First aid solutions built for harsh industrial realities- Plum Safety

Few industries place higher demands on safety equipment than mining. Every day, workers are exposed to a unique combination of physical, chemical, and environmental risks – from handling hazardous substances to navigating dusty, high-risk areas deep underground. In these conditions, reliable and effective first aid solutions are not just a precaution, but a critical part of daily operations. Plum Safety focuses on developing first aid solutions that meet the realities of heavy industries – and few sectors exemplify those challenges better than mining.

Chemical accidents need a specialized solution

Among the many risks present in mining operations, chemical accidents remain a serious concern. Cleaning agents, processing chemicals, and maintenance fluids are part of the daily workflow, and even minor splashes can lead to significant skin injuries if not treated immediately. This is where Plum BodyNeutrAll makes a critical difference. Plum BodyNeutrAll is a neutralising solution capable of counteracting both acids and alkalis directly on the skin or clothing. Unlike simple rinsing with water, which only dilutes harmful substances, Plum BodyNeutrAll actively neutralises them, limiting damage and reducing the risk of further injury.

The design of our products reflects the environments in which they are used. Whether mounted in key areas around a site or carried by individual workers, Plum BodyNeutrAll offers fast and reliable treatment when seconds matter most. Its practical packaging and intuitive application make it possible for employees to respond immediately to accidents, even in challenging and remote locations where professional medical assistance may not be close at hand.

Do you prioritize eye safety?

Chemicals are only part of the picture. In mining, constant exposure to dust, dirt, and airborne particles poses a continuous risk to eye safety. Irritation, minor injuries, or more serious incidents involving hazardous substances require immediate attention to prevent long-term damage. To meet this need, Plum Safety has developed a comprehensive eyewash range designed to handle both everyday discomfort and chemical emergencies.

Plum Eyewash products combine ease of use with effective treatment. The 0.9% sodium chloride solution is ideal for rinsing out dust and debris, providing quick relief from irritation, while the pH neutral eyewash addresses chemical accidents by neutralising acids and alkalis on contact. Both variants are packaged in ergonomically designed bottles, enabling swift, one-handed operation, even in situations where visibility and precision may be limited.

Simple yet effective solutions within first aid

What makes Plum Safety’s solutions particularly well-suited for industries like mining is their reliability and simplicity. Equipment and processes in such environments must work without fail, often in less-than-ideal circumstances. Plum Safety first aid products are built with that reality in mind: Robust, intuitive, and always ready for use. This ensures that when an incident occurs, workers have immediate access to the tools they need to protect themselves and their colleagues.

For safety managers and operational leaders, implementing effective first aid measures is about more than compliance. It is about creating a culture where safety is visible, accessible, and integrated into daily routines. By providing high-performance solutions like Plum BodyNeutrAll and Plum Eyewash, safety becomes part of the workflow – not an afterthought.

At Plum Safety, the ambition is to deliver solutions that make a difference in demanding industries. Knowledge of the risks the customers face and work with every day to provide first aid solutions that meet those challenges head-on.

Plum Safety develops solutions designed to make a difference in demanding industries. With a clear understanding of the risks workers face in their daily tasks, Plum Safety focuses on creating first aid products that meet these challenges directly and effectively.

Because in environments where every second counts, the right first aid solution is not just helpful – it is essential.
