Standardization is the premise: system management from selection to distribution
To ensure that construction workers wear and use safety equipment correctly, we must first start from the source, that is, the establishment of a standardized selection and management system for products.
Since its establishment in 1997, Greateagle Safety has been deeply involved in the field of personal protection for more than 20 years. At the beginning of product design, it strictly follows international standards (such as ANSI, EN, GB, etc.) and adapts and develops according to the characteristics of different industries. The company has multiple production bases in Ningbo and Gaomi. Through systematic product classification and use classification, it provides customers with one-stop individual protection solutions from head, eyes, face, fall protection, to hands, feet, etc., to ensure that all equipment distributed on site has a clear use definition and compliance certification.
In addition, Greateagle Safety has jointly built a global business and service network with multiple overseas subsidiaries (such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar), and tailored PPE (personal protective equipment) manuals and wearing specification diagrams for customers in the actual service process to promote the implementation of project standardization.
Training and culture: Make "correct wearing" a habit
Technology is only a guarantee, and human behavior is the real execution core. On construction sites, workers often neglect to wear protective equipment correctly due to empiricism, ignoring risks or comfort issues. Therefore, an effective training system and safety culture construction are particularly important.
In the early stage of cooperation with customers, Greateagle Safety usually assists customers in building a three-stage education mechanism of "on-site training + regular refresher training + simulation drills". Through modular teaching and situational demonstrations, workers can quickly master how to correctly wear safety helmets, safety belts, protective glasses, noise-proof earmuffs and other equipment, and understand their functional principles and risk prevention effects in specific types of work.
In overseas projects, Greateagle Safety pays more attention to localized communication methods, combining regional languages, cultures and religious customs, and outputs multilingual illustrated safety manuals and digital training content, which greatly improves the compliance rate of wearing.
Supervision and feedback mechanism: forming a closed-loop control
No matter how excellent the products and training are, it is difficult to achieve results without a continuous supervision and improvement mechanism. In view of the actual complexity of the construction site, Greateagle Safety advocates the construction of a three-tier safety wear supervision system:
On-site self-inspection mechanism: Through a customized construction safety equipment inspection checklist, the team leader will check the employees' wear status every day.
Third-party inspection service: Greateagle Safety can provide customers with regular PPE wear compliance inspection services to promptly discover irregular behaviors and equipment aging problems.
Pre-use inspection: Compliance, completeness, and adaptation are the basis
Before it is officially put into use, construction safety equipment must undergo strict compliance review and site applicability confirmation:
Certification inspection: The equipment must comply with national or international standards, such as CE, ANSI, ISO or GB certification. The personal protection products provided by Greateagle Safety have passed multiple international quality system certifications to ensure that the products meet the requirements of export and project use.
Appearance integrity: Checking whether the helmet has cracks, whether the safety belt is worn, whether the reflective clothing is faded, whether the goggles are clear, etc. are basic actions before starting work every day.
Use adaptation: Different levels of equipment are required for different working environments. For example, full-body safety belts and buffer devices must be used for aerial work, and electrical construction workers must wear insulating gloves and arc-proof masks.
Greateagle Safety advocates the establishment of standardized PPE distribution and inspection processes in every engineering project to ensure that every worker uses the "right person, right equipment, and right method."
On-site use: wearing standards, continuous wearing, and environmental adaptation
Even if the equipment is complete, if it is not worn in a standardized manner, its safety effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore:
Wearing standards: Safety helmets must be worn correctly, not loose, reversed, or replaced with other hats; safety belts must be hung on structural anchors and must not be untied during use.
Continuous wearing: During work in high-risk areas, protective equipment must not be taken off without authorization. Greateagle Safety has set up intelligent monitoring points with customers in multiple construction site projects in Saudi Arabia, combined with RFID identification equipment to monitor the wearing status, and effectively improve the on-site compliance rate.
Responding to environmental changes: In hot, cold, humid or dusty environments, safety equipment of suitable materials should be used. In recent years, Greateagle Safety has invested a lot of resources in the research and development of new materials, such as the development of new products such as helmets with nano-insulation function and anti-fog and anti-scratch goggles to improve the environmental adaptability of equipment.
Maintenance management: regular inspection and replacement mechanism is the key
Construction safety equipment is not a disposable product, but it is by no means "permanently durable". Establishing a clear maintenance and replacement mechanism is the basis for ensuring the continuity of safety:
Service life control: For example, it is recommended that the helmet be used for no more than 3 years, and the safety rope and safety belt need to be replaced regularly depending on the frequency. Greateagle Safety provides products with production batch tracking codes to facilitate enterprises to manage the equipment life cycle.
Pollution and damage handling: Once it is found that the equipment is affected by oil, chemicals or physical impact, it should be replaced immediately and should not be used "just for the sake of it".
Unified storage management: Protective equipment should be stored at a fixed point and uniformly numbered to avoid early aging due to improper storage.
Greateagle Safety provides complete equipment management support documents and training services to help customers establish on-site equipment ledgers, maintenance records and replacement plans.
