PPE

PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment. It refers to any items used to protect a person's body from injury or illness. PPE is often required in workplaces where there are potential hazards, such as exposure to chemicals, loud noises, or dangerous machinery.

Of all Daiwa Lance products, Thermic Lance is the product that strictly requires operators to wear protective gear. Below are the must-have PPE items for safe Thermic Lance operation:

  • Safety Helmet: Protects your head from impact, particularly when working with large, heavy materials.
  • Safety Mask: Shields your face from sparks and reduces glare, protecting your eyes.
  • Safety Gloves: Fire-resistant gloves provide better grip and protect your hands from burns.
  • Safety Clothing: Fire-resistant clothing, similar to what firefighters wear, is crucial to prevent burns from flying hot material fragments.
  • Safety Shoes: Sturdy, anti-slip footwear protects your feet from sharp objects and reduces the risk of slipping on hazardous surfaces.

In addition, the operator may choose to wear noise-canceling earplugs, a gas mask, or other protective gear as needed.
