Warehouses are busy places, filled with hazardous equipment and space-consuming workstations. Fortunately, Industrial Hearing Protection can help in creating a safe environment. But things can quickly turn risky if the right measures aren't taken. The use of personal protective equipment is mandatory for any job that requires employees to work in a hazardous environment. The sheer number of situations and combinations of PPE available can make choosing the right PPE for a specific situation difficult. Here we will discuss the basics of choosing and implementing personal protective equipment practices that protect workers while extending the equipment's life.

A biological attack is a deliberate release of a pathogen or biotoxin to cause death or economic damage and could be focused on either humans, plants, or animals.

There are two types of potential biological agents namely those that are transmissible and can spread between humans such as smallpox, Ebola or biological agents that are not contagious but are detrimental to health such as anthrax. 

The most harmful biological agents including the above are categorised by the US homeland security as category A due to the fact that they are easily disseminated and/or contagious and lead to high mortality rates.

If you are someone who loves working with food, either as a volunteer enthusiast or as a professional, it is vital to ensure that you don't develop any respiratory diseases due to the nature of your work. While working on different projects, you get exposed to a lot of wood dust, fumes, chemicals and tiny particles that pose a threat to your respiratory system. These may also cause severe allergies, and sometimes, even cancer to those constantly being exposed to the toxins released while working with wood.

Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is issued in certain work environments to protect workers from the inhalation of hazardous substances; such as gases, solvents, powdered chemicals and sprays.
