INDUSTRIAL
CHANNEL

The industrial manufacturing sector remains a pillar of America’s economic strength. With nearly 12 million people assembling, crafting and refining all types of goods and raw materials, it is just not possible to engineer out all the risks. PIP is there with personal safety equipment that is designed to be the last line of defense.

Improving Safety with PIP Products

PPE THAT SAVES LIVES

Over the years, the advancement in the use of mechanical equipment, along with stricter regulatory compliance, has helped to prevent accidents and reduce injuries. However, the fact remains that construction is amongst the highest risk industries to work in. Nearly 12% of worker fatalities involve construction workers, an alarming 14 deaths per week. Around 4.2 injuries have been reported per every 100 workers, with an average cost per claim around $38,000. This negatively affects our economy, but more importantly is a significant financial burden, on top of the physical pain and suffering, that extends to families and loved ones.

That is why PIP has invested in developing products that meet and surpass industry standards. We believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The peak of cut protection

NEXT GENERATION. MAXIMUM PROTECTION.

PolyKor® Xrystal® is an engineered yarn that represents the next generation in maximum cut protection and comfort. It is a blend of high-modulus polyethylene and mineral-based fibers. These mineral-based fibers have a similar chemical composition to glass, but are inherently better in terms of strength and oxidation resistance as well as compression and shear.

Be Seen, Be Safe

Construction jobs are not limited to the daytime, and it is essential to be easily seen in all light conditions. PIP has been a leader in ubiquitous adoption of Hi-Vis garments for all applications where workers are at risk. It's no longer just for road workers. For prudence, even mandating Hi-Vis T-shirts as a standard is an extra ounce of prevention. PIP has it all.
