When we talk about safety at work, we cannot overlook personal protective equipment. Not only do they protect against
possible risks to the health and safety of workers, but they can also save lives.
We can find different types of PPE that protect from head to toe included, but we must take into account many factors
when choosing the right one, such as compliance with regulations, comfort, potential risks of the work environment
and obviously its functionality.
Next, we want to show the personal protective equipment that cannot be missing in any type of industry or work to
achieve a much safer environment, but first of all, we would like to explain what exactly PPE is.
What is personal protective equipment?
Personal protective equipment are elements and accessories worn by workers, which aim to interpose a barrier between
the occupational hazard and the worker.
It is a legal prevention equipment that does not eliminate the risks as such, but its purpose is to minimize the
consequences. They guarantee the safety of workers in their different activities and must be prepared to allow the
simultaneous use of several PPEs at the same time.
Article 17 of Law 31/1995 on the prevention of occupational hazards states that, when a risk cannot be avoided or
sufficiently limited, the employer is responsible for protecting his workers and is obliged to provide workers with
such equipment.
What is personal protective equipment?
There are different types of personal protective equipment for work. In order to guarantee the maximum required
safety, we must analyze in detail the characteristics of each product and the work environment where the tasks are
to be carried out, so that we can choose the most suitable product for our needs at all times.
Below are some examples of personal protective equipment such as helmets, earplugs, goggles or masks, which, apart
from being manufactured with top quality materials and complying with all current safety regulations, provide
maximum comfort and protection.
Eye protection: Eye protection glasses
The eyes are the most complex and fragile organ of our body, so it is vitally important to have the right eye
protection equipment for each job. Not only because they are the part of the head that accumulates most injuries,
but also because many of them can become irreversible.
For this reason, using appropriate eye protection glasses will help us to prevent a multitude of injuries and risks
to our health. Among all our eye protection solutions we would like to highlight:
Uvex Carbonvision goggles are not only scratch resistant, but also have anti-fogging properties. They are the
lightest on the market with a weight of only 45 grams, allowing you to work comfortably for long periods of
time without discomfort or pressure points on the head. They allow a panoramic vision without tunnel effect
thanks to the adjustment of the lens very close to the eye.

Hearing protection at work: Earplugs and helmets for hearing protection
Hearing protection at work becomes mandatory when working in extremely noisy jobs. When working with hearing
protection helmets and earplugs, we must take into account factors such as comfort, the type of protector we need,
but above all, that they do not completely insulate from sound. This is because they can cause communication
problems in addition to not perceiving general warning signals such as alarms or traffic.
For this, Uvex has different ear protection equipment that meet these 3 factors, among them we can highlight:
The Uvex K200 ear protection helmet allows 360º rotation for optimal positioning. Its ear pads are made of
very comfortable foam to be able to work for long periods of time. They are ideal for noisy work because
their attenuation is 28 decibels.

Uvex X-fit earplugs provide a high degree of comfort thanks to their soft foam and reduced contact pressure
with the ear canal. They are suitable for extremely noisy environments due to their high sound insulation
capacity of up to 37 decibels. As a remarkable feature, they are detectable both visually thanks to their
striking blue color and by metal detection machines, which makes them ideal for industries where production
processes are carried out.

Respiratory protection equipment: Filters, masks and full face masks
Respiratory protection equipment is essential to avoid inhaling vapors, toxic substances, smoke and dust in working
environments. Depending on the type of work we will have to have one type of mask or another, for example, if the
materials are really toxic, a full face mask will be the solution, thus, we will protect the nose and mouth from
harmful contamination.
The Dräger X-plore 1900 dust mask is self-filtering and provides high protection against dust and fine
particles. It is available with or without a valve and provides high visibility even for spectacle wearers.
It offers great comfort due to its stable shape and allows breathing with little resistance thanks to its
great flexibility and perfect fit.

Head protection: crash and impact helmets
Wearing crash and impact helmets is one of the safest head protection items to avoid injuries that in many cases can
be fatal.

suits your work, such as the Pheos E-WR industrial helmet.

Disposable protective suit
Chemical substances can irritate the skin due to direct contact or even penetrate the skin. Therefore, disposable
protective suits are suitable for any hazardous situation whether in liquid, solid or gaseous form.
Working with hazardous materials requires body protection suits to be fully protected from head to toe, and may
include other PPE to maximize safety.
The Dräger SPC 4400 splash suit is a yellow chemical protective suit that is lightweight and comfortable to
wear. It offers reliable protection against the finest particles and dusts, multiple concentrated inorganic
acids and alkaline substances, as well as being resistant to a wide variety of organic liquid chemicals. The
coverall is designed for simple work and for use with disposable dust masks, half masks or full face masks,
compressed air breathing apparatus or compressed air supply equipment.
