Respirators Such as contact dermatitis, cancers, and

other injuries and infections are the second

most common type of occupational disease
and can be very costly.

Skin protection Most injuries occur when solid particles

such as metal slivers, wood chips, sand or
cement chips get into the it. Smaller
particles in smokes and larger particles,
such as broken glass also account for
particulate matter causing injuries.

Eye protection Serve to protect the user from breathing in

contaminants in the air, thus preserving the
health of one's respiratory tract.

Hearing protection Refers to the various suits and uniforms

worn to protect the user from harm. Lab
coats worn by scientists and ballistic vests
worn by law enforcement officials, which
are worn on a regular basis, would fall into
this category.

Protective clothing and ensembles
Workers who are regularly exposed to noise
levels above the NIOSH recommendation
should be furnished protection by the
employers, as they are a low-cost
intervention.

Protection for Work at Height
Work at height, whose risks involve the use of specific
protective equipment for their development, require the
mandatory use of safety harnesses. According to the general
rules of work safety, from 1.80 meters high, if there is no
presence of scaffolding and when there is danger of free fall,
it is necessary to use safety harnesses. Also at heights less
than 1.80 meters, involving work on surfaces without
protection against falling in its perimeter, such as edges of
roofs, slabs, excavations and electrical installations, in turn
require the use of harness for work at height.
There are many jobs that are carried out in electrical
installations, but to carry out these works it is not only
necessary to have and use the appropriate Protective
Equipment, so it is convenient to remember which
workers have access to these facilities.
These works are carried out in substations,
transformation centers, distribution boards, power
lines and consumption points. In addition, they can be
carried out in high places such as lines, roofs, in places
under rasete such as ditches, tunnels and galleries
and in spaces with special risks such as damp
premises, premises with risk of fire or explosion and
in conductive areas.
In the Operative Instruction of title The protection
against exposure by inhalation of chemical
substances: collective protection equipment (EPC)
was stated as a general rule, that whenever chemical
substances were handled in operations where the
agent could be environmentally dispersed, or other
tasks were carried out that generate fumes, vapors,
gases, aerosols, dust, etc. Protection equipment
would be used with absolute priority
