Health and safety are two words people tend to take seriously, and understandably so. They play a vital role in well-being and overall quality of life. Managing workplace health and safety is critical for all businesses – all employees and employers need to be protected from risks, and in any industry health and safety protocol should be at the top of any priority list. Regardless of industry, the possibility of accidents are always present. Some fields of work present more potential for harm than others but the bottom line is that there needs to be distinct protocols in place for sound workplace health and safety.

PPE is equipment that will protect workers against health or safety risks on the job. The purpose is to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective to reduce these risks to acceptable levels. These hazard risks can be anything from wet floors to falling debris and everything in between. PPE includes items such as protective helmets, eye protection, high visibility clothing, safety footwear, safety harnesses and respiratory protective equipment. Using PPE, and wearing it properly, is vital to avoid unnecessary injury in the workplace. Choosing not to wear PPE can be dangerous especially when it could save lives.

PPE is used across all industries and some industries have very specialised, custom products specifically designed to suit working conditions. Promo & Print Co. is experienced in the provision of PPE across sectors and sources the best brands in the business for each of the following categories.
