PPE FOR THE PROFICIENT PACE OF UTILITIES
water
Because cities and towns are always moving, utilities are always moving. They generate, transmit and distribute power with speed and reliability. They treat waste and water for public health. When energy needs change, utilities change too, adapting to renewable energy sources, grid modernization and evolving customer expectations. But amid change, one thing in the transformative utility sector must be constant: worker safety. We help make sure of this with our PPE solutions for utilities.

Refineries and fossil fuels. Wind farms and turbines. Power plants and nuclear energy. No matter where or how power is produced, generation environments with heavy machinery, chemicals and energy in motion can be hazardous, placing utility workers at risk of injury or worse. From head to toe, PPE can help keep workers safe as they generate energy for everyday use.

As overhead and underground utility lines hum with power and resources that travel fast, a minor incident or malfunction can cause transmission environments to go from safe to unsafe in seconds. Help keep utility workers protected and productive with specialized PPE solutions as they install, maintain and repair critical transmission infrastructure.
Transmission

When heights, loud noises and electrical sparks are part of the job, personal protective equipment should be, too. Help prevent above-neck injuries and long-term health conditions with our effective helmets, eye protection and hearing solutions.
ELECTRICAL Gloves >
GENERAL PURPOSE GLOVES >
A firm, protective and comfortable grip on tools and infrastructure can increase worker productivity and safety during utility transmission operations. Because proximity to and work with high-voltage electricity are common during transmission, our gloves help reduce risks like shocks, burns and electrocution without compromising dexterity.
Chemicals, smoke and debris lower the air quality in transmission environments, making breathing difficult and dangerous. But with our compliant and durable respiratory solutions, utility workers can breathe cleaner air for longer. Our respiratory PPE product line includes supplied air respirators, self-contained breathing apparatus and disposable respirators.
Protective footwear can help keep transmission utility workers safe from physical hazards like slippery surfaces, static discharge and electric shock. Each boot in our Oliver product line is designed to help reduce the discomfort and fatigue that come from long shifts while meeting safety footwear regulations.
Electricity, water and gas can’t reach homes, buildings and industries without utilities. So, we help keep utility workers protected at every level — substation, network, power line and meter — to help ensure the safe and effective distribution of energy to end-users amid dangers like electrocution, debris, falling objects, flooding and more.
Distribution

HEARING >
Up high or underground, in a backyard or at a distribution center, working around utility infrastructure exposes workers to sudden hazards, especially those that affect above-neck areas and impair vision. Wearing helmets, protective eyewear and face shields can help keep workers safe when dealing with utility distribution operations.
PLACEHOLDER >
As workers maintain and repair critical distribution infrastructure, you can help keep their hands safe and dexterous with protective gloves. Every glove is engineered with advanced materials and coatings to provide maximum grip, comfort and protection from cuts, shocks or burns.
DISPOSABLE Respirators >
AIR PURIFYING Respirators >
Gas leaks, fumes, chemicals and particulate matter can turn clean, open air into a dangerous work environment in no time. Utility workers who inspect meters, excavate underground pipes or maintain overhead lines can wear respiratory PPE solutions to help deflect these hazards and mitigate their effects.
The best occupational footwear for utility workers within distribution settings is protective footwear. Our Oliver boot product line helps make every step — near hazardous resources, in slippery conditions or around electrically charged assets — a confident, comfortable one. Find your perfect fit.
Water flows in many directions. One of the most important is its path from homes, commercial spaces and industrial buildings to treatment centers, where utilities screen, filter and disinfect this finite resource to make it safe, potable and clean. As they work to remove contaminants and impurities, wearing PPE can help protect utility workers from chemical, biological and physical hazards.

safety Goggles >
Both untreated and disinfected water droplets can splash outside of filters and basins. To reduce the chance of contact with impurities and concentrated disinfectants but still maintain maximum visibility as they treat water, utility workers in this sector should wear above-neck personal protective equipment like helmets, goggles and face shields.
GENERAL PURPOSE Gloves >
CHEMICAL Gloves >
Gloves that help utility workers withstand untreated resources and harsh cleaning agents are essential in the water sector. Our protective gloves do this and more, providing cut resistance as workers handle heavy tools and sharp equipment, plus protection against glove degradation.
Supplied Air Respirators >
Gases, vapor, dust and pathogens can become airborne and build up within a water treatment facility, subjecting integral utility workers to harmful concentrations of bacteria and particulates. Help give them cleaner air and prevent respiratory distress with PPE.
Protective footwear can provide traction to prevent slips and falls on wet surfaces or uneven floors. Footwear PPE can also withstand moisture, spilled chemicals and disinfectants, shielding skin against potential irritation and keeping feet dry throughout long shifts. Find the best size, style and fit when you explore our Oliver boots.
The collection, processing, recycling and disposal of waste propel environmental and public health efforts forward. As utilities take the lead on waste management, helping minimize pollution and other negative effects, workers are often exposed to a myriad of potential hazards — loud noises, dangerous particles, chemical substances, slips and falls. Wearing PPE on the job can help keep them safe.

hearing >
Noises and biohazards and falling objects. All threaten worker safety — and exposure to each can increase the risk of long-term, adverse health conditions. But the right PPE, like durable helmets, protective eyewear and effective hearing solutions can help prevent the dangers of waste operations.
Disposable Gloves >
Because waste materials often contain sharp objects and hazardous substances, utility workers risk cuts, burns and infections if not protected properly. Our gloves help protect against all types of abrasions, tears and chemical hazards, providing consistently high protection in a perfect fit.
Airborne dangers — biological contaminants, equipment fumes, toxic gases — are especially hazardous in high concentrations often found at waste facilities and processing centers. We recommend our line of respiratory PPE solutions to help protect utility workers from harmful exposure and inhalation.
Floors may become wet with contaminated sewage or littered with sharp materials as waste moves from station to station in a treatment plant. Slip-resistant, waterproof and impact-protected work boots can help keep the potential effects of these hazardous conditions — slips, trips, falls, punctures, chemical exposure — to a minimum.
