The PPErfect equipment for staying out of harm’s way

07 September 2023

PERHAPS MORE than other trades, electrical engineers face regular and varied risks during their work, not least electric shocks, airborne pollution, and exposure to hazardous substances. Employing appropriate PPE is the first step to a safety-first mentality. Here we focus on the selection of Jefferson Tools’ PPE for electrical engineers.

In the high-risk world of electrical engineering, safety is the first priority (and possibly the second and third, too). And while avoiding electrical shocks is the most obvious, it’s far from being the only risk. Many electrical engineers find themselves working on sites in industrial and commercial buildings, where potential hazards lurk in every corner and the air itself. These hazardous environments require the use of robust and reliable personal protection equipment (PPE) to ensure the safety and well-being of the engineers. 

Maximum safety - minimum risks

Jefferson Tools, one of the leading suppliers of professional tools and equipment offers a range of high-quality PPE solutions tailored specifically to the needs of electrical engineers. Their products, including safety gloves, eye and face and ears protection, mats, are designed to meet rigorous safety standards while ensuring comfort and usability. With Jefferson Tools, safety and excellence go hand in hand, ensuring a work environment where electrical engineers can thrive.

Protective vision: black nylon frame safety glasses 

Eyes are irreplaceable, and Jefferson Tools' Black Nylon Frame Safety Glasses quite rightly prioritize their protection. With a sleek one-piece design, these glasses provide low-energy impact resistance, ensuring a shield against potential hazards. The lightweight black nylon frame and clear lenses offer both comfort and clarity. Moreover, the adjustable temple length guarantees a personalized fit, allowing engineers to work without compromise. 

A breath of fresh air: face masks

It’s not just our outsides that need looking after - our insides do too. In the realm of PPE, Jefferson Tools' Valved Masks are designed to provide superior respiratory protection. They are made to filter out 99% of airborne particles, including hazardous substances and fine dust often present in industrial and construction sites. The valve facilitates effortless breathing while maintaining a comfortable and secure fit. The FFP3 Valved Mask not only shields against respiratory hazards but also proves to be an exceptional companion in reducing the risk of airborne pollution during the workday.

Safeguarding hands: black nitrile gloves (Box of 50) 

An electrical engineer's hands are their most invaluable tools – and worth protecting. Recognizing this, Jefferson Tools presents the Jefferson Gecko Grip Professional Nitrile Gloves.

Clear protection: face shield with clear visor 

Protective glasses will only get you so far, sometimes the work environment dictates securing the whole face. Face Shield with Clear Visor is specifically designed to address these challenges. With an 8"x15" full-face clear visor and a bowguard with an adjustable headband, this face shield offers comprehensive coverage and a comfortable fit. The quick-lock clips enable easy visor replacement, ensuring uninterrupted safety. Tested and approved to CE EN 166:2001 standards, this face shield is a trusted defence against potential hazards.
