Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment helps protect your team from everyday hazards in busy kitchens, bars, hotels and cleaning operations. This range includes eye protection and disposable aprons suited to food production, housekeeping and contract cleaning. Designed for commercial use, these PPE essentials support hygiene, safety and compliance with workplace regulations. Durable materials and practical designs keep staff protected while allowing them to work efficiently and comfortably.

• Wraparound safety glasses providing comprehensive eye protection from splashes and flying debris.
• Disposable white aprons on a roll for food prep, deli counters and general back of house use.
• Disposable blue aprons on a roll ideal for colour-coded hygiene systems and allergen control.
• Lightweight, comfortable designs that can be worn for long shifts in kitchens and cleaning teams.
• PPE suitable for restaurants, cafes, hotels, catering contractors and facilities management.

How to choose the right Personal Protective Equipment

• Assess the specific risks in your operation, such as splashes, chemicals, hot oil or cleaning agents, and match PPE to those hazards.
• Choose eye protection with wraparound coverage and a secure fit if staff work near flying particles or liquid splashes.
• Select apron length and width to give full torso coverage while allowing staff to move freely around the kitchen or site.
• Use colour-coded aprons, such as blue for raw food or allergen areas, to support your HACCP and hygiene procedures.
• Consider how often items will be changed during shifts and ensure you have sufficient quantities for busy service periods.
• Check that PPE is compatible with other clothing and uniforms your team already uses.

Care and maintenance

• Store safety glasses and other reusable PPE in a clean, dry area away from grease and chemicals when not in use.
• Clean lenses regularly with non-abrasive wipes or mild soapy water to maintain clear vision and avoid scratching.
• Inspect PPE frequently for cracks, tears or wear and replace any damaged items immediately.
• Dispose of single-use aprons after each task or shift to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.
• Train staff on correct fitting, removal and disposal of PPE to maximise protection and compliance.
• Keep a documented schedule for checking stock levels so you never run short during peak service.
