Workplace safety is paramount in every industry, whether you
are working with large and heavy machinery or working in a kitchen around
flammable materials. One of the easiest ways to increase workplace safety is by
renting work uniforms from Chesapeake Uniforms. Work uniforms are a proven way
to quickly and easily improve the workplace, and here are three reasons why.
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
requires that every workplace take precautions to provide a safe work
environment for employees.
Work uniforms
are an ideal way to help foster workplace safety, as they can be optimized and
customized to specifically do just that. If your employees work in an
environment with fire, use flame resistant materials. If they also work around
heavy machinery, the flame retardant clothing can be fitted to the body so that
it doesn’t snag.
If your employees work around electrical equipment, use
uniforms without any metal zippers, buttons, or fasteners to avoid shocks.
Working in a lab? Protecting against chemicals is essential to workplace
safety. Snap-front lab coats can be quickly removed if chemicals are spilled to
prevent contact with the employee’s skin. Working in
construction?
Construction uniforms are also designed for maximum visibility, so that your
workers will stand out on a busy road or sidewalk.
If you rely on employees to clean their own work uniforms,
particularly if they are customized and need special laundering methods, you
are setting yourself up for failure. Uniform rentals allow your old uniforms to
be taken away, cleaned, and repaired properly by professionals. You will always
have clean uniforms, in good repair, to give your employees. Keep in mind that
many of the design features on a uniform designed for workplace safety will
lose their efficacy altogether if they are not properly cared for. Proper
cleaning and maintenance are critical.
One of the best things about work uniform rentals is that
they also help to increase your workplace safety standards. You will lower your
risk of an accident occurring and also make your workers feel more taken care
of. Always talk with your Chesapeake Uniform representative about any specific
job requirements that your office has. You can always design multiple
variations of your uniform for different workers, like one color for those
driving trash trucks and other safety features for those working to operate
sorting machinery.
