How to Choose the Right PPE for Your Industry

Introduction

Every workplace has its unique safety challenges. From oil and gas rigs to manufacturing plants, the right Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is not one-size-fits-all. Selecting the correct gear is vital to keeping employees safe and maintaining compliance. At Hands-On Facility Nigeria Limited, we help organizations identify, procure, and implement PPE tailored to their operations.

Step 1: Understand Your Industry Hazards

  • Construction: risk of falls, head injuries, dust
  • Oil & Gas: fire hazards, chemical exposure, respiratory risks
  • Manufacturing: noise, moving machinery, cuts and abrasions

Step 2: Match Hazards with the Right PPE

  • Helmets, goggles, and safety boots for physical risks
  • Respiratory protection for dust and fumes
  • Flame-resistant clothing for oil & gas workers
  • Manufacturing: noise, moving machinery, cuts and abrasions
