This area housed the prevention area, compri- sing the territory of Ergonomics, the CPE (Collective Protection Equipment), the offer in Training / Audit / Risk Analysis,Traffic Safety, Handling, etc.., as well as the Protec- tion zone, showing the supply of PPE. Fi- nally, the WorkWear area congregated companies of working clothing or corpo- rate image. This sock has got four bands of polymer that prevent rubbing of the foot inside the shoe. It also avoids the friction of the bot- tom front of the foot with a rigid midsole. The polymer is embedded in the loop or corkscrew of the sock and provides direct protection between the feet and the safety footwear, preventing not only the feet pain, but also the hurting of legs and the back, which is caused by hard shoes or floors. ·Workwear Sector (working clothes) -Chemical protective Tyvek® Classic Xper t overall Jury Special Mention, features the OSID technology, an innovation that facilitates the early detection of smoke.This technology overcomes the limitations of traditional de- tectors with single infrared beam, by the in- novative use of two light frequencies (UV and IR), which allow to discriminate bet- ween real smoke and other distorting fac- tors that cause false alarms (insects, birds, condensation, dust or light reflections). Expoprotection awards Designed for protection against chemicals in industrial environments, this latest in- novation from DuPont is a type 5 and 6 overall which guarantees a high level of protection and comfor t. With its totally renewed design and the patented tech- nology of the seams, it ensures the user greater protection against liquids (3 times more) and against par ticles, blocking over 99% of them, according to the test for the type 5 based on sodium chloride. Ro- bust, abrasion resistant, air and moisture permeable, the new Tyvek Classic Xpert overall optimizes breathability and user comfort offering maximum protection from harmful substances.
