1 Ergonomic Support PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Ergonomics encompasses the processes of making workstations, tools, equipment, and job techniques compatible with workers to reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Did You Know? More than one million workers suffer back injuries each year* Back injuries account for one of every five workplace injuries or illnesses* Low back injuries represent over 90% of all injury claims** Knee pain often directly correlates with back pain* Knees are the second most commonly injured body part resulting in one or more days away from work* PREVENT WORK INJURIES Provide proper back and knee pad support to reduce ergonomic stressors that may injure workers, reducing productivity and revenue for your business. Back Belts Can Help: Counter forces on the spine by increasing intra-abdominal pressure. Stiffen the spine. Restrict bending motions (range of motion). Remind the user to lift properly.

Eye Protection PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Over 2,000 eye injuries occur each day in the American workplace, yielding more than $3 million wasted due to lost production time, medical expenses, and

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 90 percent of eye injuries are preventable through the use of safety eyewear.

3 Eye Protection PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Over 2,000 eye injuries occur each day in the American workplace, yielding more than $3 million wasted due to lost production time, medical expenses, and worker s compensation costs, 10 to 20 percent of the total eye injuries cause temporary or permanent vision loss. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 90 percent of eye injuries are preventable through the use of safety eyewear. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to ensure that each employee uses the appropriate ANSI Z87.1-compliant eye protection when exposed to eye hazards, including: Flying particles Liquid chemicals Acids or caustic liquids Chemical gases or vapors CHOOSE THE RIGHT EYEWEAR Assess vision hazards by four categories: IMPACT FIT Durability to withstand high-impact contact and long-lasting use. Scratch-Resistance to ensure uninhibited vision and cleanliness. SPLASH/AIRBORNE PARTICLES Prescription lenses Ensure prescription lenses and safety wear do not inhibit each other. Face Contour for comfort and appropriate safety. User Preference Style and comfort for more willing compliance. Side Shields - Protect against hazards from all directions. Tight Fit - Protect against airborne hazards, such as dust and debris. OPTICAL RADIATION Filter lens shade number appropriate for level of injurious light radiations.

5 Hand Protection PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Hand injuries account for more than one million emergency room visits by workers per year in the United States, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue for employers. To protect working hands, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hand protection standard mandates employers select and require appropriate hand protection for their employees if they are exposed to the following conditions: Skin absorption of harmful substances Severe cuts or lacerations Severe abrasions or punctures CHOOSE THE RIGHT GLOVE Chemical or thermal burns Harmful temperature extremes The American National Standard Institute (ANSI)/International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) developed a national standard, that rates hand protection performance by evaluating levels of mechanical protection, chemical protection, and other performance characteristics. Using these characteristics, workers can choose the right glove material, comfort level, and mobility for the task. The higher the ANSI rating, the higher the protection. ANSI4/3/4/3 ABRASION CUT TEAR PUNCTURE COATINGS Dry Grip Wet Grip Oil Grip Abrasion Resistance Tactility Comfort Cut Resistance Permeability SMOOTH Smooth, nonporous coating that provides high chemical and abrasion resistance, and is excellent for dry and oily conditions. NITRILE POROUS Flexible, porous, and tacky coating for better grip. Slow water permeation FOAM Flexible, thin, porous coating. Fast water permeation for excellent grip.

7 Hearing Protection PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Hearing loss is the third leading major public health issue affecting 48 million Americans each year, with 60% of those affected in the workforce or educational settings. One of the top offenders causing hearing loss is workplace noise pollution, oftentimes leading to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). According to National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), over-exposure to noise yields auditory and non-auditory effects, including: Temporary/mild/permanent hearing loss Ringing in the ears Physical and/or mental stress Reduced concentration and communication Loss of productivity Increased probability of work-related injury Heart palpitations Aggressive behavior Exhaustion COMBAT NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS IN THE WORKPLACE The most convenient and important solution, yet too commonly overlooked, is using hearing safety devices. It is estimated that almost all instances of occupational hearing loss could have been prevented through the use of the proper ear protection. When choosing hearing protection for each employee, consider all of the following factors: Type of noise Time spent in noise environment Type of work Long-term costs Employee preference NOISE LEVELS BY DECIBELS Pneumatic Precision Drill 119 Hammer Drill 114 Chain Saw 110 Spray Painter 105 Hand Drill 98 Normal Conversation 60 Whisper 30
