EN 397 & ANSI Z89.1: Isiqhupha Sesikhombisa Izindlela Zokusebenza Zemihlambi Yezinkundla

Ukuvikela isikhumba kuyisimo esibalulekile kakhulu kwemihlambi yezinkundla (PPE) ematholeni, emagumbini, emaphoyinteni, nemisebenzi yezinkundla. Abasebenzi bale mizwi bafanele nesibindi esiningi, futhi kungasemthwakweni wokuhamba kwezinto, isibindi sokugcina, ukubheka kwezilwanyana, nokufa kwemisebenzi yezinkundla.

Isihlambeleshi sesafety se-industri saseyisithembiso esihle singasiza ukunciphisa ubude bokuphuma kwemibono yomhlaba ngokuthabatha amandla okuphepha futhi ukunika umkhawulo kubizo bezinye zezindawo zokusebenza. Kepha, akukho konke isihlambeleshi sesafety sisebenzisa izimfuneko ezifanayo. Izindawo eziphakathi nezindustri zingahlinzeka ngamathuluzi amabili esihlambeleshi kusukela kwezimfuneko zabo zesafety nezimo zokusebenza.

Kwamathuluzi amakhulu ase-EN 397 ne-ANSI Z89.1 abizwa ngempela kumazwe wonke uma kuselwa isihlambeleshi sokukhawula umhlaba, kuyinto eyisikhundla esikhulu.

EN 397 isebenzisa kumazwe e-Europe kusukela kwezihlambeleshi zesafety se-industri, ngakho-ke ANSI Z89.1 isebenzisa kumazwe e-North America kusukela kwezihlambeleshi zesafety se-industri. Lomabili amathuluzi asiza ukuthintana nokuphatha izindawo zokusebenza ngendlela enhle, kepha bayisebenzisa izinhlobo zeziklasi zokuhlinzeka nezindlela zokuzivocavoca.

Ukuziqonda izinguquko phakathi kwezindlela lezi zikusiza amaphoyisa ukukhetha izihlamvu ezifanele kwezindawo zokusebenza zabo ngokwesibonelo, kodwa akasivuthi izinto eziphakathi kwezinhloso noma izilabeli zokuhlanzwa.

I-EN 397 Yini?

I-EN 397 yindlela eyinkulu kwe-Europe yokuqinisekisa ukuthi izihlamvu zokuphepha kuzoba nezinkinga zokusebenza. Iyachaza izimali nezindlela zokuzimisa izihlamvu ezisebenzayo emaphoyisweni apho abasebenzi bafuna ukubona izinkinga zokubuka kwezinto zokuphepha nokubuka kwezinkinga zokugcina.

Izihlamvu zokuphepha ezizimiswa ngokwale ndlela ye-EN 397 zizimiswa ngokwemalungu okufanele asebenze ngayo, njengokuthinteka kwezinkinga zokubuka nokuthinteka kwezinkinga zokubuka kwezinto zokuphepha. Ngokwesakhiwo sezihlamvu nokuhlanzwa, izimali ezinye ezingenakho zingazimiswa futhi, njengokuthinteka kwezinkinga zokubuka kwezinkinga zokuphepha, nokuthinteka kwezinkinga zokubuka kwezinkinga zokuphepha, nokuthinteka kwezinkinga zokubuka kwezinkinga zokuphepha, nokuthinteka kwezinkinga zokubuka kwezinkinga zokuphepha.

Kusukela kubantu abasebenzisa amakhonkco, abasebenzisa izilayili, abasebenzisa izinkampani zokulungisa nokuthi abanye abasebenzi basebenzi, izikhumba ze-EN 397 zinakho ukuvikela isikhumba esingaphansi, okuyisisekelo sokuvikela isikhumba esifanele kumazwi amaningi okusebenza.

Kodwa, ukukhetha izikhumba ze-EN 397 kufanele kubasekwe kwezimo zokusebenza ngokwesibonelo. Izimo ezihlukahlukene mhlawumbi zidinga ukuvikela okungekho kahle ngokwesibonelo ngokwesithakazelo sokuvikela kusukela kwezinhlobo zezinkinga ezihlukahlukene.

Umbuzo wokuqala: Yini i-ANSI Z89.1?

I-ANSI Z89.1 yisistimu esiqondiswa kakhulu yokuvikela isikhumba emazweni eNorth America. Iyavumela izimfuneko zokusebenza nezindlela zokuhlinzeka izikhumba zokuvikela ezisebenzisa emazweni okusebenza apho abasebenzi bafanele bakwazi ukubona izinkinga zokuphuma nokuvikela kwemali.

Isici esibalulekile se-ANSI Z89.1 sibonakalisa ukuthi izikhumba zihlinzekwa ngokwesithakazelo, okuyisisho esihlinzeka izikhumba ngokwesithakazelo sokuvikela isikhumba nokuvikela imali.

Izihelime zohlobo loku-1 zizakhiwe ukuze zibophele impact forces kusuka kumasho okukhanya kwezihlangothi. Izi-helime zohlobo loku-2 zinikeza ubuchule bokukhanya kusuka kwezihlangothi nezinye izinyathelo, futhi ziyasebenza kakhulu emizinhlelo apho kunezidingo zokukhanya kwezinye izinyathelo.

Ukugcinwa kwemithambo yezilwanyana kufaka kuwo iklasi G, iklasi E, neklasi C. Izihelime zeklasi G zinikeza ubuchule bokugcinwa kwezilwanyana, izihelime zeklasi E zizakhiwe ukuzinikeza ubuchule obubi kwezilwanyana, futhi izihelime zeklasi C aziphinde zinikeze ubuchule bokugcinwa kwezilwanyana.

Le sistimu yokugcinwa kuyavumela abaphathi besigaba sokubuchule ukukhetha izihelime ngokwesibonelo sezinkinga ezisemkhakheni wabo, engakwazi ukusebenzisa indlela eyodwa kuzo zonke izimo zokusebenza.

Izinguquko ezingakanani phakathi kwe-EN 397 ne-ANSI Z89.1 Izihelime

Nakuba i-EN 397 ne-ANSI Z89.1 ziyafoka kuzo zonke kubuchule bezihlangothi, zihlukana ngokwemithambo yokuzimisa nokugcinwa kwezihlangothi.

Ukuchaza okukhulu kuyisahluko phakathi kwezindlela zokuchaza izimfuneko zokusebenza kwezihlathi. EN 397 isebenza ngokuphakeme kwezihlathi zokusebenza zokuzilungiselela izindawo zokusebenza e-Europe, ngakho-ke ANSI Z89.1 inikeza isimo sokuhlinzekwa esisepheka ukulungiswa kwezimpact nezimfuneko zokulungisa ukugcina amandla.

Izihlathi zika-ANSI Z89.1 Type II zinakho ukulungisa impact yasezansi, okuyisibonelo sokulungisa impact eminye imithambo yasezansi yezihlathi. Lokhu kubalulekile kakhulu kumaziko apho abasebenzi bafuna ukulungisa impact yasezansi noma imiphumela eminingi yezinkinga zokusebenza.

Ngoba lezi zindlela ziyadlalwa kumaziko amabili akhathalelayo, izigidi ezisebenza ngaphandle kwemizini kufanele zibheke kahle yini le ndlela eyidingekayo kumaziko akhe ayisodwa nokusebenza.

Izihlathi ezifana neyindlela enye ayikwazi ukuthi zingafanana neyindlela enye ngokuzenzakalela, kodwa kufanele kubhekwe kahle izimfuneko zokubhalwa ngokucacile.

Ukukhetha Ihlathi Lokusebenza Lokuphelele

Ukukhetha isihlamvu esihle sokuvikela kudinga ukuzilungiselela kakhulu kunokujabula ukuthi iprodukthi ithile iyaphumelela ukuphakamisa okufanele.

Isidingo sokuqala siyisimo sezindawo zokusebenza. Amaphoyisa wezokwakha, amaphoyisa okukhiqiza, amaphoyisa okuhlela amandla, nemiphoyisa yezokuproduktha kungenza izinkinga ezahlukene. Isihlamvu esisebenzisa emaphoyisa wezokwakha kungenza izidingo ezahlukene kweyona esisebenzisa ezingaphakathi kwezinto zokugcina amandla.

Ukuhlakanipha nokulungiswa kwenziwa ngokuphelele kubalulekile. Abasebenzi bakhetha isihlamvu sokuvikela ngemizuzu mingi ngosuku ngasinye. Isihlamvu esingakwazi ukulungiswa kahle, esingakwazi ukuhlakanipha kahle, noma esine ubunzima obuningi kungenza ukuthi abasebenzi bakhathazeka futhi bavalela ukusebenzisa kahle.

Isihlamvu esihle sokuvikela emiphoyisa kufanele sibone isikhundla sokuhlakanipha ngokuphelele futhi sivumela abasebenzi ukwenza izintu zabo ngokuhlakanipha.

Ukuphakanyiswa kwezinto zokusebenza kuyisibonelo esingapheliyo. Izihlangu zesikhathi sezindawo zokusebenza zinokubhekwa ngomkhosi, amandla, ukuguqula kwesilinganiso sokuchaza, nokusebenza kusuku sonke.

Ukuthi izihlangu ziyisiphi sokuqonda nokubona umsebenzi wabantu

Ukuqondisa kwezihlangu zokuphepha kuzoba kubalulekile kakhulu kusasa, kungakhathali kuphela ukuphepha kodwa futhi ukusebenza kahle.

Izihlangu zezindawo zokusebenza zaseminyakeni yasezantsi zaziqondwa ngokuphakanyiswa kokuphepha kwezinye izinhlobo. Kodwa, izindawo zokusebenza zaseminyakeni yasezantsi zinokuthatha izihlangu ezinokwenza izinhlobo ezingapheliyo, njengokuphakanyiswa kwezinye izinhlobo, ukuthi zitholakele izinkampani eziningi, ukuthi zinamandla okukhetha, nokuphakanyiswa kwezinhlobo zokusebenza kahle.

Izihlangu ezinokubona abantu bakhuluma ngazo nokusebenza kahle ziyabizwa ngokuthi ziyasebenza kahle futhi ziyasebenza ngokuphelele.

Kumazwe okuphakanyiswa kwezindawo zokusebenza, ukuthi abantu bakhuluma ngazo kuyisibonelo esibalulekile sokuphepha. Iziphakamiso zokuphepha zinokubiza ubuhle kuphela lapho abantu bavuselela kahle kusuku sonke.

Imithombo Yemibhobho Yesafuthi Nokusebenzisa Kwizindustria Zasezizwe Zonke

Izinkampani zasezizwe zinokufuna ukwazi imithombo yezimbhobho ezahlukene ngoba izinkinga zokusebenza kuzokwenzeka kuzo zonke izindawo.

Abathengi base-Europe kungabhekiswe kumithombo ye-EN 397, ngakolunye uhlangothi abathengi base-North America badinga izinto eziphambanayo ne-ANSI Z89.1. Ukukhetha okuhle kuyiphendula kwemithombo yezindawo, izinkinga zezindustria, nokuhlola kokuphatha kwemisebenzi.

Kubalulekile ukuthi abasunguli be-PPE basezizwe bazazi lezinyathelo zokuhlola ukusiza abantu abahlela izindawo ezahlukene.

Abahleli kufanele baphinde baphakamise amazwi amahle esithembiso sezinto, futhi bakhombise imithombo eyisisekelo, izigaba zokulinda, izindlela zokwenza, nokusetshenziswa kwezinto.

Ukubanga izindawo zokusebenza ezisafuthi ngezinhloso zemibhobho yesafuthi eziphambanayo

Imibhobho yesafuthi iyisiphephelo esibalulekile sokulinda izindawo zokusebenza. Kodwa, ukulinda okuhle kwezihlathi kuyiphendula kokuqonda ukuthi yini okuhle ukuthengwa kanye nokusetshenziswa.

Ukuqonda iziphakade phakathi kwe-EN 397 ne-ANSI Z89.1 kusiza amakompani ukwenza iziphakade zokuthenga okuhle futhi ukukhetha izihlamvu zokuvikela ezifanayo nezidingo zabo zokusebenza.

IBOATE isiqondiswe ekunikezela izisombululo sezinhlangano zokuvikela emisebenzini ngokuphelele kubantu bokwesizwe. Ngokuphatha izinto zokuthengiswa, umphathi wokubaluleka kwemisebenzi, nokuzinikela kuzidingo zemisebenzi, IBOATE isiza amakompani esithanda ukuthenga izihlamvu zokuvikela nezinhlangano zokuvikela eziphambili.

Isihlamvu esihle sokuvikela asiyi into eyodwa yokuvikela kuphela. Kuyinto eyodwa yezindaba zokuvikela emisebenzini eyodwa eyisiza amakompani ukuvikela abasebenzi bazo ngokuthi kubhekise kumkhawulo wokusebenza nokuthuthukisa umkhawulo wokusebenza nokuthuthukisa umkhawulo wokusebenza.
