What Are the American National Standards for Safety Gear?
Posted by Taylor Gowland onSafety is a crucial part of any business. It's imperative for anyone who works in industrial, high temperature, or low-visibility conditions. These conditions can be dangerous, even deadly. As such, standards have been put in place for work safety gear and safety clothing. These standards are designed to keep teams who work in those conditions safer. It's important to understand, however, that not all work safety gear is made according to the American National Standards for personal protective equipment (PPE). The standards create a guideline against which safety clothing and gear are measured to determine if they provide at least the required minimum amount of protection. This protection is crucial since the lives and health of team members may rely on safety apparel and PPE providing adequate protection.
