Reduce Liability for Accidents at Work With The Correct Safety Accessories
In the UK, Health and Safety Regulations state that employers have a duty of care to provide their employees with the correct protective clothing that is suitable for the specific working environment. It is determined that employees who are exposed to potential dangers in the work place should be equipped with suitable safety work wear – and that includes safety accessories that are sometimes overlooked.
There are many different types of safety equipment accessories such as thermal socks, woolly hats, tarpaulin, cotton dust sheets, wet wipes and hard helmets with LED lights to name but a few. At times, safety accessories may seem insignificant, but without the small investment employers leave themselves exposed to potential legal action which could damage your business and the reputation of your business, not to mention expensive legal fees and raised insurance premiums.
Hats and Caps

Hard hats of course are the traditional for of head protection and modern helmets are fitted with cost-effective LED lamps. You will also find general purpose hats with protective outer shell are fairly common, whereas thermal woolly hats are often overlooked, but should be supplied if your employees are exposed to cold temperatures such as high-altitude construction workers.
Work Socks
Thermal SocksIn a similar case scenario, thermal work socks should also be supplied to prevent employees suffering injury to their feet such as frostbite. But thermal safety socks are not just for warmth, they also provide extra padded protection to feet when working in heavy duty conditions that require a lot of stress in the legs and feet. Work socks are made for snug comfort, soft support and long-wearing strength.

Cotton dust sheets or tarpaulin catch debris to prevent debris making a mess on the floor and making it easier for you to tidy up and clear away the dirt at the end of your shift. Warning tapes should also be used to warn people of potential dangers, spillages or restricted areas for authorized personnel qualified to enter a certain area of the workplace.
