Safety Specialist Recommended - Top 5 Winter Safety Products with RSEA Safety Winter in Australia means changes in temperature, changes in weather and reduced daylight hours. For those working in winter, this means staying warm, alert and visible in a working environment with the right workplace safety equipment being paramount. We caught up with Catherine Leipold, one of our RSEA Safety Specialists in Victoria with Cert IV in OHS and Cert IV in Training and Assessments who’s had 8 years with RSEA Safety, and put together a list of our top 5 essential products for winter safety! ELEVEN Workwear 4 in 1 jacket The 4 in 1 Jacket from ELEVEN Workwear continues to be a favourite for our customers in the transport, logistics and mining industries. The 4 in 1 Jacket complies with AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 standards suitable for day/night use and can be worn as a double layered jacket and vest, the jacket alone for wet weather or just the high visibility referable vest for warmer days Magnum Precision Max Waterproof Safety Boots When it comes to winter footwear, customers love the waterproof yet breathable Precision Max safety boots from leading footwear brand Magnum Boots. Favoured by those who work around long grass and other wet environments, the Precision Max is 100% waterproof and breathable thanks to ion-mask™ technology pioneered by Magnum Rainbird Watchman Beanie Minimizing exposure to the cold is essential in winter, and the Control Blizzard Plus Beanie with 3M Thinsulate™ technology is perfect for long shifts in colder weather. Thinsulate™ insulation is warm yet lightweight, powerful yet thin. We recommend the Blizzard Plus beanie for its range of high visibility colours and proven technology Wet Floor A-Frame Hazard Reduction Sign Working safely in winter isn’t just about the right apparel, it also means keeping an eye on your workplace. If there’s an increased risk of customers bringing water into your store during wet weather, a Wet Floor A-Frame hazard reduction sign is highly recommended for rainy days. If you’re responsible for the safety of your workplace, watch for wet floors during bad weather and keep a Wet Floor A-Frame hand while you mop up excess water Perfect Image LED Torch No list of winter safety products would be complete without a good torch! The ideal torch is powerful and long lasting yet compact and convenient. We recommend the Perfect Image 300 Lumen High Powered LED Torch to keep in your car, workbag or home. The Perfect Image LED Torch features a zoom lens suitable for distances up to 300 metres and is splash-proof and dust-proof against an IP 67 standard. |
