Why PPE equipment is essential in the workplace
Personal protective equipment is essential to ensure the safety (and sometimes the visibility) of your workers in potentially dangerous situations.
Aston Workwear is one of the foremost suppliers of PPE in the country, with free delivery of all orders over £150. Our cheap PPE workwear is suitable for use in all situations and covers not only hi-visibility PPE clothing but also hearing, head and eye protection, gloves and safety footwear.
PPE clothing is much more commonly seen now, as everyone’s awareness of health and safety increases. Once only seen on construction sites, hi-vis jackets or vests are now required wear for everyone from warehouse and council workers to staff collecting trolleys in supermarket car parks and parcel delivery drivers. Outside the world of work, clubbers routinely wear ear defenders while runners, dog walkers and cyclists have taken to wearing fluorescent gear for safety reasons too.
There is no doubt that as the world gets busier, more crowded and noisier, personal protective equipment is a good investment. For many jobs these days, the wearing of PPE clothing is also a legal requirement, so the number of PPE suppliers has consequently risen with the increase in demand. But in an era where staff change jobs often, there is little point in laying out large sums on workwear.
These days the quality and availability of cheap PPE workwear ensures that staff can be fully protected for less. In addition, because they are now required to wear their PPE safety equipment for longer, it will need replacing more often, so firms are often on the lookout for a good deal on their regular orders. Aston Workwear has a wide selection of personal protective equipment to suit all needs, whether your staff are working with chemicals or cranes or simply stopping on busy roads to make deliveries.
One of the complaints often heard in the early days of widespread personal protective equipment use was that it was often seen as a ‘one size fits all’ area. There was no allowance for the shorter, lighter, wider or taller members of the crew.
These days, however, PPE suppliers have sourced a much wider range of items, with smaller sizes available in gloves and boots, ladies’ workwear ranges and the standard items available in sizes from small to 4x large. Aston Workwear prides itself on having ranges suitable for every member of your staff, and our account managers and customer service team will help to source unusual or hard to find items as needed.
