If you’ve ever purchased arc flash personal protective equipment (PPE), you know that it isn’t exactly an inexpensive purchase. But this is because of the highly engineered materials used, the extensive testing required and the fact that the gear has the ability to protect workers when exposed to a potentially devastating arc flash it is a justified, essential expense.

Due to this large expense, it is common practice for companies to share PPE, as most companies cannot justify purchasing each worker their own personal gear, especially if they only work on high voltage equipment occasionally.

In this COVID-19 world, an emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene is of utmost importance to companies and employees alike. But, how do companies keep their shared arc flash PPE clean and safe for workers.

When it comes to lifting the standard of hand protection, Elliotts don’t just talk about it, we lead by example. Elliotts were the first to have our gloves certified to Australian Standards back in 2011 and we will now be certifying our gloves to the new glove standard AS/NZS 2161.3:2020 Occupational protective gloves Protection against mechanical risks. 

We have been testing many of our gloves to the new version and now that the standard is published you will notice our labelling and packaging start to change to include the new AS/NZS 2161.3:2020 version.

When it comes to selecting the right work gloves for your worksite or business, it isn’t as simple as it may sound. There are multiple things you should take into consideration when making the selection.

Which is why it is important that employers and employees alike to understand the potential hazards of not having the adequate Person Protection Equipment (PPE) for the job. We have compiled three of the most important tips to help you make the decision.

Foundries can be dangerous places, but they are not uniformly so. A worker is at more risk while pouring molten metal than they are while walking around a quieter area, and safety regulations account for this by requiring more protective layers. Foundry protective clothing can be grouped into two categories: primary protective clothing and secondary protective clothing.

Elliotts has a wide range of products designed to protect workers and their equipment from the hazards associated with welding/fabrication processes. With so many options to choose between — each of which have been manufactured from high-quality temperature resistant fabrics — it is understandable to be overwhelmed by the options. Fortunately, the difference between welding blankets and drapes is quite simple.

Not every type of heat resistance is built for the same context. Some gloves are better for long contact with heat, while others are designed to handle boiling liquids. Choosing the right type is important and, to help you keep safe, we’ve designed this simple checklist to consider.

In foundries where workers are exposed to extreme heat and harsh environments, effective PPE is paramount. There is a range of fabrics and materials designed for use in the industry. We have put together a roundup of the most appropriate materials and their benefits.

Hand and wrist injuries are one of the most common work-related injuries, so it is easy to see why adequate hand protection is so important! At Elliotts, we believe in lifting the standard on hand protection and supporting organisations in ensuring their workers are safe. To this end, we have put together some information on what makes safety gloves certified versus compliant, and why it is so important that organisations know the difference!

There are many factors to consider when selecting the perfect glove working with glass, due to a huge range of different tasks and activities. After extensive testing, we have selected just four gloves from the Elliotts Safety Gear glove range which we know are the best in the breed for use in the glass industry.

With hand and wrist injuries being the most common work-related injuries, it's easy to see why choosing the right-hand protection is so important. Elliotts are constantly designing new styles and searching for the best possible material to protect your hands. When it comes to quality and standard, we don’t just talk about it, we lead by example.

At Elliotts, we provide the best protection for your workplace. Our Welding screens ensure that you are covered, and our screens are the only ones in Australia certified to Australian Standards. Here, we compare our Welding Screens to help you choose what’s best for you.
