If you have a Head you need a Helmet or else it belongs to another!!

Safety helmets or Hard Hats are designed to protect the head against falling objects and the side of the head, eyes, and neck from any untoward impacts, bumps, scrapes, and electrical exposure, etc.

Covid or No Covid head protection is a must and there to stay for ever as the Industry needs to work to take care of the economy and thus cannot stop its functioning. But at the same time accidents of such nature are common in the Industry some are reported and some are not but the fact is that Head being the most critical part of the body needs protection all the time.

What Data says?

Statistical data regarding occupational accidents show that the most common cause of head injuries are impacts from falling objects and impact against sharp and hard items. The consequences of such an occurrence depend principally on the kinetic energy of the impact and the shape and hardness of the material coming into contact with the head.

Injuries caused by mechanical factors may affect skin on the head, skull, brain and neck segments of the spinal cord. In extreme cases, these injuries may lead to permanent disability or even a person’s death. However, one must remember that the use of helmets does not eliminate dangerous factors but only reduces the gravity of their consequences.

Industrial Safety Helmets with or without Ventilation is an answer to such problems as it not only protects the user it also helps in saving his / her family from trauma and at the same time helps save the industry from Loss time accidents caused by accidents.

YOU NEED FRESH AIR WHETHER AT WORK OR AT HOME

THE FIRST OF ITS KIND UNDERWATER BREATHING APPARATUS

We all know what an SCBA diving apparatus is and in many movies we see the Divers wearing this gear and going underwater in search of Pearls or in case of accidents searching or undertaking rescue work for survivors. Here the Cylinder uses regenerated Oxygen for breathing. These are the Closed-Circuit Self-Contained breathing apparatus (CC-SCBA) devices are described as an apparatus of the type in which the exhaled breath is rebreathed by the wearer after the carbon dioxide has been effectively removed and oxygen concentration restored to suitable levels.

Little do many know that similar Apparatus is worn by Industrial Rescuers and Fire Fighters who instead of water enter Smoke Environments in search of survivors who may have either become unconscious or may have collapsed in case of Fire Breaking out in the Building, Market place, Industry and other places where sudden Fire erupts?

So what is this and how and where it is used?

It’s what is known as an Open-circuit industrial breathing set that is filled with filtered, compressed air, rather than pure oxygen.

A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), also known as open-circuit rescue or firefighter SCBA and sometimes referred to as a compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA) or simply breathing apparatus (BA), which is a device worn to provide breathable air in an atmosphere that is immediately dangerous to life or health. They are typically used in firefighting and industry.

The term self-contained means that the SCBA is not dependent on a remote supply of breathing gas (e.g., through a long hose). It has a full face mask, regulator, air cylinder, cylinder pressure gauge, remote pressure gauge (sometimes with an integrated PASS device), and a harness with adjustable shoulder straps and waist belt which lets it be worn on the back. The air is supplied through the cylinder which usually comes in one of three standard sizes: 4 liters, 6 liters, or 6.8 liters.

Conformity to suitable standards: All BA and associated equipment and rescue gear to suitable internationally recognized quality standards like EN, NFPA, BIS, ISO, etc. What’s important here is to note that Air (A mix of Oxygen and other gases) and not only oxygen is important for staying alive. Oxygen only is administered in Medical Emergencies under Medical Supervision but at the same time, there are certain non-medical situations that may require an External Air support system to either work or Rescue or combat emergencies. SCBA is the answer to such situations and proper use of SCBA needs to be understood so that it supports life. The Industries which use these products are; Fire BrigadesAirportsRailwaysAll IndustriesDefence & Para MilitaryPoliceDisaster Management Authorities etc. The Government needs to be stringent in implementing its recommendations for proper use with the Industry and with Fire departments but it is for the individual and the organization which needs to implement the use of the right product which is properly tested and certified for the right application. The use of Carbon Composite Air storage cylinders makes these equipment Light in weight and comfortable to use by all where required. Pandemics or no Pandemics Fire is here to stay and so is smoke as a result of Fire so SCBA is also here to stay but what is important is the right purchase of the product and proper training to use it in emergent times.

Wellingtons, wellies, rain boots, or the more popularly known gumboots are used in various industrial, commercial, and medical applications. Along with the purpose of protecting the toe and the leg of the wearer, gumboots also provide excellent insulation and resistance to water, oil, acid & alkali chemicals.

Our range of full and half gumboots are seamlessly molded PVC safety shoes, reinforced with heavy-duty cotton lining and anti-skid lug soles. Apart from tolerating harsh environments, these gumboots are also anti-slippery and provide better grip or friction against any kind of greasy surface.

Benefits of wearing gumboots:

• Protection from falling objects
• Prevents slips, falls and fatigue
