A Look at PPE Per Industry
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is some of the most important supplies provided by distributors to laboratories, medical facilities, and food production plants. More than just a safety precaution, these essential supplies can mean the difference between health and sickness for employees and end users alike. That’s why the professionals at Total Source Manufacturing have taken a look at what PPE means to each industry we serve.
Medical Industry
Medical and dental facilities need a variety of masks, both with and without a face shield. Exam gloves are another necessity that will be ordered in bulk in a variety of sizes and materials. Frocks, lab coats, aprons, and isolation gowns are the next PPE you should stock. Finally, cover the extremities with shoe covers, bouffants, beard covers, and surgical caps. High quality, durable, sized-to-fit supplies ensure comfort for the staff who wear PPE for extended hours.
Cleanroom Industry
Cleanrooms and laboratories need PPE both for the protection of the workers and for resistance to contaminants. Start with a line of bouffants, beard covers, shoe covers, and hoods. Then, move on to coveralls, gowns, frocks, and lab coats. Cleanroom gloves can be made of latex, vinyl, or nitrile. Another PPE essential is masks. Finger cots and arm sleeves are popular cleanroom supplies. Finally, be sure to include an assortment of electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventative supplies for sensitive environments.
Food Manufacturing Industry
Food production facilities start with frocks, aprons, coveralls and lab coats. Once their core is covered, they then look to masks and a variety of gloves. Bouffants, hairnets, and beard nets are a must for this industry. Shoe covers are also frequently used. Finally, finger cots and arm sleeves are also popular PPE essentials.
