No matter what industry you are in, quality PPE matters. It is about time we stopped having near misses and committed to safety first (and second, just to be extra safe).
Have you had a near miss? The nail gun that got a little too close, the chemical splash that nearly hit your eye or the ringing in your ear that, thank goodness, went away after a couple of days…
We’ve all been there. It always sends a shock wave through us to actually use Personal Protective Equipment. But did it last? Are you and your team still using protective gear and most importantly, using it correctly?
Our safety meeting begins now.
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported 2,569,000 nonfatal injuries and illnesses and 5,283 deaths in 2023, down 3.7 percent from 2022! Bringing down these numbers starts with education and execution.
At 503 PPE, we believe safety starts with knowledge. That’s why we’ve created a collection of expert-written safety articles covering hand protection, eye safety, respiratory protection, and more. Whether you’re in construction, manufacturing, healthcare, or industrial work, our guides help you choose the right PPE, follow OSHA standards, and reduce workplace injuries.
