Here is our guide to the fundamental safety supplies vital for every workplace.

 

First Aid Kits and Sharps Containers: A Must-Have in Every Workplace

In the unpredictable moments when accidents strike, having a First Aid kit within reach is crucial. It’s your first line of defence against injuries, offering quick responses that could really make a difference. Be equipped with our versatile All Purpose First Aid Kit for office readiness or our Vehicle First Aid Kit, designed to safeguard your fleet on the go.   

Have you considered, including a Sharps Container in your safety arsenal? It is crucial for safely getting rid of needles and sharp objects, helping you manage injuries and stick to safety standards properly. Our lockable steel sharps container offers extra security, helping to prevent unauthorized access and reducing the risk of accidental injuries or needle-stick hazards.

 

 

General Purpose Spill Kits: Preparedness for Every Situation

Spills, whether they’re chemical, oil, or water, are a significant risk in any workplace. Having a General Purpose Spill Kit on hand is vital for quickly dealing with spills, cutting down risks, and keeping everyone safe.

The Dry-Up 20kg Bag is super handy for spill management, with its top-notch absorbency that handles everything from oils to coolants, making it a go-to for keeping spills in check. For more extensive spill situations, the Spill Kit 120L General Purpose is equipped to deal with greater volumes, ensuring that even substantial spills can be quickly and effectively managed.

The Spill Kit 20-40L General Purpose is indispensable for teams on the move. Its compact size fits effortlessly in vehicle compartments, ready to tackle small to medium spills.

 

Integrating Protective Wear into Workplace Safety

Effective safety in the workplace begins with the proper protective gear. Our range of safety wear, like the ProChoice Vented Hard Hat in yellow, white, green, blue, orange, and red, offers superior head protection and keeps you cool and comfortable for hours on end. When it comes to protecting your face, our Clear Face Shield offers complete coverage from flying debris and splashes.

Hearing protection is just as crucial, and the Viper Class 5 Earmuffs, with their 26dB rating, offer solid noise reduction, keeping your ears safe from harmful sound levels. For tasks that demand precise handling, the Arax Cut Resistant Sleeve provides vital protection for your arms while maintaining dexterity.

 

Knowing just how important it is to stay visible during rainy conditions, the ProChoice Hi-Vis Lightweight Rain Set helps keep workers dry and easy to spot, even in bad weather, ensuring their safety and comfort.

 

Breathing Easy: Respiratory Gear Essentials

Ensuring clean air in the workplace is critical for health and safety. Our selection of respiratory gear is made to give solid protection against airborne particles and nasty substances. The P1 Mask No Valve PC301 filters out basic particles in safer spots and comes in an easy-to-manage box of 20. For extra safety, especially where there are strong smells or dangerous gases, check out our Premium Charcoal Filter Mask with Valve PC823. Available in a box of 12, it has a charcoal layer to block out bad smells and a valve to make breathing easier. For those requiring a more durable solution, the Half Mask Twin Filter HMTPM offers a reusable option with twin filters for superior protection, adaptability, and comfort.

Prioritizing Sun Safety in the Workplace

Protecting against the sun in outdoor work settings is vital for employee health. Our extensive range of sun safety products is designed to shield workers from the damaging effects of UV rays. The ProBlock 50+ Sunscreen, available in a 1-litre pump bottle, provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, ensuring effective sun safety during outdoor activities. Additionally, the Deb 1L Sunscreen Dispenser offers a convenient and hygienic solution for sunscreen application, promoting its regular use among employees.

For head and eye protection, our ProChoice Straw Hat with a wide brim provides excellent sun coverage. At the same time, the SunBrim with NeckFlap in navy is specifically designed to fit over hard hats for comprehensive face and neck protection. To safeguard the eyes, our Safety Glasses with Tsunami Smoke Lens reduce glare and protect against UV radiation, making them ideal for bright, sunny conditions.
