Garden work safety.
Can anyone imagine a more pleasant and welcoming place than a garden? The grass, the plants, the aroma and color of the flowers. It is, without a doubt, an environment that transmits peace and tranquility. But also that it requires a lot of care.
If you garden (either for pleasure or because it is your livelihood), you will know how difficult it is to maintain this space and the amount of work it requires. Thus, having good protective equipment is essential to ensure that there is no risk. Do you want to know what are the fundamental pieces of a gardener? We will tell you.
Main elements of protective clothing for gardening.
- Dungarees and anti-cut pants : they are made of highly resistant materials that protect the body from any possible friction with a chainsaw. They are flexible and available in various sizes.
- Anti-cut jacket : it is the essential complement for bibs and pants. They also incorporate additional protection for the arms, chest and abdomen.
- Anti-cut sleeve: it is another piece of equipment necessary to avoid cuts. Covers part of the hand, wrist and forearm. It is comfortable and manageable and must have a clamping mechanism to prevent it from moving.
- Protective glasses: eye protection involves wearing glasses that do not subtract any angle of vision and that cover the entire eye area. Ideally, they should be adjustable and fit the face perfectly. Also that they are light to avoid the sensation of fatigue and tiredness.
- Safety helmet: the simplest ones hardly protect the cranial area, but there are other much more sophisticated helmets that include a front metal mesh and hearing protection that dampens the sound that comes from the chainsaw .
- Anti-cut gloves: no matter how many tools a gardener uses, his hands will always be the most important of all. That is why it is essential to take care of them with good gloves that avoid cuts, scratches and scratches, either with the pruner, the chainsaw or with the same branches of the trees and plants.
- Boots: footwear with a shock-resistant toe, a non-slip sole and that is resistant to heat and absorbs energy. Some even incorporate a technology that dissipates electrostatic charges. It is important that they are waterproof to keep the foot dry and well cared for. For working with chainsaws, there are even specific anti-cut footwear, very suitable for these tasks.

Protective clothing: work safely in the garden
