why do the workers in coal mines not use the caps made for clothes
Answers
Explanation:
- Weather Protection — an important aspect of protective clothing is protection from the elements. ... Safety officers are exposed to all the daily risks on their mines and have experienced accidents, near accidents, falls and hazards in all weather conditions.
Answer:
What is the purpose of protective gear?
* Improved Visibility — Be Visible Be Seen is not a slogan only to be used in road safety initiatives. Higher-visibility gear is also important at the mine and especially when dealing with traffic at the mining site. Bright colors and retro reflective strips are common on quality equipment and make workers more visible to others such as motorists, truck drivers and even pedestrians.
* Abrasion Resistance — Thick, tough leather provides the most abrasion resistance in a crashes, but fabrics such as cordura, kevlar and ballistic nylon provide significant protection too. In addition, fabrics are generally cheaper, easier to maintain, waterproof, and more comfortable in hot weather. Thick leather, which affords the most abrasion resistance, can be uncomfortable in high temperatures, may cause heat stress & loss of control with insufficient fluid replacement. Some gear is constructed of fabrics made into a 'mesh' that provides cooling and a stable surface for the attachment of padding
* Padding — Quality jackets and pants provide significant extra padding in the vulnerable joint regions. This can take the form of simple foam padding, or dual-density foam that stiffens when compressed, sometimes with plastic or carbon fiber outer-shells that distribute the impact across the pad. Integrated pieces can be found in some jackets.
* Weather Protection — an important aspect of protective clothing is protection from the elements. Extreme weather can sometimes make working conditions unbearable or dangerous. Gear needs to provide protection from wind, rain and cold.
What is the protective gear required for greater mining safety?
The best answer to this question is to approach the safety experts from different mines. Safety officers are exposed to all the daily risks on their mines and have experienced accidents, near accidents, falls and hazards in all weather conditions.
Some advice from the biking community that could benefit mineworker safety includes:
Protective gear should conform to anatomy and not slide around. Vulnerable areas are the head, hands,knees, elbows, shoulders and hips. Gear should be bought for the protective qualities and not as a fashion statement.
