PPE & personal protective equipment
MecaIndus's PPE and safety range brings together equipment designed to ensure the personal protection of operators as well as the securing of work areas. This technical selection meets the requirements for occupational risk prevention in industrial environments, guaranteeing the compliance of personal safety devices and the rescue and signalling equipment needed on worksites.
About PPE & safety
The PPE and safety category is structured around two main areas: personal protective equipment and devices dedicated to rescue and worksite signalling. PPE provides physical protection for the operator against the hazards identified at the workstation. It includes safety footwear compliant with the EN ISO 20345 standard, protective gloves against mechanical risks in accordance with the EN 388 standard, as well as industrial protective helmets meeting the EN 397 standard. Sensory and respiratory protection is also covered by eye protection equipment compliant with the EN 166 standard, individual hearing protectors meeting the EN 352 standard and filtering half-masks against particles of type FFP1 to FFP3 in accordance with the EN 149 standard.
The second segment concerns collective safety and on-site prevention. It brings together the signalling elements essential for delimiting hazard zones or directing flows, in particular high-visibility signalling clothing meeting the requirements of the EN ISO 20471 standard. The choice of equipment is based on a prior analysis of workstation risks. For PPE, the selection must take into account the mechanical, chemical or thermal nature of the hazards, as well as the morphological characteristics of the user. For signalling, the predominant criterion is the visibility and clarity of the messages conveyed in order to prevent accidents in traffic areas or active worksites.
Frequently asked questions — PPE & safety
How do I choose between personal protective equipment and rescue devices?
The choice depends on the risk analysis of the workstation. The PPE - personal protection sub-category is dedicated to the direct physical protection of the operator against identified mechanical, chemical or thermal hazards. Conversely, the Rescue & worksite signalling sub-category focuses on collective safety, accident prevention and the delimitation of work areas to ensure visibility on site.What are the criteria for selecting PPE suited to my industrial environment?
The selection of equipment within the PPE - personal protection range must always be based on a prior analysis of the risks specific to the workstation. It is necessary to take into account the nature of the hazards, whether mechanical, chemical or thermal, as well as the morphological characteristics of the user. Each item of equipment must also comply with the corresponding technical standards, such as the EN ISO 20345 standard for footwear or the EN 388 standard for protective gloves.What is the purpose of signalling equipment compared with personal protection?
Equipment from the Rescue & worksite signalling sub-category is intended to secure the overall working environment rather than the individual alone. It is used to delimit hazardous perimeters and to direct traffic flows on worksites. Unlike PPE - personal protection, which provides direct physical protection, these technical solutions contribute to bringing sites into compliance and promote accident prevention through improved visibility of hazard messages.How can effective protection against airborne particles be ensured on a worksite?
To prevent the risks associated with particles, it is necessary to use appropriate respiratory protective equipment, available within the PPE - personal protection family. The offering includes filtering half-masks classified from type FFP1 to FFP3, compliant with the EN 149 standard. This choice must be correlated with the workstation risk analysis to guarantee protection suited to the concentration of particles present in the working environment.Why is it necessary to use high-visibility clothing?
The use of high-visibility signalling clothing, compliant with the EN ISO 20471 standard, falls within the Rescue & worksite signalling sub-category. This equipment is essential to ensure the visibility of operators in traffic areas or on active worksites. Its use is a prevention measure complementary to personal protection to avoid accidents in industrial settings by ensuring effective signalling of the personnel present.
