Six industrial safety products to help protect your employees and facility
The only thing more important than your equipment safety is the safety of your employees. Which is why you need the right industrial safety products on hand. In short, to keep both your equipment and employees safe under all possible circumstances. And help ensure you comply with OSHA requirements.
At AbsorbentsOnline, we carry a wide range of industrial safety products. In other words, everything you need to protect your staff members and the equipment they use every day.
Here are a few items you might consider, based on your workplace and activities:
1. Column Protectors
Many facilities paint their columns the same color as the walls. Which makes columns difficult to see. Particularly when operating vehicles like forklifts, tow motor lifts, or carts. A collision with a column can cause damage to your facility and your equipment — not to mention your employees!
Which is why our Column Protectors are available in a number of bright colors for high visibility. They’re made of 100% high-density polyethylene and can absorb an impact up to 8,500 pounds traveling at up to 7 miles per hour. They come in five different sizes and can fit both round and square supports. They’re easy to install and even contain UV-protectants. Meaning their highly visible colors won’t fade after long periods of outdoor use.
2. Corner Protectors
Similarly, you can protect high-traffic areas in your facility with Corner Protectors. Overhead door frames and the corners around loading docks can take a lot of damage from trucks backing in and unloading. Corner protectors will not just protect your building from damage, but vehicles as well! You can install them on H-frame racking and use them horizontally as rack guards or on loading docks.
They feature a high-density polyethylene construction in bright, visible yellow. These protectors are rust-resistant, stress-resistant, and even UV-protected for outdoor use. They come in two different sizes to best suit your particular applications. And are easy to install using the mounting bolts provided with your purchase.
3. Wall Protectors
Repairing damage to drywall, concrete, or block walls can be expensive. But you can prevent this damage with Wall Protectors. These are especially useful in drum storage areas or on loading docks where wall damage can occur.
You can install wall protectors vertically or horizontally at any height based on your facility needs. Their bright-yellow high-density polyethylene contains UV inhibitors. Which make them suitable for use both indoors and out. They are rust-resistant, stress-resistant, and designed to resist cracking and chipping.
4. Forklift Mats
Don’t let fluids from your forklifts damage your floors or present employee slip hazards. Forklift Mats can protect from both of these situations. These mats are perfect for parking forklifts overnight. Or for protecting floors while performing maintenance or recharging.
Driving forklifts over these super-absorbent polypropylene mats won’t damage them. Their non-penetrable, non-skid material keeps the mats in place. It also prevents fluids absorbed into the top side of the mats from reaching the floors below.
5. Rag Rug Industrial Absorbent Floor Mats
It’s especially important to protect your floors in high-traffic areas. That’s because this is where small spills and leaks tend to frequently happen. Rag Rug Industrial Absorbent Floor Mats are perfect for these applications. For instance, to help prevent slips and trips.
They can absorb oil, coolants, solvents, and water. Because their construction uses 100% recycled materials, you can save money and stay green. The dark mat color hides grime and allows you to use the mats for longer periods of time before replacing them.
6. Abzorb Oil Mats
When absorbent mats just don’t cut it, try Abzorb Oil Mats with the non-penetrable vinyl backing. When you can’t fully absorb a spill or leak, it stops any leftover liquids from reaching — and potentially damaging — your floor.
These polypropylene mats are universally absorbent. Meaning you can use them to absorb oil, coolants, solvents, and water. The mats are non-flammable and come in dark grey to disguise stains. They have skid-resistant backing and a lay flat design that won’t curl or buckle. They’re so durable that we guarantee their use for three years against cracking, tearing, or leaking!
