Much is said about the importance, obligation and necessity of Personal Protective Equipment in the work environment, but little is said about its brands and how they affect you, the worker.

The proper choice of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to ensure the safety and protection of users in different work environments. Among the factors to consider, the brand of PPE plays a significant role in the quality and effectiveness of the equipment.
The brand of an PPE, both good and bad, can influence the protection of a user in several ways, for example: professional footwear that does not comply with NBR 14835 (Weight of footwear) can make the user uncomfortable, which favors the risk of accidents.
WHAT A GOOD BRAND SHOULD PROVIDE?
1.Product Quality: Committed brands are committed to the quality and excellence of their products. They invest in research, testing and material development to provide reliable and durable PPE.
2. Compliance with safety standards: Strictly complying with safety standards and regulations established by public bodies is part of the basic requirements of a trusted brand. This means that their PPE has undergone rigorous testing and has been found to be adequate to provide the user with the necessary protection.
3. Technology and innovation: choose brands that invest in research and development to introduce innovative technologies in their PPE. This can include advanced materials, ergonomic designs and additional safety features.
4. Technical support and user assistance: offering good technical support and user assistance is a differential of a good manufacturer. Reputable brands provide clear information on the proper use of PPE, training and are available to answer questions and provide guidance.
5. Market Reputation: A brand's reputation is built over time based on customer satisfaction and the reliability of its products. Well-structured brands are often recognized by the market and industry as suppliers of quality PPE. Opting for them can bring peace of mind to the user, knowing that he is choosing a reliable and effective product.
