Discover Our Top PPE Products for Workers and Contractors in the Maritime Industry

PPE for Maritime Industry is integral in keeping the Australian Maritime Industry globally afloat, a sector crucial to our island nation. This broad sector employs thousands of workers who operate Australia’s shipping networks, ports, offshore rigs, tourism vessels, research vessels and facilities, fishing and aquaculture industries, emergency rescue services, and more. 

The demanding environments of the Maritime sector mean that PPE usage and hazard reduction in the workplace are daily concerns for everyone from deckhands to engineers and superintendents. Maritime PPE must be reliable, appropriately fitted, and well-made to protect workers, contractors, and apprentices. Here are our best VISIONSafe PPE items for the Maritime Industry.

The Convenience of Uncorded Foam Ear Plugs in the Maritime Industry

Hearing loss is an extremely dangerous hazard in the Maritime Industry due to the high noise levels on ships, offshore rigs, and ports. Workers in these environments are often subjected to constant background noise from machinery and sudden bursts of sound from equipment or routine operations. Given this level of exposure, it is no surprise that hearing damage is such a serious issue for those who work in Maritime.

Appropriately fitted hearing PPE for use in loud areas ensures workers can continue performing their vital roles without risking their hearing. Considering that workers in the Maritime Industry may have to work in tight spaces where earmuffs may feel cumbersome, the best solution to reduce the risk of accidental noise exposure is to provide high-quality Foam Earplugs as an in-ear protection option.

Our VISIONSafe Uncorded Foam Earplugs offer class 5 hearing protection and come in individually packaged pairs. These plugs provide grab-and-go convenience and the comfort of fitted foam technology for Maritime Industry workers.

Stainless Steel Cylinder Restraints for Stowage in Maritime Industry Settings

Whether cylinders are stowed on board a vessel or stored in shipyards and workshops, they must be secured safely and correctly. Cylinders used in maritime workplaces range in size and shape depending on use, and may include gas cylinders, oxygen tanks, fire extinguishers, and large drums. 

In the Maritime Industry, most cylinders must be secured vertically with wall brackets in a well-ventilated area and strictly spaced according to their contents. The complexity of safe cylinder stowage requires a high-quality restraint system, which can span multiple areas of the vessel or shipyard. The Bottlechock Cylinder Restraint system is the perfect solution. 

Bottlechock restraints are made from water-resistant and corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ideal for use in maritime environments. Bottlechock Restraints grip each cylinder with complete contact to prevent horizontal or vertical movement. 

Workers can snap cylinders into place with Bottlechock’s flexible pinch design, access valves as needed, and remove elevated cylinders easily – making lifting easier and safer. The Bottlechock Cylinder Restraint system is customisable, easy to install, and ensures safe stowage of cylinders in the workplace.
