cover me, i'm going in!

​Being ready has never been more serious business in than in 2D jobs (Dirty & Dangerous). From airtight standard operating procedures to permanently running around in covered from heel to head in safety gear, every day is a movie waiting to be filmed. With that much tension, no wonder those working in the firing line are forced to take 2 weeks off in a month to maintain their sanity.
​A week ago, I was fortunate enough to get some chat time with Airgas Technology, a prominent South East Asia player in safety gear. Airgas made a name for themselves by offering not just top safety equipment but were one of the pioneers to offer training and consultancy in the OSHA arena. 
​He stated that for those in the front line, it should be a standard procedure to wear a safety suit the minute their shift starts instead of putting it on when an incidence occurs. This is to reduce the time taken for the person to be ready to respond, and thereby limiting the damage caused by the incidence. 


"...The key to a safe environment is prevention but should an incidence occur, the most important is to save lives..."

​The key to a safe environment is prevention but should an incidence occur, the most important is to save lives and that is where being protected by the gear at all times is paramount. Safety gear includes masks and tanks for breathing, fire retardant or chemical protection clothing and safety shoes. In some cases, a helmet is required as well.

In some ways, cargo insurance would be akin to the safety gear protecting these everyday heroes.
​
Not to say that shipping is dangerous but there still remain risks. Health and safety measures have improved remarkably through the years but there will still be the occasional trifling crash, theft, delay or explosion.  

​Cargo insurance ranges from straightforward protection of the cargo during the journey to corporate liability policies which help you recover costs should the unavoidable happen.
