National Safe Work Month 2018

What do these 3 products have in common?

October is National Safe Work Month, and RSEA Safety wants to help you improve your workplace health and safety. We've picked three products that every workplace should have, not just in October but all year round! 

Workplace Safety Step

A large number of workplace injuries occur with workers reaching for goods above shoulder height. Providing a stable and robust platform is perfect for reducing the risk of over-reaching or falling from improvised step ladders, and makes it easier to carry items on and off shelves. The RSEA Safety Step is safe up to a load of 250 kg and provides a much needed lift of 365 cm. The Safety Step has a structurally reinforced underside that prevents sagging to give full stability and a flat surface at all times.

Up to date First Aid Kit

While many offices and workplaces do have first aid kits, a surprising number of the items in a first aid kits can expire or perish. Ointments and batteries need to be checked regularly and the adhesives on some bandages and tapes will perish over time. 
Picking the right first aid kid depends on the number of staff who may use it, the type of workplace and what kind of equipment, tools and chemicals being used. The Trafalger Soft Case Portable First Aid Kit has colour coded components for ease of use during emergencies, and complies with most State regulatory requirements. For more information on what kind of First Aid Kit is right for you, talk to the staff at your nearest RSEA Safety store.

Disposable Gloves

Every workplace should have a supply of disposable gloves. Incredibly versatile, nitrile disposable gloves offer protection when servicing machinery, handling contaminated or dirty goods, using common chemicals and solvents as well as general cleaning duties. SW Safety Solutions AloeSkin Nitrile Disposable Gloves are a step above regular disposable gloves, featuring a patented 100% aloe vera coating. Studies have shown this new glove technology works to decrease irritation and improve skin integrity and appearance in those wearing disposable gloves for long periods of time.

 
October is National Safe Work Month, which aims to improve awareness of workplace health and safety, and encourage discussion about safety at work across Australia. National Safe Work Month is supported by Safe Work Australia, with more information available on their website.
