Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
PPE is defined as equipment which is intended to be worn by a person at work and which protects against any risk to health or safety. It is one of those important areas that is often overlooked – we all know we should be taking sensible precautions to protect our lungs, sight, hearing, hands and feet, but when it comes down to it we’ve either lost the kit, forgotten to put it on or just can’t be bothered. With Axminster’s range of affordable and easy to wear products, there’s no excuse.
