Be Safe & Seen From a Distance

Contractors in the landscaping and construction fields know safety is key for a productive season.  At mdsassociates.com, we have a great lineup of summer safety products to get your season off to a gainful start. 

Many hazards are a daily part of the construction and landscaping fields.  Cuts, amputations, heat and cold stress, lifting and awkward positions, noise decibel levels from heavy machinery or power tools, slips, trips, falls, crushed limbs and impact injuries from falling debris are all very real. So are accidents involving machinery and vehicles. 

On the job injuries can be prevented by following industrial safety procedures with the right personal safety equipment. that should include easy to see clothing or clothing with high-visibility accents.

Make Any Day a Safe Day

Let's start with hand protection.  We have many options to protect a worker's hands.  We recommend high visibility gloves in the construction and landscaping industries because the workers are always moving.  Being able to see the hands will help prevent unnecessary injuries, saving the worker trips to the hospital and the company time lost including money spent paying for recuperation. Hi-Viz work gloves also assist in better hand signaling and this is important at accident scenes, highway construction or event parking.

Hi-viz T-shirts provide optimal visibility, maximum safety and are a lightweight and comfortable alternative or addition to wearing a vest or jacket. Available in both short and long sleeve options with optional UV protection and insect repellent, workers can still attain up to a Class 3 requirement wearing a garment that they may be less likely to remove while on the job.

Top off any of your work shirts with hi-viz traffic safety vests.  These lightweight vests come in hi-vis orange or yellow colors and typically include 2 inch silver retro-reflective tape on the shoulders and torso area.  Available with ANSI/ISEA 107 certification and without (non0ANSI), Traffic Vests are available in different configurations and with different options come with plenty of storage pockets, pen pockets and zips up in the front to keep it tight and secure.  Keep your crew visible this year with the bright hi-visibility apparel such as t's, sweats and vests at MDS associates.com.
