Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61/705,984, filed Sep. 26, 2012, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- In various industries and job tasks, such as the construction and medical fields, certain equipment is necessary, essential, and required for a worker to conduct the appropriate task safely. If the worker does not perform the task with the appropriate safety equipment, the worker risks injury to self, others, equipment or other facility resources and may break certain rules established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that protect the worker and those around them from injury. Not only does the worker not having the appropriate safety equipment increase the risk of injury to the worker, but also increases the liability to the employer. Many times the necessary safety equipment is lost, misplaced, or damaged. Thus, many workers arrive at a work-site unprepared.
- To this end, a need exists for providing a safety kit which functions to provide the appropriate and necessary safety equipment to a worker at a work-site. It is to such a safety equipment kit that the present invention is directed.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a safety equipment kit constructed in accordance with the inventive concepts disclosed herein. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of another embodiment of a ring member. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment of an eye wash holder. - Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to
