Personal Protective Equipment: 2 Ways to Keep Your Employees and Students Covered
Globally, personal protective equipment has hijacked the headlines for the past several months, and not for all the usual reasons. Personal protective equipment, also known as PPE, is specialised clothing and equipment worn to minimise exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace injuries and fatalities. But the latest pandemic has placed enormous pressure on PPE supply.
As one of the leading suppliers of PPE in South Africa addressing electrical, heat, chemical, biohazard, and airborne particulate matter, such as bacteria, we believe that prevention is better than cure. And with South Africa heading into flu season, children returning to school, and employees reporting back to the workplace, businesses and schools must ensure that employees, teachers, and students have with the right PPE. It is the law.
We Stock Everything Required to Keep Your People Covered
Staying ahead of all the latest safety clothing and equipment technologies and Covid-19 regulations, our comprehensive range of world-class personal protective equipment covers everything you need to keep your employees and students covered.
- Eye and Mouth Protection – visors and face masks are not healthy to wear all day, but they are super powerful in protecting the user against fine hazardous particles or airborne viruses. For extra protection, it is best to wear a visor with a mask to protect the eyes.
- Skin and Hand Protection – hands and fingers are vulnerable to injury and bacteria, which is why they need protection. Depending on the sector you work in, we have various types of gloves that protect against vibrations, sharp materials, cold or heat, chemical splashes, and finally, bacteriological risks. At Top 2 Toe, we also supply aprons, overalls, and hazmat suits.
