Heatleys

The higher the exposure the greater the protection and reduction in exposure required. In AS/NZS 1715, different combinations of respirators are assigned a required minimum protection factor (RMPF) for clean shaven, fit tested and trained wearers.

A major contributor to reduced respiratory protection is poor facial fit. As a consequence, Australia and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1715:2009 “Selection, Use & Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices” sets out a requirement that wearers of tight fitting negative pressure facemasks be fit tested for compliance to the standard.

There was a time when wearing hearing protectors meant being isolated and out of contact. Those days are over. Today, the 3M™ PELTOR™ Brand of Products offers communication solutions that not only make your working day safer and more efficient, but also much smarter.

The past three years have been transformative for Heatleys, marked by substantial growth and expansion in our online business. We are excited to share the key metrics highlighting our progress and the strategic initiatives that have driven our success. Here’s a detailed look at our journey through numbers.

Three years ago, Heatleys Safety & Industrial embarked on a transformative journey. With a revitalised brand and visual identity, Heatleys took a significant step towards becoming a digital enterprise with the launch of its new website. This digital transformation brought numerous benefits to its service, including enhanced purchasing capabilities and access to a broader retail audience.

Bollé Safety's eyewear offers comfort, style, and superior protection, addressing the challenge of ill-fitting glasses. The Silex+ Small model caters to smaller faces, ensuring a secure fit and advanced shielding. With lens options for different environments and the innovative CSP beige coating, these glasses prioritise safety and versatility for various work settings.

All employers have a duty of care to provide their employees and contractors with a safe working environment. Where there is moving machinery and plant items in operation an effective Lockout/Tagout program is a vital component.

The chest strap should be placed directly under the sternum, and the webbing should fit securely under the buttocks. As a rule of thumb, a correct fit should allow a flat hand to be placed behind the leg strap.

MATES in Construction is a national mental health and suicide prevention charity: an industry-based solution for an industry-based problem. MATES' integrated program of training and ongoing support reduces suicide through creating a workplace community of 'mates looking out for mates'.

National Safe Work Month is an important time to reflect on the importance of workplace safety and the wellbeing of our employees. No workplace is entirely risk-free, but it’s important that there are health and safety measures in place to manage these risks.
