IESA renews its employees’ PPE
PPE, what is it ?
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) are devices, garments or accessories designed to protect the health and safety of workers or individuals in various environments where potential health or safety risks are present. PPE is essential for reducing occupational risks and ensuring the safety of workers in many industries. They can be of different types with different levels of certification and are the responsibility of the employer.
Why it's important to equip your employees
In the world of industry, workers are exposed to all kinds of risks, such as mechanical injuries, exposure to dangerous products or excessive noise. So it’s essential to provide protection that’s tailored to the risks encountered in the workplace.
It is also essential to maintain and inspect PPE regularly to ensure that it is working properly, and to replace it when it becomes obsolete or damaged.
New PPE from IESA
It is against this backdrop that IESA has renewed the personal protective equipment of its employees, in line with the risks they may encounter in their work on construction sites. Softshell jackets that meet EN 17353 Type B3 standards, trousers that meet EN 17353 Type B2 standards and standards… and safe !
We’ve also chosen to personalise them in the colours of ESA’s new graphic charter. As a result, our employees will be instantly identifiable on construction sites and our brand image will be enhanced.
According to the feedback we’ve had from employees who’ve tried them on, we’ve made the right choices! PPE appeals for its aesthetics and comfort.
We were well supported in our choice of PPE by ANG Access in St Genis Laval, and we’d like to thank them for the quality of the products they selected.
To sum up
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential for protecting the health and safety of workers in environments where occupational hazards are present. They must be used correctly, maintained and comply with safety standards to ensure their effectiveness. However, prevention remains the best approach to ensuring safety in the workplace.
