UNSAFE CLOTHING CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS
No matter how carefully machines
are guarded or how well a plant is
maintained, injuries can occur because
individuals wear unsafe clothing. Wo
men’s long hair may become entangied
in machinery or men’s loose neckties
or dangling shirt sleeves may get caught
in moving parts. Shirts that blouse too
much or which have torn pockets may
be grabbed by a machine or a torn pants
leg might get caught.
Tripping might be caused by pants
that are too long or which have torn
cuffs. Foot injuries may result from
the wrong type of shoes or footwear
that has been mutilated or that is in
poor repair. Of course, safety shoes
furnish the best protection. Many falls
occur because of high heel shoes. Shoes
with wooden or leather heels slip
easily, and may cause an individual to
suffer a painful fall.
On some jobs ordinary clothing does
not provide sufficient protection and
special types of clothing are needed.
For example, in a dyehouse rubber
aprons are needed for protection against
excessive water and as a safeguard
against acid splashes. Boot shoes are
needed on the wet floors. Rubber gloves
afford protection to the hands and arms.
Face shields and goggles furnish pro
tection for the face and eyes from
splashing injurious chemicals.
Wearing proper clothing is largely an
obligation of the individual. Special
conditions require extraordinary pro
tective clothing, and these are available
Where needed. It will be to your own
advantage to wear safe and sensible
clothing on the job and to make use of
the special protective equipment pro
vided in certain work areas.
SAFE CLOTHING
Here are a few simple suggestions
which you may find helpful:
1. Women—Wear close-fitting, protec
tive hair styles.
2. Do not wear dangling jewelry around
machinery.
3. Avoid loose shirt sleeves and neck
ties.
4. Wear close-fitting shirts and pants.
5. Avoid long pants legs or excessive
cuffs.
6. Wear shoes made on a sensible last
and keep them in good repair. Rub
ber heels offer best protection against
slipping.
7. Wear goggles, gloves and apron when
handling acids or other injurious
chemicals.
