When it comes to safety supplies in USA, or the best safety equipment in the world, competitors bite the dust. Linemen and workers need protection from unplanned for emergencies. Or simply unforeseen calamities. We are grateful there are so many ingenious producers and providers of safety gear. The number is just grist to our mill. We will continue being the best in the field.

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment keeps workers safe on the job. Types of industry, job site are two factors that determine nature of equipment. Enumerated are kinds of PPE

1. Head – Hard hats take on electrical hazards and falling debris. Hard hat liners protect from cold weather. These attach within the hard hat with Velcro. Full face tube liners, balaclavas, hand and foot warmers do the job too. High visibility jackets, vests, sweatshirts and hoodies help further down the line.

2. Eyes and face – Welding, cutting, milling, sawing, grinding or working with chemicals and gases can harm the eye and face. Safety glasses shield against flying objects and splash goggles shield against chemical splashes. Face shields are an extension of the same kind of help hinted at above.

3. Hands – gloves have to be chosen. Welding gloves for welding insulated gloves to ward off electrical hazards. Temperature extremes have to be guarded against as well.

There’s no gainsaying that being a lineman is one of the toughest jobs out there. It takes courage and strong will to be a lineman. Their gear has to be in sync with the dangers facing linemen every day.

While on the job, their clothing should assure linemen they are in no immediate danger. Actually, there are safety standards for lineman clothing.

Without linemen we would all be condemned to live in darkness.
