Safety Shop FAQ

What types of safety gear are there?

Some jobs require specific protective clothing and other personal protective gear. Here are a few of the most common types:
  • While safety glasses or a plastic visor and a hard hat fit the bill for most construction sites, welding will see you don a flame retardant and heavy duty helmet and visor combo that protects your head and eyes from sparks.
  • When being seen means staying safe then hi-vis vests are the order of the day.
  • Where air quality is an issue, respiratory protection with specialised masks and filters is vital.
  • Knee pads will reduce impact on your joints when jobs like tiling see you on the ground for hours at a time.
  • Coveralls will keep dust, dirt and adhesives off your regular workwear.
  • Then there’s hand protection like waterproof gloves for working with chemicals, heavy-duty cut-resistant gloves for added abrasion resistance, mechanics gloves that are impact, cut, and vibration resistant, or disposable gloves to keep grease and grime at bay.
  • Worksites can be noisy places, especially when you’re on the tools, so don’t forget your ear protection like earmuffs or earplugs to save your hearing.
  • If road management or traffic control is part of your role, then safety barriers, reflective delineators, and light beacons can help keep you and others safe.
  • There’s also things like first aid kits, spill containment kits, safety signage and hand cleaner to keep everyone on the job safe.
