Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing safety equipment is important. If you’re unsure which product, size, or standard you need, contact us before ordering and we’ll help you find the right option.

How do I choose the right safety equipment?

Choose equipment based on the hazards involved, the work environment, the required protection level, and any standards specified by your employer or site manager. Always check the product description, certification details, and manufacturer’s instructions before use.

If you’re unsure, contact us with details of the job or application and we’ll help point you in the right direction.

How do I know which standards or certifications a product meets?

The relevant standards and certification information are shown in the product description where available or inthe Certifications tab on the product page. You should also check the product labelling and manufacturer’s instructions before use.

If a particular standard is essential for your work, contact us before ordering so we can help confirm the product is suitable.

How do I choose the correct size?

Check the size guide on the product page before ordering. Sizing can vary between brands and product ranges, particularly for safety footwear, harnesses, clothing, and gloves.

For the best fit, measure carefully and compare your measurements with the manufacturer’s guide. If you are between sizes or unsure which size to choose, contact us before ordering.

Can I get help choosing between two products?

Yes. Send us the product names or links, along with the type of work and protection you need. We can help compare the relevant features, sizing, standards, and intended use.

Please note that your employer, safety manager, or a competent person should make the final decision about whether equipment is suitable for a specific workplace risk.

Are your products suitable for professional use?

Our products are intended for the uses described on their product pages and by their manufacturers. Always check the product’s specifications, certification, limitations, and instructions before use.

How should I inspect and care for my safety equipment?

Follow the care, storage, inspection, and replacement instructions provided by the manufacturer. Inspect equipment before use and remove any item from service if it is damaged, contaminated, worn, or no longer reliable.

For fall-protection equipment and other life-safety products, follow the inspection and replacement requirements that apply to your workplace and the manufacturer’s instructions.
