What are the best ways to store and maintain industrial safety equipment?

PPE storage: 1)Keep the PPE away from direct sunlight when stored & keep the storage area clean & dry. 3)Train users on how to store PPE correctly. 4)Consult manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance. PPE made from highly engineered materials may have more stringent storage requirements. For example, keeping fire-resistant clothing in lockers, drawers or closets. Locate your PPE storage in a place that's convenient for workers. This will make it more likely that workers will use the equipment when they need it. Storing PPE using wire shelves, storage cabinets & bins can make it easier & faster for workers to find the right equipment in the right size. Consider using a managed inventory service to handle PPE organization or vending.

Personal protective equipment should be stored classified and labeled according to expiration date and stored for each coding category. The storage place should be well ventilated. It should be away from factors such as light, moisture, dust, etc. Prepare a systematic list that has complete specifications. be distributed based on the earliest expiration date and inspected periodically. Instructions for their use, maintenance and repairs should be prepared and kept and installed in a suitable place.

1.Select the right extinguishers suitable for the types of fires common to your location, (eg. farms), such as Class A (wood, paper), Class B (liquids), and Class C (electrical). 2.Install them in easily accessible areas, near potential fire risks. 3.Check them monthly for pressure, damage, & wear. Service them as needed. Replace them as recommended by the manufacturer. 4.Know the PASS Technique: -P*ull pin to unlock extinguisher. -A*im the nozzle at base of fire. -S*queeze handle to release extinguishing agent. -S*weep from side to side to cover flames. 5.Ensure that everyone is trained to use them. 6.Keep area around them clear of obstructions for easy access. 7.Have emergency numbers, including the local fire dept., posted prominently.

Extinguishers should be installed based on the type of use and identification of environmental hazards. Extinguishers are divided into water, powder, CO2, halon and firefighting foam categories and should be placed according to the type of fire. There are special standards in this case, the most important of which is NFPA. The installation place should be accessible, at a suitable height and away from harmful and influential factors. Repairing it is a specialized work that requires an expert. There are monthly, 6-monthly and yearly periodic inspections, and special tests such as the hydrostatic body test are required at least every 5 years. People should be familiar with the location and location map and be trained on how to use them.

1)Lock-out/tag-out practices are key to workplace safety. 2)Dirt/debris can damage parts when left unattended for long periods. Clean your equipment. 3)Lubricate any moving parts before storing. 4)Make sure pressure is slightly over-inflated to keep the tires from flattening when left unused. 5)Tighten nuts & screws to keep parts in place. 6)Paint over chipped areas to protect the body from rust. 7)Keep ID numbers visible for inventory purposes. 8)During winter, fill the tank to prevent condensation from contaminating fuel lines when the spring thaws. When storing winter equipment in the spring, drain the fuel with a siphon to prevent rust from forming in the tank. 8)Make sure there is ample space between machinery to prevent collisions.
