ITALIAN CLOTHES IN THE WORKPLACE: A SAFE CHOICE IN ALL SENSES
Rome (Ign) - Individual protective devices, fireproof clothing, gloves, windcheaters, footwear, goggles, masks, noise-reduction devices, acid-proof and catch-free devices, and fall-prevention belts are all articles which serve to protect workers in even the most extreme conditions. Safety at work is an issue of great importance, and clothing plays an essential role: having clothing and accessories in line with safety standards helps protect from all those risks - common and otherwise - which workers in some sectors may encounter.
Italian companies offer a range of products at the forefront in this field: not only work clothes, but also a series of related services, ranging from the design and production of exclusive models tailor-made to meet the needs of all kinds of work, to strict quality control in the production phase. Then there is safety consultancy, which has become increasingly important in view of current legislation in the field and its future development. The sector of clothing for accident prevention, moreover, is of vital importance because it regards the main sectors of the Italian industrial system, and has now become a fundamental issue due to stringent checks and the legislator's attention to the occupational field.
Safety and protection, then, but with that little extra something which allows Italian companies in the sector to compete on the market as leaders: Italian companies, while responding to current Italian and European regulations, manage to provide products which distinguish themselves in terms of ergonomics, comfort and design. The added value of Italian products, then, is to be found in their better performance, greater comfort and superior quality, which lets workers work more effectively, rather than constricting them, by allowing them to move naturally, also in function of the work they perform. This particular attention has always distinguished Italian goods from their foreign competitors.
And the particular styling which has always characterised Italian safety products, with products designed down to the last detail, does not of course happen by chance. The process covers everything from definition and modelling to the production of highly personalised prototypes of product lines. This is made possible by consultancy services aimed at examining the problems related to company clothing and individual protective devices. As part of their work, they carry out tests which help them establish the features and functions required of the items and thus improve their performance. The technical laboratories of the largest companies in the sector, in fact, are always at the forefront, boasting discoveries that have made it possible to improve the working conditions of many of their customers. This is the case of hand-held shields in polyamide with ergonomic grips, inclined for better adherence to the face, or filtered face masks with small breathing valves, which provide protection from dusts, gases and fumes of low or medium toxicity. We see here great technology concentrated in products for everyday use, which not only protect but are also extremely useful - a vital feature in contributing to worker productivity.
