Hand Protection Safety Guide

Choosing the correct glove for work can be a very important safety decision. Gloves must be comfortable, fit well, protect against the hazards of a particular task and provide good grip under working conditions. Pro Choice Safety Gear has Australia and New Zealand’s most diversified protective glove range for use in manufacturing, building, mining, laboratory, horticulture, food handling, medical and forestry applications.

HEARING PROTECTION SAFETY GUIDE

Continual exposure to noise from machinery, tools, traffic and general workplace activity can cause significant, irreversible hearing loss. Hearing loss has a dramatic impact on quality of life and may contribute to other safety problems, such as lack of awareness and reduced concentration. Correctly designed and fitted ear protection will keep industrial noise below harmful levels. The choice of the appropriate protection device for each job is also vitally important.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SAFETY GUIDE

The Pro Choice Safety Gear options include a choice of flat folded disposable masks through to the ProMesh® range, as well as cartridge respirators. You can breathe easy with Pro Choice Safety Gear. Our disposable and reusable respirators are colour coded for easy selection for the correct application and fit. For your safety and confidence all Pro Choice dust masks are certified independently by the BSI Group or SAI Global to AS/NZS 1716 requirements.

PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR SAFETY GUIDE

Why wear eye protection? Industrial related eye injuries are commonly caused by chemical splashes, metal or plastic debris hitting the eye, tools accidentally striking the face, and improper use of equipment. Given that most Australian and New Zealand industries require protective eyewear to be worn, why not look stylish wearing them? Pro Choice has an ever changing range of safety specs in the latest materials, designs and colours, which meet the required safety standards. Our Certified range also includes protective goggles and face shields.

PROTECTIVE HEADWEAR SAFETY GUIDE

Hard hat head protection is required on most work sites in Australia and New Zealand, and Pro Choice Safety Gear is proud to offer an unprecedented selection of colours, styles, ventilation and adjustments that will suit every application. Our range is tested and Certified to the highest standards as required by Australian and New Zealand industries. It isn’t just the range of models that makes our hard hat range so adaptable, it’s the availability of the Pro Choice Safety Gear accessories that integrate seamlessly onto all of our models. These include attachable face shields, hearing protection and visors to name a few.

SUN PROTECTION SAFETY GUIDE

Skin cancers account for around 80% of all newly diagnosed cancers and between 95-99% of skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun. Scientists now believe that both UVA and UVB rays damage skin and cause skin cancer. The best protection against cancer causing UV rays is to stay out of the sun. That’s pretty well impossible on most work sites, so the next best thing is to slip on a long sleeved shirt, slop on the PROBLOC®, slap on a wide brim hat and slide on some safety sunglasses.
