Industrial Coveralls
Every year, hundreds of industrial workers die or suffer injuries from a whole range of occupational hazards, from asbestos contamination to hazards from moving traffic. One of the things employers can do to reduce these incidences is buying high quality safety overalls, also called coveralls, to ensure maximum protection for exposed employees.
The quality of manufacturing and distributing of printable clothing was like no other on the market at the time. Hanes had found a gap in the market and run with it. Soon after, the brand decided that in order to maintain the niche market growth, they would have to make themselves stand out even further. This is when the additions of Fleece and Sport shirts were launched, giving the manufacturer further growth and market opportunity.
If you are an industrial worker checking on the safety of your overalls and other employer- dictated practices related to the same, you can use the following tips:
Suitability of Design
One of the most important things you must look into is the suitability of your overalls' design. If you work in an environment where fire accidents are highly probable, for instance, the garment must be made of flame-resistant fabric and free of wrist or leg turn-ups to prevent it rom catching sparks. If you work with harmful chemicals such as lead, your employer must provide specialty laundering services to make sure they come completely clean for your next use. It is important that coveralls used in chemically hazardous environments are cleaned by professionals to prevent contamination when these garments are brought home.
As customers demands became more and more influenced by image and perception the company moved to secure the sponsorship of Basketball star Michael Jordan in 1989. Further product advertising followed with support for the American Olympic team at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. This included production of limited edition t-shirts to represent the 500 days leading up to the opening ceremony of this huge world event. The number one T shirt was auctioned off raising $32.500 to help the funding of Olympic tickets for underprivileged children.
Separation of Used and Unused Overalls
To ensure that clean overalls are kept clean, it is important that your employer provide a place where you can keep them but not let them touch the soiled ones. This is important for obvious reasons. You're not really being protected when you put clean and soiled together, even when you are provided specialty laundering services. Once these garments are in contact with each other, you can be sure that the newly washed coveralls will not be as safe as you need them to be. Although providing two separate lockers per worker is not required, it is overall protection you are entitled to, considering how serious exposure to chemicals can be.
Major competitors include Fruit of the Loom and Jockey International. As with many large corporate clothing and workwear organisations, price pressures have seen the company move production to developing economies, resulting in allegations of poor working conditions and pay structures. The infamous wikileaks period of 2011 saw disclosure of attempts to lobby the Haiti government to maintain minimum wages at $0.31 an hour. Many business groups argue it is impossible for western companies to avoid the negative perception of such business decisions.
Provision of Coveralls
It is important for you to know that employers are required by law to provide the right protective clothing to their workers. Therefore, if you are being asked to provide your own coveralls, that is a violation. Employers are also not allowed to give workers extra pay for getting their own protective clothing, although employees may suggest using overalls of their choice, provided that the garments provide the required level of protection. Also, under the law, by no means are employers permitted to require job applicants to provide for their own protective clothing as a condition for getting hired.
In response to this sensitive issue the Hanes group of companies made a commitment to ethical trading with the forming of a corporate social responsibility pledge. This includes social and environmental responsibility with significant reductions in carbon emissions and improved work conditions. In particular the firm's support of schools in Honduras has come in for praise. By 2010 the aim of 30% of energy consumption by the Hanes group coming from renewable facilities was achieved. This approach has helped counter the negative perception of investment in developing economies, as ethical practises continue to fall under the spotlight.
The safety of industrial workers is a huge concern for the government that employers are actually required by law to state their policies on providing overalls, including other protective gear such as a safety vest, harness, etc., in their employment contracts. If you think that your safety is compromised at work due to substandard protective garments or equipment you are provided with, do explore your options to correct your situation.
