How to choose the right Personal Safety Equipment

• Assess the specific risks in each area of your operation, such as hot oil, chemicals, food splashes or airborne particles, and choose products that address those hazards.
• Select apron, tabard or coverall styles and lengths that provide adequate coverage while allowing staff to move freely in tight kitchen or service spaces.
• Consider material performance, opting for waterproof or water-resistant fabrics where frequent liquid exposure is expected, and breathable options for long shifts.
• Match colours and styles to your uniform policy so front of house, back of house and production teams are easily identifiable.
• Check sizing ranges for coveralls and garments to ensure a comfortable, secure fit for all staff members.
• Include eye protection, masks, hair nets and beard snoods where required by HACCP plans or site-specific hygiene standards.

Care and maintenance

• Wash aprons, tabards and coveralls regularly according to the manufacturers instructions to maintain hygiene and fabric performance.
• Inspect safety glasses, goggles and masks frequently for scratches, damage or worn straps and replace items that no longer fit securely.
• Store clean garments, hair nets and beard snoods in a dry, designated area away from food preparation surfaces.
• Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners on coated or waterproof fabrics to prevent damage to protective finishes.
• Keep accident report books in a clearly accessible location and ensure entries are completed promptly and legibly.
• Train staff on correct use, fitting and disposal of single-use items to maintain consistent safety standards.
