Keep yourself safe!

 Ear Plugs  Steel-toes  Safety glasses

Protect your ears from permanent damage!

 Noise-induced hearing loss occurs from long-term exposure to high-intensity sound.  Hearing loss is permanent, but preventable! Wear this now… Wear this later. OR It’s really pretty simple…

 Memory Foam -When compressed and put into the ear, they expand to plug the ear canal.  Silicone -Molded over the external portion of the ear canal, providing a snug custom fit.  Flanged -Solid earplugs that are often custom-made for the wearer’s ear.

 When in the Folding, Jet Press, and Shipping areas at Colortree, or in the press area at GI, you must use hearing protection.  Failure to do so is a safety violation!

Keep your feet safe from injury!

 Impact injuries Heavy objects can fall or be dropped on the foot.  Compression injuries Caused when something heavy rolls over the foot.  Slipping Slippery surfaces can cause one to lose their balance and fall.  Puncture injuries Sharp objects can sometimes puncture the foot.

Thick soles protect against punctures Steel toe caps protect your feet from compression and impact injuries Treads protect against slipping

Steel-toes should be worn whenever impact or compression injuries are a risk factor, such as…  Carrying heavy objects  Working around pallet jacks  Moving paper rolls

Protect your eyes from permanent damage!

 Objects striking the eye Flying debris can shoot into the eye.  Contact with chemicals/other hazards This is not always direct contact, but also contact with fumes.  Being struck with large/falling objects An unexpected falling object can strike the eye.  Viewing radiant energy sources Lasers will damage the eye if viewed directly.

 Safety glasses are made from shatter- resistant material to protect the eye.  Even if you wear glasses, you still need more protection – there is safety eyewear designed to fit over normal glasses.  Eye damage is often permanent – protect yourself!

 At Colortree/GI, we use protective eyewear when dealing with chemicals or blowing off equipment.  If you get chemicals in your eye, look for an eyewash station – they are located in hazard areas.
