Safety supplies come in a variety of forms, including safety signs,
personal protective equipment, and a wide array of other safety
equipment. Safety supplies are used to mark an area, or to help protect
persons from potentially hazardous conditions. Lock out tag out,
sometimes referred to as lockout tagout (LO/TO), are safety procedures
that use safety devices to help keep areas safe. Lock out tag out
devices use color, warning labels or tags, and a physical barrier to
temporarily prohibit machine operation or power activation, and reduce
accidents, during maintenance or repair. Safety signs, or warning signs
such as “Exit”, “Danger”, or “Caution”, are used to display messaging
and inform people of important circumstances. Personal protective
equipment is anything from reflective chest coverings to hardhats, or
Geiger counters & radiation detectors, used to detect the presence
of ionizing radiation, to emergency response, first aid supplies, and
eye wash units. Fire alarms and fire extinguishers are also used in
safety. Additional safety products include: gloves, safety glasses, ear
protection, hardhats, coveralls, fire-resistant clothing, rainwater
& chemical splash apparel, and lab coats. Hazardous storage
cabinets, and hazardous storage cans are safety equipment. Glove options
include; cleanroom gloves, controlled environment gloves, cryogenic
gloves, cut-resistant gloves, disposable gloves, and work gloves. Flags
are a type of safety sign that come in a variety of colors, shapes,
dimensions, and may have a magnetic, quick disconnect, or threaded hex
base type. Flags can also come with reflective markings and lighting.
Floor markers come in various types of adhesive tape, colors, markings
(such as stripes, arrows, or words), and widths that can be used to mark
an area. Safety mirrors are used as personal protective equipment.
Safety supplies are used in construction sites, work sites, high-traffic
areas, and in home applications. Safety equipment can meet various
safety standards.
