PPE

It’s important to make sure you’re conforming to health and safety regulations, whatever trade you’re in. Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE, is vital for staying safe at work.

Buildingmaterials.co.uk stock a huge range of PPE supplies, so you can protect yourself, stay visible to others and avoid injury and accident.

We stock a variety of protective headgear. Safety helmets will protect your head, essential for all sorts of work environments. We also have a range of eye protection, from spectacles to goggles, ensuring your vision stays clear and your eyes are shielded. Our range of disposable masks and respirators are essential for environments with high levels of airborne particles or harmful gases. Our ear muffs or defenders could also be ideal to protect against hearing loss if you work with loud machinery.

Protecting your hands and feet can be just as important. We stock both latex and vinyl hot and cold gloves, as well as a variety of safety footwear. We have shoes suitable for anything from the food industry to rigger boots and puncture, abrasion and penetration resistant safety boots.

For day to day wear, we stock a range of Dickies work clothing, that’s practical, easy to maintain and durable. Our range includes polos, t-shirts and trousers, which are smart and simple, ideal for every day work.

If you work in low visibility conditions, such as at night or during poor weather conditions, high visibility clothing is a must. In the UK, health and safety regulations specify anyone working in conditions where they may not be seen must wear fluorescent clothing. We stock jackets, trousers and waistcoats, ideal for use at the roadside or in poor conditions. Our range of high visibility PPE accessories includes armbands for first aiders and fire wardens, which could be helpful in an emergency situation.

 We also have a range of marine safety equipment, including lifebuoys and all the associated accessories. These need to be visible around all water-areas, such as lakes and ponds, and they could make all the difference if someone found themselves in trouble.

 Personal Protection Equipment is important in a variety of situations, and can be essential in keeping you and others safe. PPE can help with basic as well as more advanced protection, in both hazardous and day to day environments.
