HEARING PROTECTION

The different DPI used for the hearing have the task to absorb
the sound frequencies (which are different depending on
places and type of work) and are damaging for the hearing
apparatus, but not those which are useful to communicate and

perceive the dangers

HANDS AND ARMS
PROTECTION

For those working processes which have risks of


specific punctures, cuts, burnings, abrasions, and
caustic soda abrasions the workers must wear gloves,
handlebars or other kind of protections.
19
In accordance with different works and specific risks you have
different materials that form the DPI:

Leather against abrasions, cuts and punctures.


Textile dipped into plastic or rubber, resistant to
particular categories of chemical products
Anti thermal materials against burnings

An important requirement of protective glove, besides the


protection efficacy is a good adherence to the hand and an high
comfort level which is appropriate to the type of work and the
using time.

BODY PROTECTION

A general body protection against small slivers projections, abrasions, powder and cold is
ensured by normal clothes if the workers is not exposed to different risk.
Otherwise if the worker’s body is exposed to specific risk then he must wear clothes with
specific protective features:
Protection from noxious atmospheres: anti gases overalls which are hermetically closed, even
with internal pressurization
Heat protection or from incandescent material: fireproof clothes and with an high insulation
power
Protection from not very strong heat: wool and rayon clothes
Protection from high temperatures: textiles with an external surface treated in a way to reflex
22 the
heat as much as possible.
23
The clothes can cover the entire body (even
through caps and socks) or can protect only a
part of the body (aprons)

FEET AND LEGS PROTECTION

For those workings in which there is a specific risk


of burnings, punctures or crashing the workers must
wear specific resistant shoes which are even good for
that particular work.
25
There are
• security shoes easily taken off equipped with an
not perforable sole and protective ferrule used for
workings in which there is a risk of perforation or
crashing (carpenter works, handling of materials)
• equipped with an internal sole which is even
thermal insulator to use in those workings in
which there is a certain presence of very hot
materials.
• equipped with a anti slippery sole for those
workings in which there is a sliding risk.
