Wearing the right clothing can reduce the effort by half and keep away from danger
Wearing proper clothing during work not only shows professionality but also helps identify the occupation. The functions of the clothes can even reduce the hard work and effort by half. For instance, in electronic factories, cleanroom suits must be worn to avoid damaging products with the static produced between the dust and the clothes and further extending the procedure of tests. The firefighters go on a mission in the professional fire-fighting coats with thermal barriers. The linings have ventilated moisture barriers, allowing the firefighters to successfully search and rescue in the fire without being affected by the heat.
Other than professionality, the right clothing also helps avoid accidents. If the employees in the oil fields wear chemical fiber clothing, static is easily caused when the clothes rubbing against each other and bringing about fire and tragedy. Another instance is the road maintenance workers; the possibilities of traffic accident occurrences will rise if they don’t wear safety vests. These are the examples that are commonly seen.
Due to the rise of the awareness in occupational safety in recent years, the regulations with respect to the protective equipment and safety clothing have been added in the laws for every worker to response to the environments and wear the clothing in line with safety.
Wearing the wrong clothing increases trouble during work and probability of injury
For those who work on construction sites and in factories, the work environments are full of building materials and dangerous equipment. They walk a lot, frequently squat and climb around on a daily basis. If they wear unprofessional safety work pants, what defects can be introduced?
1. Leisure pants: Made of thin materials, leisure pants are prone to be cut or worn by tools. This can affect the appearance and increase probability of injury.
2. Jeans: Jeans are not elastic and doesn’t breathe, making them not favorable for work and actions. With the over-stifling characteristic, they also wet the legs and are extremely uncomfortable to wear.
3. Normal shorts: Although ventilated, thin and lightweight, shorts cannot protect the shanks and expose them in the high probability of being scraped.
4. Cargo pants: Cargo pants are normal leisure pants consisting of thin fabric. Although the pockets are able to keep tools on a person, they have no enhanced abrasion resistance. Quite the contrary, they are commonly cut by the tools and further lead to injury to the legs.
That being said, what are the differences between the safety work pants and the normal daily-wear pants? How do they protect us from harm and enhance the quality of work?
A must for work: The abrasion resistant, ventilated professional safety work pants
A pair of professional safety work pants usually consists of cotton and polyester, which improve their elasticity and make walking easier. Abrasion resistant fabric is often added to better fight abrasion and make the pants more durable. Moreover, we enhance the stitches and pockets to ensure that they will not be easily cut by tools and cause leg lacerations.
Same as the PATRONI, up to 97% pure cotton and the T400 elastic fiber compose the pants and improve their ventilation and elasticity. For the pockets and the upper part on the back – the parts that are most easily worn – we use the CORDURA® abrasion resistance fabric to strengthen the pants in terms of wear resistance. This fabric is also used for military equipment in the U.S. What makes the pants most different are the numerous pockets for keeping stuff. Daily necessities such as cellphones and changes as well as work necessities including long-nosed pliers and measuring tapes can all be properly kept in the pockets. The pants are thus nearly the best mobile kit.
On construction sites and in factories, the environments are filled with sharp objects such as nails and blades as well as dangerous items, e.g. the hanging rebar. Wear a helmet or a hard hat properly for the head, safety shoes for the feet and a functional safety vest for the upper body. These are the necessary equipment for the enhancement of self-protection. And don’t forget to cover your legs, make yourself safer and work favorably by putting on a pair of professional safety work pants.
