The manufacturing industry is the beating heart of any strong economy. To keep that heart beating, it is vital for companies to keep their workers safe. Safe workers are happier, healthier, and more productive. Naturally, manufacturing processes involve a large number of hazards. Health and safety regulations have improved immensely over the last century, but accidents can and do still happen every day. Employees and workers in a engineering and automotive industry encounter a variety of hazards on a daily basis. Primary ones are:
Worker actions of bending, reaching, stretching, pulling, lifting, working in cramped positions and repetitive motions. If a worker bends over an engine bay, he/she may hold a fixed posture for a long period of time. Using excessive force with hand tools can also cause injuries.
During grinding, working under vehicles and cleaning parts, particles emit-ted may affect the eyes and other body parts. Doors, bonnets and oth-er parts, tools and equipment may slip or move while performing work.
Falls are an ever-present danger in the manufacturing industry. Working on high platforms, cherry pickers, ladders, or any other raised area poses a personnel risk. Slips may occur on oily floors and when one works with slippery parts. Also there are chances of tripping over tools and equipment.
Machinery is a key risk factor that is arguably most prevalent in the manufacturing industry. Forklift trucks account for a large number of accidents in the industry. These include a risk to human life, a chance of injury, and the potential to damage goods and materials.
Confined spaces, such as a vat or tank, present a risk of oxygen depletion. Education is vital in ensuring safe practices are employed working in confined spaces, as the symptoms of suffocation can come about suddenly. The worker may be unable to react in time or be impaired by the lack of oxygen.
Noise and vibrations can result in deafening of ears. Workers are also exposed to hazardous
substances and chemicals- petrol, solvents, degreasers, paints and other cleaning products.
Our company produces industrial wear to safeguard the people from such hazardous
conditions. Our cut resistant and pure cotton workwear can withstand the extreme conditions
in the engineering and automotive industry as well as they are produced by keeping in mind the
wearer’s comfort. Our workwears are designed to follow the global safety standards.
