Dinamark – Garden Protective Equipment
If you’re working in the garden protective equipment is a must.
Your garden is probably one of then great delights in your life. As human beings we turn to nature for solace and comfort or just to unwind after a long and trying day at work. When that nature is literally in our back gardens then it becomes even easier to appreciate what nature can offer us. But when we’re in charge, as we are in our own gardens then we become custodians not only of the individual plants and of the beauty that nurtures us. One of the ways we keep our gardens tidy and pleasing to the eye is to use a variety of garden tools, often powered by petrol, diesel or electricity. The nature of these garden tools is that they often have blades or moving parts used for cutting and trimming. This makes them both highly efficient and extremely dangerous. For this reason when working in the garden protective equipment can prevent serious injury. When working in the garden protective equipment such as goggles should be worn, this is especially true when the gardener is operating machinery such as hedge trimmers or weed eaters and verge trimmers which can very easily cause debris to fly up into the face of the operator in the garden protective equipment such as gloves and stout boots should always be worn. In the case of gloves hand protection is always a good idea due to the fact that many plants in South Africa have extremely sharp thorns and spines and some are even poisonous. Stout footwear is useful not only as protection against sharp objects on the ground but against snake bite as well.
The South African natural environment is full of hazards that can cause a careless gardener harm. Aside from snakes and dangerous flora there are a variety of fauna that can cause extensive damage. Blister beetles, venomous spiders and biting ants are all hazards that make the wearing of protective clothing an absolute necessity.
In addition to clothing when gardening protective equipment should also include a handy bottle of sunscreen lotion as well as insect repellant and antihistamine lotion in case of insect bites. Be safe, not sorry.
