Safety Workwear Shop has been supplying PPE and workwear to wood processing companies and carpenters for almost 10 years.

Read some protection tips from another carpenter to industry peers here.

Interviewer: Hi John, can you tell us about your experience as a carpenter and why PPE is so important in your field?

John: Of course. I've been working as a carpenter for over a decade and I've seen enough workplace injuries. Many of these injuries could have been prevented with the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Interviewer: Can you give us an example of how PPE has helped you stay safe at work?

John: Of course. A few years ago I was working on a job where we were cutting a lot of wood. I almost got a piece of sawdust in my eye, but luckily I was wearing goggles and these protected my eyes from serious injury.

Interviewer: That's a good example of how PPE can prevent injuries. Can you tell us about the statistics regarding injuries in the construction industry?

John: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the construction industry has one of the highest rates of non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses, with nearly 200,000 cases reported in 2019.

Interviewer: Wow, that's a disturbing statistic. Can you share some tips for carpenters to stay safe on the job?

John: Of course. Here are five tips I would recommend:

  1. Always wear the correct PPE for the task at hand.
  2. Make sure your tools are well maintained and secured to prevent accidents.
  3. Work systematically and avoid distractions.
  4. Keep your workspace clean and organized.
  5. Get proper training for any tools or equipment you use.

Interviewer: Those are great tips. Is there anything else you would like to share about the importance of PPE in the construction industry?

John: Just that it's crucial for carpenters and other construction workers to prioritize workplace safety. By using PPE and following safety guidelines, we can reduce the risk of injury and stay safe on the job. It's not just about us; it's about our colleagues, our families and our future.
