Don’t Ignore! These Are the Mandatory Equipment When Installing Solar Panels

Solar panel installation is a job that requires compliance with safety standards. Including when installing on a rooftop or ground mounted. This installation process involves working at heights and requires special attention to avoid the risk of accidents. To ensure safety, every worker must be equipped with adequate safety equipment. The use of appropriate equipment not only protects workers from potential hazards, but also ensures that the installation of solar panels is carried out with optimal quality.

In order to achieve these goals, here is the mandatory equipment that must be used by every worker when installing solar panels:

1. Safety Helmet

Safety Helmet is the main protection for the head when working on a solar panel installation project. This helmet must be used to protect workers from the risk of shapes, falling objects, or other hazards that may occur in the work area.

2. Safety Glasse

When installing solar panels, workers are susceptible to dust, debris or splashes of material that can hit the eyes. Therefore, eye protection is a mandatory PPE to use.

3. Safety Gloves

Safety Gloves protect workers from physical hazards such as sharp objects, heat or chemicals during the installation of solar panels. Various types of gloves are chosen according to the type of work, thick gloves are needed to protect against sharp objects, while insulating gloves must be used in work that protects against electric shock.

4. Safety Shoes

Special shoes are used to protect the feet from sharp objects that can fall during the installation process. The use can help prevent foot injuries and ensure comfort during work, protecting the feet from sharp objects, slipping, and electric currents.

5. Wearpack 

Protective clothing designed to protect the entire body from mechanical risks. The form is a jumpsuit (overalls) designed for worker comfort and mobility. Equipped with pockets so that it is easy to carry important tools or equipment while working.

The use of complete and standard PPE is very important to keep workers safe during the installation of solar panels. Starting from helmets, gloves, to protective shoes.

By complying with safety protocols, the risk of accidents can be minimized and project productivity maintained. Occupational safety must always be the top priority in every stage of the project, for the success and welfare of all workers. Because Safety Is SEI Priority!
