Hard hats save lives on the job and they are perhaps the one most obvious piece of safety-wear that is most visible. A hard hat is a rigid shell that deflects blows to the head and it's the suspension system inside the hat the acts as the shock absorber. Your face, neck and shoulders are readily protected against splashes and spills as well. There are other types of hard hats that can be modified to add face shields, goggles, hoods and hearing protection. These applications will depend on what you're involved in or what the employer considers safe.

Head protection is important because it protects the obvious areas: the eyes, ears, nose; and most importantly the brain. A single injury can handicap an individual for life, or it can of course be fatal. Most head injuries on the job could have been avoided if he proper head protection had been worn. And, many injuries occur because employers don't require their employees to wear head protection. However, employees that do wear head protection are well aware of the benefits of being safe. When it comes to your safety-there is nothing else more important in the world.

Injuries can occur when least expected and more than one half of all head injuries occur when an employee is looking in another direction. An NFL Hard Hat is a great incentive for employees to wear head protection in style. It's amazing, if you provide the right type of incentive, an employee will jump on the bandwagon with very little persuasion. Besides, rooting for your favorite team and being safe at the same time makes perfect sense. If you're an employer, requiring your employees to wear an NFL Hard Hat will catch on like wildfire! Why risk injury, when you can work in safety and strut your stuff at the same time? The NFL Hard Hat from ABC Safety Glasses is the right choice.

Safety is an extremely important factor during the welding process and there are key
safety rules, which observed, can keep you out of harms way. Always make sure to keep your head out of the fumes. Use enough ventilation or exhaust to remove gasses and fumes from the work area. Never get too close to the arc and make it a point to read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets. Most importantly, always make sure the right welding hoods are used for a specific welding application.

Some of the obvious hazards associated with welding are fumes and ultraviolet radiation. The
damage can be horrendous when safety rules are overlooked. Welders experience eye damage, cuts, lacerated and burned toes and fingers and electrical shock. If you're anywhere near welding operations, always keep safety first in mind. Realize, that the person welding is not always the one that's injured. If you're walking by a welding operation without the proper safety equipment, burning metal and debris can cause a sudden and unexpected injury. So, no matter how light the welding job is, always make sure that you have the right welding hoods for a particular application.

Welding helmets and welding hoods are often an interchangeable word to describe the safety equipment used when welding. Many of the makes and modes on the market today will combine digital and analog technology to make your welding jobs as safe as possible. Built in applications make welding helmets sensitive enough to respond to the slightest change in arc welding light. And this is good news for the welder-the better the technology, the greater the chances of escaping eye injury over a long period of time. ** Welding Helmets

It has the same effect of looking directly into the glaring sun at high noon. And retina and iris damage is impossible to repair.

At any give time, there are more than 500,000 workers at risk of are welding injury in a wide variety of industries. Fatal injuries account for more than four deaths per thousand workers. Not only is there a risk to the eye, but also skin exposed to UV radiation can result in severe burns and usually without prior warning. Infrared radiation can harm the tissue beneath the skin without the welder immediately being aware. Wearing proper clothing and a welding helmet can practically eliminate the risks.

Exposure to infrared radiation can cause papillary reflex and eye shading-and in some cases, outright blindness. You have to make a living, but there is no reason not to make it a safe one. Make safety priority-one. Choose the right welding helmet for the task.

Protective clothing is essential if you're planning on getting the job done right and the products you'll find at ABC Safety Glasses give you a myriad of selections to choose from. Many of the fine protection options include Aprons & Sleeves, Disposable Coveralls, Hoods & Hairnets, Lab Coats and Smocks, Rain Wear, Safety Vests, Winter Liners, and Shoe and Boot Covers. ** Protective Clothing

Protective clothing and safety can be viewed as synonymous when spoken in the same breath and when working with such chemicals that include even pesticides, it's wise not to eat, drink, or smoke in close proximity to a chemical. Protective clothing items have every safety precaution in mind-and are designed with overall body protection firmly in mind.

The reasons for wearing the proper protective clothing should be obvious to everyone. Accidents change lives, and the cost and ramifications are measured far beyond monetary considerations. Good health is one thing that cannot be replaced and once it's been compromised-everyone suffers. Countless lives have been spared because of adherence to proper health and safety guidelines.

Along with proper protective clothing, good safety habits should take into consideration the following rules whether on the job-or engaged in a personal project. Never engage in task that you believe to be unsafe. If you have any questions, make sure you talk to the proper authorities before starting or finishing. You should always report any injuries immediately to a supervisor or person in charge to avoid further injury. Being hesitant might also hamper filing a worker's compensation claim down the line in the event you are actually injured on the job.

Horseplay on the job should be the furthest thing from your mind. Falling is one of the most common accidents on the job and is usually the result of carelessness. Wear required protective clothing at all times and keep your work area clean. This should be a reflex requiring no oversight from anyone. It's just common sense to make an area safe to avoid tripping and falling accidents.

If you're asked or required to work with hazardous materials, never step into an area without the proper protective clothing on. Make sure you know about the chemicals you'll be working with. If the materials are flammable, approach any areas that have solvents, oil, gas, paint thinner, paper, or cloth with extreme caution. It's especially important to know what to do in case of an emergency as well. Hopefully your company or work place environment will have periodic safety drills. These are the times to pay attention-someone's life could be at stake one day.

If you see caution signs in the workplace, make a point of observing them. They were put there for a special reason. Remember, on the job safety comes in two parts: the protective clothing you wear and the proper observance of safety rules.

Safety glasses are one of the most overlooked parts of on the job safety. Many people mistakenly assume that eyeglasses or sunglasses that they are wearing will suffice adequately for eye safety and in most cases they find out the hard way, through an injury to the eye how wrong that assumption was. Your vision is valuable and can be lost in a split second due to an on the job eye injury. Safety experts agree that eye safety is a priority on the job and not enough people take it seriously. In the average person's working environment, there are numerous accidents just waiting to happen. Here is a listing of the three biggest reasons that safety glasses are needed to avoid on the job eye injuries:

Chemical Burns

A chemical burn can be devastating. Not all chemicals can be flushed with water and some chemicals can actually do more damage to the eye such as certain industrial gels, when they are being flushed with water and allowed to spread over the surface of the eyeball. Safety glasses that seal around the sides and over the nose can eliminate your worries about having your eyes burned. It's far easier to wipe off your lenses on your safety glasses than make an emergency trip to the hospital and possibly lose your sight in one or both of your eyes.

Foreign Objects

Anyone that works construction can probably tell you about someone that didn't wear safety glasses that either got a splinter or even a nail from a nail gun in their eye. When you have numerous people working on a job site as quickly as they can, mistakes can happen. If you're working where there is even a remote possibility of a foreign object landing in your eye, protect your vision with a pair of good fitting safety glasses.

Hazardous Substances

If you work in a job that requires the handling of hazardous or poisonous substances, eye protection again is a must. Many chemicals can be absorbed into your body through the tissues in your eyes. To avoid this, wear your safety glasses whenever you work with hazardous substances and you can avoid this occurrence.

Your eyesight is valuable, protect it. Safety glasses aren't the boring, clear plastic overlays that had a "one size fits all" attitude. The safety glasses of today in many cases resemble designer sunglasses and not only fit great and protect your eyes, they let you look great while you're being safe on the job. Don't be a statistic, get a great looking pair of safety glasses and use them every time you're on the job. ** Safety Glasses


There have been many instances on the job where an employee has gone out on the job site "just for a minute" and been hit by a falling object and received a head injury. A small object can gain enough velocity when dropped from a height that it can actually cause a blow to the head that can be fatal. Wearing a hard hat can help alleviate this concern.

Also, understand that all hard hats are not created equally. Get a safety rated hard hat. You need more than just a hard piece of plastic on your head. A lot of engineering goes into a professional quality hard hat. It means that the hard hat will absorb most of the blow instead your head. When your head receives a blow, the real injury occurs to your brain. Inside your head your brain will be knocked from one side of your skull to the other and this can cause dangerous swelling resulting in brain damage and even death. Using a hard hat that is designed to take the shock of an impact rather than letting your head absorb it will go a long way towards keeping your noggin safe.

If you purchase hard hats for your work crew and they seem less than enthusiastic about wearing their hard hats, you can make the hat itself more enticing by getting hard hats that have their favorite sports team's logos. If your crew complains that their hard hats are too hot in the wear in the summer, don't let them use that as an excuse to be unsafe. There are cooling pads that can go across the forehead of your worker or in the hat itself and will generate coolness inside the hat for hours. ** MLB Hard Hats

Extreme cold can be another reason that employees negate wearing their hard hats. You can also offer head liners that cover the head and neck or liners that cover the entire face and head except for the eyes. The hard hat fits over the top of the liner and will stay snugly fitting on top of the worker's head. ** Winter Liners

Make sure that you always wear a hard hat whenever you're in a situation that anything has the potential cause a head injury through impact. If you have employees that work in these conditions, if you don't already have a written safety policy, create one and make sure everyone is aware of your policy and signs off that they understand they need to wear all safety equipment at all times and notify you if they are lacking in equipment or need new safety equipment. That way you can have the peace of mine that you're running the safest work site possible.
