Honeywell PPE Selection Guide for Turnarounds Season

SAFETY INSTRUCTION

Safety in the oil and gas industry is mission-critical, especially during turnarounds, when the number of workers on-site increases significantly. There’s also the added pressure to return plants to operation as quickly as possible, knowing a single hour of downtime can have a major impact on the bottom line. Turnaround changes put an even greater responsibility on safety managers to create a safe environment for their workers

Oil and gas turnarounds present many hazards when workers are repairing broken equipment, draining pipes, cleaning tanks, hydro blasting and welding metals together. Workers need personal protective equipment (PPE) they can trust to help keep them safe

At Honeywell, safety is in our DNA. As environments change and new worker needs emerge, Honeywell continues to innovate for a safer future. We are driven to create solutions that increase productivity, instead of getting in the way.

We offer fall protection with ergonomic design, respiratory solutions that go beyond compliance and color-coded hand protection for easy selection. We also provide personalized hearing solutions, adjustable face and head protection, safety eyewear with advanced lens coatings and comfortable foot protection. In case of an emergency, we offer first aid kits and emergency eyewash stations designed  for any job site. We also manufacture a full range of easy to use gas leak and flame detection products to alert your team of invisible hazardous gas in the air.

Not all PPE is created equal. In this Product Selection Guide, our industry experts have highlighted the solutions and products that are ideal for turnaround environments, specific features and the most popular items with safety managers and workers alike.

FALL PROTECTION

During a turnaround, workers need to be equipped with comfortable fall protection when repairing structures at height or building new platforms. Whether you need a leading edge or cross-arm harness, Honeywell’s cutting- edge, ergonomic fall protection products deliver the comfort and safety needed when working at height for hours at a time.

• Leading edge units can withstand sharp edges with strong materials
• Cross-arm straps give workers the ability to connect to support when permanent anchorage is not an option

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Honeywell’s respiratory protection solutions can help protect against the risk of exposure to toxic gases and chemicals during turnarounds. In more dangerous environments like this, a full facepiece respirator can help protect you from face splashes as well as respiratory hazards, while an escape respirator can help protect workers in the event of an emergency.

HAND PROTECTION

When workers are fitting pipes, welding metals or moving materials around in laydown yards, they need high-performance hand protection that helps reduces the risk of hand and arm injuries – especially from “pinch points” and cuts or lacerations. Choose from our impressive range of mechanical safety gloves and cut-resistant sleeves, including color coded options that identify different cut protection levels to make glove selection easier.

HEARING PROTECTION

Conserving your workers’ hearing means protecting a vital component of their daily life. Noise around 85 decibels (dBA) can damage workers’ hearing after repeated exposures lasting 8 hours or more. When noise reaches 95 dBA, it can put their hearing at risk in less than an hour. Because every worker is unique, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.
