Heat workplaces – for example in the steel and aluminum industry, in foundries and at heat treatment plants – require individual solutions, because each workplace poses different challenges for personal protective equipment (PPE). In daily practice, safety professionals in this field have to comply with a large number of complex regulations and laws.

With “Heat Protection Compact”, Jutec provides its customers with a package of concrete measures that are individually tailored to the respective workplace. It includes an action plan covering all steps from the analysis of the situation at the respective workplace to certification in accordance with the PPE Protection Ordinance.

Jutec’s experts accompany the selection process in five steps:

1. analysis of the actual state on site
2. assessment of risk and hazard, which is obligatory for every project
3. recommendations for the selection of suitable and approved fabrics as well as the entire protective clothing with regard to safety and wearing comfort
4. proof of safety – among other things with a pour-over test with liquid metal
5. certification of the heat protection solution used with the Jutec seal, which confirms that all rules and regulations have been complied with.

Stephan Muscheites, the sales manager at Jutec, knows the situation of the practitioners: “We know that safety professionals are constantly confronted with new directives from different areas. And heat workplaces are only a small part of this. That’s why we developed “Heat Protection Compact”: With a structured process and the final certification, our customers are sure that the PPE regulation for heat-exposed work is complied with and that employees work safely on site.”
