Each activity has its own hazards, which may include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fall risk: Work done on roofs, scaffolding, aerial work platforms,&#8230; requires PPE that protects against falls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Impact risk: When working with heavy machinery or tools, PPE must be used to protect the head and limbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exposure to toxic substances: Industrial maintenance or cleaning tasks involve exposure to hazardous chemicals, so protective clothing and gloves must be used<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extreme weather: For outdoor tasks or work in furnaces or cold storage rooms, suitable thermal clothing must be used<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Work at Height<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the risks inherent in the tasks to be performed, we will need different PPE depending on the type of work at height.

The PPE to consider is therefore:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fall arrest harness<\/strong>: As with any work at height<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety rope<\/strong>: When the job is done as rope access work, it is essential to have both a working rope and a safety rope<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Helmet with chin strap<\/strong>: Protects the head from objects falling from height or impacts against structures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety gloves<\/strong>: Must be durable, since cleaning tools and equipment that could cause cuts or abrasions are handled<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protective eyewear<\/strong>: When cleaning chemicals are used or there is a risk of material fragments falling, this type of PPE must be worn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-slip boots<\/strong>: In addition to protecting the feet, they must have a sole that offers good grip on slippery surfaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should You Consider About the Work Environment?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choice of PPE also depends on external factors such as the weather and the work environment, since each piece of PPE withstands different temperatures and may not work properly in extreme climates.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cold environments<\/strong>: When working in cold climates, whether outdoors or in a cold storage room, it is important to have thermal clothing and insulated gloves to protect against hypothermia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hot environments<\/strong>: When doing outdoor work in high temperatures or working, for example, in foundry furnaces, you should opt for lightweight, breathable, light-colored clothing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Humid or wet environments<\/strong>: In environments where there is a risk of getting wet, such as outdoor work in the rain, it is important to wear waterproof clothing and boots with a non-slip sole to prevent falls on wet surfaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Regulatory Compliance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least, whatever job we have to do and whatever PPE we need to use, it is crucial that it complies with safety standards and regulations: for example, fall arrest safety harnesses follow EN361 and safety helmets for work at height follow EN397.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we have seen, selecting the right PPE depends largely on the type of task, the risks involved, the height at which the work is done, and the environmental conditions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is just a short guide of tips to help you choose the right PPE, but we must not forget that it is essential to carry out a risk assessment before starting any job to help us in the selection process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We bring you a short guide to help you choose your PPE according to the job to be done.
