Choosing the Best Construction Safety Products Isn’t as Easy as You May Think
At Grove Hardware, we’re aware of the wide array of equipment, accessories, tools, and safety gear the average job site requires. That’s why we stock a huge selection of all the best brands on the market. It’s also why we employ associates who are more than salespeople – they’re experts in their field and can help you select the right products for your individual needs.
We stand behind everything we sell in our conveniently located hardware store but we’re especially careful when selecting the safety equipment we offer at our store. The concern is that some job site managers will worry more about the bottom line than properly outfitting their crew with the right safety gear.
It’s cheaper to buy safety gear than to suffer an accident on the job site
Of course, if you want to have a successful construction project you must rein in spending as much as is reasonably possible. However, if an accident occurs as the result of not making a relatively small investment into safety gear that could have prevented that accident, or if an accident is more serious because the person involved didn’t have the gear to keep them safe, then it’s easy to see that the investment into safety gear would have been a lot cheaper in the long run.
Not only does an accident open up the job site to lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims, but it means having to shut the job site down while the accident is cleaned up and the nature of the injuries are assessed. This can further push deadlines back – which can lead to a host of other problems. In short, it’s not worth it to skimp on safety equipment.
Not sure what equipment you need? We can help
At Grove Hardware, you’ll find a wide range of safety equipment available. Our selection includes hard hats, lighting products, eye protection, safety signs, first aid kits, respirators, safety cones, vests, hearing protection, flashlights, face shields, batteries, electrical products, work gloves, hydration products, and much more.
If you’re not sure exactly what’s needed for a specific project you’re working on, feel free to talk to one of the experienced job site consultants at Grove Hardware. It’s also wise to talk to your crew. If you’re in the middle of a project, just pull aside a few of your most trusted workers and ask them what safety equipment would make them feel more secure on the job.
No two jobs are identical
Most construction managers understand that safety is important and many of them feel as though they’d never skimp on safety equipment. That said, it’s common to find managers who invested in the right equipment for the first job they managed and then continued to use that equipment for all jobs that came after it.
The truth of course is that the construction supplies needed for one job won’t be exactly the supplies needed for another job. The same is true of safety equipment. Don’t assume that what you have is good enough – assess each job and then come to Grove Hardware to find the tools to make your job site safer.
