On today’s episode, we’ll be covering “Head to Toe” safety.

When you hear the saying “Safe from Head to Toe”, what comes to mind? As it pertains to this episode, we’re talking about everything you wear to keep you safe at work. This can be a myriad of items, especially when you include the Covid Pandemic we’re currently in. So, to keep the list manageable, we’ll cover the essentials:

• Head | Hard Hat: Wearing one will help you avoid bumping your head directly or having items fall on it.
• Eyes | Safety Glasses and Shields: These will help you avoid damage to your eyes and harmful particles from affecting them.
• Ears | Plugs and Muffs: Even the most undetectable sounds can damage your hearing over time. Wearing these will help prevent that.
• Nose and Mouth | Masks and Respirators: This is a PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that has become all too familiar as of late. They’re used to avoid breathing in harmful fumes and particles present in the air.
• Chest and Back | Reflective Vests, Harnesses, and Braces: These items help support you, keep you from falling, and assure people can see you clearly.
• Hands | Gloves: Whether it’s hot, cold, rough, or sharp surfaces, these will help keep your hands safe.
• Body | Apparel: This can include everything from flame retardant, heat resistance, hazmat, and general uniform to avoid you ruining your personal clothes.
• Feet | Safety Boots: Generally, steel-toed and slip-resistant, these will help you maintain your footing and help avoid damage to your feet.

As always, this was just a high-level look at all the various PPE we utilize to stay safe and avoid injury. Although they’re associated with different parts of the body, they work in symphony together. Regardless of how uncomfortable or inconvenient, they can be sometimes, remember they’re in use to assist in sending you home safely after each shift.
