and involves anything from wearing the proper ear plugs, earmuffs, or headgear that protects the ears from being injured. Not only does ear protection guard against excessive noise, but ear protection also shields the ear from dust particles. Loud noise can cause ear damage and brain damage as well. And, once you lose your hearing, there is nothing you can do to repair it-even with surgery. Safety is job one and your own safety should be a priority without having to give it a second thought.

Workplace noise can often be misleading. It may not sound loud or bothersome, but if it's continuous, it can cause damage without you knowing it. By the time you're aware of the potential for harm, it's often too late. There are several types of ear protection such as earmuffs, ear plugs, hearing bands and disposable ear plugs. For the more sophisticated type of ear protection, there are filters that can block out a specific sound or noise. Depending on your workstation and company policy, you may also be able to sound proof a workstation area.

Most forms of ear protection are made of soft plastic or foam that fits into the ear smugly and then expands. The goal is to let residual sound in, blocking out the unwanted noise and you can choose from a myriad of brands and types. If you're looking for full protection, earmuffs will usually provide what you need. Technology never stands still and one of the newest types of ear protection available on the market is the electric earplug. These types of ear plugs can be custom fit and serve to filter out loud harmful noises, but let in levels of noise such as conversations.

When looking for the proper ear protection, proper fit should be right at the top of the list. It doesn't do you much good if the loud noises are getting through. In fact, a false sense of ear protection can sometimes be more harmful than if you had none at all. It's important to make sure that if you're wearing ear protection that blocks out loud noises, there is some type of visual warning system in place that can alert you in case of an emergency.

Loss of hearing is a serious challenge and not only for those who directly experience it. It's something that families, friends and colleagues have to deal with as well. That's why it's important to always employ the right type of ear protection where high noise levels are involved. This is good advice even if at a sporting event, where noise levels can be deafening. Play it smart and always practice good safety habits by wearing proper ear protection. ** Hearing Protection

When it comes to protective clothing that people can trust on or off the job site-Tyvek coveralls stands second to none. Tyvek Coveralls are made of a synthetic material that incorporates high-density polyethylene fibers. The name Tyvek is a trademark of the Dupont Company. The material is hard to rip or tear, but easily be cut with scissors or any sharp object. This allows the wearer to exit the coveralls in a hurry if necessary. The special construction allows water vapor to pass though the material. However, liquid water cannot. Tyvek Coveralls are used for a variety of applications. ** Disposable Coveralls

Tyvek Coveralls are one-piece jumpsuits and usually white in color. It's not uncommon to find them in other colors though. They're good for just about any application or job you can think of. If you're a mechanic, they work great over your clothes and protect from oil stains, grease and dirt. They're actually a favorite of painters as well. They allow you to fling the paint creatively without worry of being stained. Tyvek Coveralls protect while allowing the body to breathe and when you have to work in situations where the body heats up, not having the proper protective body clothing can be a challenge. Tyvek Coveralls also work well in light duty hazardous material applications. However, they should never be substituted for a full hazmat suit if the job deals with serious hazardous materials.

Tyvek Coveralls are extremely light in construction and afford plenty of room to move around and navigate the workplace. And free movement can often lessen the chance of workplace accidents. It's also obvious that clothing that fits comfortable aids an employee to be more productive in the long run. With Tyvek Coveralls on the job, you can expect both comfort and great utility. Additionally, they give you a professional look not matter what the task you're engaged in. And, short of pumping up the ego-a professional look can go a long way in the world. Tyvek Coveralls on the job also signal that an important function is being performed.

Tyvek material resembles paper and can be written or printed on. There are no doubt, many situations that might require jotting down an important piece of information-and your coveralls won't let you down in the least. When there is a need to recycle the coveralls, check with those in the know. They can't be recycled in the same manner as paper, but Dupont does have a program for recycling this type of material.

Tyvek Coveralls are the smart overall choice in full body-length protection. Whether at work or play, the brand you can depend on is Tyvek Coveralls.

Lab coats serve a great purpose, however, there are some smart tips that you should be aware of. You should never take your lab coat home to be cleaned and neither should you take it to a laundry service. If your lab coat is contaminated, you may want to dispose of it as waste or take it to a service that specializes in cleaning contaminated items. Employers will usually have a service that handles the cleaning and replacement of lab coats. The lab coats are usually specific to the type of job and area where they'll be used. Your employer will be able to suggest the best types and styles that apply. ** Lab Coats

Any line of work where chemicals or blood may be encountered is the proper environment to wear lab coats. In today's world though, you don't have to settle for the standard white. There are many varieties, styles and color options to choose from. Lab coats usually have three to five buttons and the formal look is usually full length with matching sleeves. The less formal look comes in the half-length coat. There are many lab coats with zippers and snaps that replace the standard button-type lab coats.

The type of lab coats that people choose largely depends on their professions. Physicians prefer the standard white and many other staff members choose colors that identify them as part of the staff. The type of lab coat chosen can also be symbolic of one's expertise. Engineers often use a style and color that depicts a solid look. Professionals within a dentist office often wear colors that are bright with colorful patterns. It just seems to make the patients feel better. These artistic patterns seem to work well around children-especially if they're floral.

In addition to looking great and providing a comfortable fit, lab coats provide protection from being penetrated by material and chemicals in non- hazardous environments. This material includes dirt, dust and light chemical spills. Disposable lab coats are an economic alternative to outright buying smock and coats that have to be cleaned on a periodic basis. Additionally, disposable lab coats are economical.

If you work in a radioactive environment, additional safety precautions should be taken. This means you'll have to check for contamination before leaving the area. Disposable lab coats become a great alternative, as they can be thrown away after each use. It's also important that the type of lab coats you choose to wear have colors and patterns that make spills easy to see. Lab coats not only serve a safety function, but they also help us to immediately identify a profession or ranking within that profession. ABC Safety Glasses has all the popular
styles of lab coats to choose from.

When the knees are hurting, it makes walking, sitting and standing a major challenge. Gel Knee Pads offer an abrasion-resistant alternative with its silica gel insert. For the worker, this is comfort and utility at its best. ** Knee Pads

Many knee injuries occur as the results of direct blows or sudden movements that put a great deal of strain on the knee. Knee injuries don't always occur overnight either. If you experience problems with your feet, the alignment of your knees can be thrown off which leads to eventual damage.

Allegro Knee Support products are designed to off set the effects of lateral knee movement. The Allegro products are made of Neoprene, a comfortable material that provides quality construction and great overall support and the prices are within the comfort range of most wallets and purses.

These knee pads come with a durable blend of cloth and foam-which makes the pads easy to wear in non-abrasive environments. You can even wear these over or under trousers quite comfortably.

Knee pads also have a place in sports. However, not enough modern athletes take advantage of wearing knee protection. Basketball is perhaps the best example. Historically, players in the past used knee pads quite extensively. A lot of injuries were avoided as a result. As time progressed, it became less fashionable and the result is a shorter playing career for many modern athletes. Injuries are going to occur and no matter what the sport or profession, it makes good sense to protect your knees from injury by wearing knee pads if the occasion calls for it. If you work outdoors extensively, you'll find yourself kneeling down on pavement occasionally. Well, even those occasional moments can cause damage to your knees-and the occasional damage can end up being permanent damage.

The cartilage in the knees can be easily damaged and depending on the extent, it might be impossible to undo even with surgery. With the expenses of surgery, even with insurances in place, it would be most prudent to avoid the experience. Whether it be gardening, sports, yard work, laying carpet, scrubbing the kitchen floor, or playing with the baby on the living room floor-play it smart and use knee pads whenever and wherever possible. ABC Safety Glasses offers a wide array of product with your safety in mind. On your next stop, make sure knee pads are at the top of the shopping list.
