Personal protective equipment



Hands, feet, head, eyes, face, respiratory system—all are subject to safety standards designed to protect your workers and reduce the risk of injury.

Personal protective equipment—such as gloves, helmets, goggles, and masks—does not eliminate hazards in the workplace. But it should be an integral part of your overall safety program that includes administrative and engineering controls, workplace analysis, training, and a strong commitment to safety on the part of management and workers.

Find out more about safety programs important to the glass industry through the NGA-sponsored GlassInsure program. Contact the program administrator, Intercorp, at 800/640-7601, or check out www.glassinsure.com.
