With the new “HITZESCHUTZ kompakt” package, the company is giving safety professionals a tool with which they can provide maximum safety for their colleagues at workplaces exposed to heat. The concept, which is unique in the industry, combines a detailed analysis of the current situation with concrete recommendations for individual personal protective equipment.

Hot workplaces – for example in the aluminium industries – 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 “HITZESCHUTZ kompakt”, JUTEC provides its customers with a package of concrete measures that are individually tailored to each workplace. It includes an action plan that covers 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 situation on site.
2. assessment of the risk and hazard, which is mandatory for each project
3. recommendations for the selection of suitable and approved fabrics as well as all protective clothing with regard to safety and comfort
4. proof of safety – including a pour-over test with molten aluminium
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, 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 is why we have developed “HITZESCHUTZ kompakt”: 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.”
