IndustrialSafety.com Recommended Goggles for Ebola Protection

Our recommended goggle for Ebola protection is the Uvex Stealth OTG anti-fog/anti-scratch goggle.


Sperian S3970D Stealth Otg W/Neoprene Band Navy Frame A/F Lens Clear Ea


  • Available with Durastreme dual coating technology
  • Easy lens replacement system
  • Low profile, wrap-around design fits comfortably over most prescription eyewear
  • Pivoting headband clip and wide adjustable slide headband provides a range of adjust-ability and all day comfort
  • Indirectly Vented
  • Anti-Fog Lens
  • Anti-Scratch Lens


Goggles are designed to fit snugly, but not necessarily seal around the wearer’s eyes. NIOSH states: “appropriately fitted, indirectly-vented goggles* with a manufacturer’s anti-fog coating provide the most reliable practical eye protection from splashes, sprays, and respiratory droplets. However, to be efficacious, goggles must fit snugly, particularly from the corners of the eye across the brow. While highly effective as eye protection, goggles do not provide splash or spray protection for other parts of the face.”

* Directly-vented goggles may allow penetration by splashes or sprays; therefore, indirectly-vented or non-vented goggles are preferred for infection control.

Safety glasses provide impact protection but do not provide the same level of splash or droplet
protection as goggles and generally should not be used for infection control purposes.

Industrialsafety.com Reminds You to Replace Your Fire Extinguishers Regularly and Practice Safe Fire Procedures!

When it’s time to replace your fire extinguisher, industrialsafety.com offers a large range of extinguishers to fit any need and budget. From manufacturing and vehicle repair shops to fire extinguishers for your kitchen and living areas, you will find industrialsafety.com carries the brands that America trusts with their most critical safety concerns.

Just like the batteries in your smoke alarm, fire extinguishers don’t last forever. They need to be maintained and replaced every few years. Even if the needle on your extinguisher says “Full”, there are many things that can happen that will cause your fire extinguisher to not work properly. The chemicals in fire extinguishers are just like pharmaceutical drugs. Over extended periods of time, they can lose their potency. And unless your replace your fire extinguisher regularly, you won’t know until it’s too late!

When purchasing a new fire extinguisher, it’s important to know what to look for. The first thing you need to do is determine what type of fire you are most likely to encounter. Industrialsafety.com has fire extinguishers suitable for every type of fire. The letters and numbers on a fire extinguisher represent the types of fires that they are best suited to extinguish, along with their effectiveness. The most common type of fire extinguisher for a home or office is class A-B-C. “A” represents ordinary combustibles like wood and paper. “B” represents flammable liquids like cooking oil or gasoline. And “C” puts out fires started by live electricity. 

The higher the number, the more effective the extinguisher. Industrialsafety.com recommends that every home should have a combination 2-A:10-B:C extinguisher, which is rated for every type of common household or business fire. For optimal safety, they should be no more than 40 feet apart from each other in every area of your home or office. Due to the number of flammable liquids in a small space like a garage or workshop, it’s crucial to make sure that you have a high rating for both B and C classes. Industrialsafety.com recommends a 3-A:40-B:C fire extinguisher for both home garages, as well as public parking garages and auto show rooms. Since the kitchen is the most likely place that you will experience a fire in your home, industrialsafety.com also recommends that you have a dedicated 10-B:C to fight any grease fires that may arise.

They also have a large selection of Class K fire extinguishers for professional cooking environments.
IndustrialSafety.com wants to remind you to always use fire extinguishers safely. Remember the PASS word! Always stand six to eight feet from the fire and follow the four-step PASS procedure!
P – Pull the pin.
A – Aim at the base of the fire.
S – Squeeze the lever.
S – Sweep from side to side until the fire is extinguished.

Remember that when you squeeze the lever, pressurized chemicals will release, so be prepared and hold on! The fire may briefly flair up, but it won’t last, so don’t worry! Remember to always point the fire extinguisher away from you and towards the base of the fire and move carefully towards the fire as it starts to die down. Fire safety is a multi-part process. Always be sure to evacuate the building and call the fire department before you use the fire extinguisher! And make sure there is a clear exit behind the person using the fire extinguisher, so that they can leave in a hurry if something goes wrong! Smoke alarms are another critical part of any fire safety plan. Statics say that over 90% of fire fatalities were due to faulty smoke alarms. 

Experts suggests changing your batteries twice a year, when you change the clocks for Daylight Savings.
A full service government contractor and preferred fulfillment partner to many Fortune 500 companies, industrialsafety.com supplies America with safety equipment, emergency supplies and industrial equipment to help keep American workers safe on the job.

Ansell Professional Glove Sizing Information


Ansell Glove Sizing Information

How to figure out which size glove you need
To know what size glove you need, you must first find out your hand size.
To do this, measure around your hand, above the thumb and below the fingers. The best tool for this is a dressmaker’s cloth tape measure, but you can also wrap a strip of paper around your hand, mark the length, and then flatten the paper out to find the length on an ordinary ruler.
Your hand diameter in inches measured in this manner, rounded to the nearest half-inch, is numerically equal to your nominal glove size. (If you are using a metric tape measure, divide cm by 2.5 to obtain your hand size.) For example: if the measurement taken is 8 inches, then you would select a size 8 glove. If your measurement is over 8 inches then you should select the next size larger in order to avoid hand fatigue from a glove that is too small.
Note that this measurement for glove size is made on the hand. Whether you are using thin disposable gloves, thick gloves padded with insulation, or anything in between, your glove size will be about the same.
This system does not account for all possible variations in hand size, of course. For example, some people have long slim fingers and others have short stubby fingers. You may find that the gloves that fit you most comfortably are designated as one-half or even one full size larger or smaller than your measured hand size.
If the gloves you are purchasing come in lettered sizes such as XS, S, M, L, XL, or XXL, these can be easily translated to a numerical size for easy selection. If you need assistance, refer to the chart provided here:

How to Choose the Right Fire Extinguisher


Need Help Picking the Correct Fire Extinguisher?

For Business




REMEMBER THE PASS WORD
Stand 6 to 8 feet away from the fire and follow the four-step PASS procedure recommended by National Fire Protection Association:
P - Pull the pin and hold the extinguisher with the nozzle pointing away from you.
A - Aim low at the base of the fire.
S - Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly to discharge the extinguishing agent. (When the agent first hits the fire, the fire may briefly flare up. This should be expected.)
S - Sweep the nozzle from side to side, moving carefully toward the fire. Keep the extinguisher aimed at the base of the fire.

USE SAFELY
Fire extinguishers are only one element of a complete fire survival plan.
Only use your extinguisher after making sure:
All residents of the home have been evacuated to safety
The fire department has been notified
There is a clear exit behind the person using the extinguisher
Use your extinguisher only to keep a small self-contained fire from growing, only when the room is not filled with smoke, or to create a safe pathway out of the home. Read the instructions and become familiar with your fire extinguisher's parts and operation before a fire breaks out.
