Risk

Seal leakage with full-face masks

When spray painting, respiratory protection with a full-face mask is often mandatory. This is a problem for those who wear glasses, as standard frames do not fit inside the mask and the temples break the seal.

Solution

What Do Laws and Regulations Say?

wet- en regelgeving
Working Conditions Act Article 3

Under Article 3 of the Working Conditions Act, employers are required to protect employees against risks to their eyes and hearing. In a woodworking company involving sawing, wood dust, and machinery noise, this duty is significant.

wet- en regelgeving
Risk assessment and evaluation (RI&E)

In your risk assessment and evaluation (RI&E), you determine the necessary protection for each role and workstation. A machine operator is subject to different requirements than a drafter.

europese wet- en regelgeving
European standards

Eye protection falls under EN ISO 16321-1 and custom-molded earplugs fall under EN 352-2. Only certified products qualify as protective equipment.

FAQ for the Woodworking Sector

Which eye and hearing protection is mandatory in the sawing department?

That is determined by your risk assessment (RI&E) for each role and workstation. For flying splinters and wood dust, eye protection according to EN ISO 16321-1 is the standard, while hearing protection is mandatory for noise levels above the limit. A machine operator at a saw therefore requires different protection than a designer at a desk. We are happy to help you translate your risk assessment into a concrete policy for each role.

Can employees who wear glasses use a full-face mask for spray painting?

Not with regular glasses, as the temples break the mask's seal. The solution is a prescription mask insert, a frame that fits inside the mask without compromising the seal. Our mask inserts are compatible with full-face masks from brands like MSA and Dräger, while maintaining the mask's safety certification.

Do colleagues and warning signals remain audible with custom-molded earplugs?

Yes, custom-molded earplugs provide selective attenuation. The filters are tuned to the noise levels of your sawing department, reducing harmful noise while keeping speech and warning signals audible. This makes them safer than universal earplugs, which often provide either too much or too little attenuation.

Are the safety glasses resistant to fine wood dust?

Yes. Our lenses are lightweight, impact-resistant, and feature coatings that prevent scratches and smudges. This ensures that our safety glasses remain clear, even with intensive daily use in dusty environments. All safety glasses are certified according to EN ISO 16321-1 and carry the CE mark.

How do I keep track of orders for the shop floor and the design office?

They can have their protective gear fitted at one of our 400+ Hans Anders stores and pick it up there, with no out-of-pocket expenses.
