Our PPE Range

In Australia, we regulate PPE if a manufacturer makes any of the following claims: it prevents disease transmission, is splash-resistant to blood or body fluids, and is suitable for therapeutic use. The use of PPE is vital in high-risk workplaces and has become increasingly important during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our collection includes: Body Protection, Confined Space & Rescue, Eye Protection, Hand Protection, Head & Face Protection, Hearing Protection, Height Safety, Hydration, Respiratory Protection, and Welding Protection.


What is Personal Protective Equipment?

PPE is clothing or equipment designed to be worn to protect a person from the risk of injury or illness. Be sure to check the recommended PPE for your workplace, as risk management can differ across professions. Control measures such as PPE are essential for occupational safety. RSEA Safety offers a range of PPE for various uses and high-risk environments, providing pro-choice to ensure you find the optimal fit for your needs.


Why is PPE important?

PPE allows people to safely perform work in dangerous environments. PPE is essential in many occupations and includes hard hats, harnesses, Safety Glasses, ear muffs, protective clothing, workwear and other risk management - including infection prevention measures. Explore our PPE categories to find equipment that meets recommended standards and regulations. Quality personal protective equipment provides:

  • Head Protection
  • Body Protection
  • Respiratory Protection

Proper use of PPE is not just about maintaining workplace safety and minimising injury risks. It's about ensuring compliance with workplace safety regulations and occupational standards. At RSEA Safety, we provide quality personal protective equipment that supports this crucial aspect of your operations.


What PPE do I need?

The type of PPE required will depend on the work environment:

  • Respiratory protection
    If you work in an environment where oxygen levels are low or where normal breathing is not possible due to the presence of harmful substances, you will need a respiratory protection device.
  • Work Gloves
    Our PPE range also offers a wide selection of hand protection. The range covers not only basic disposable safety gloves, but also leather & cotton gloves. There are also different gloves for specific uses including chemical resistant, mechanical and welding.
  • Ear Protection
    Using hearing protection equipment will provide extra benefits such as noise reduction, elevated comfort and continuous wear. The level of PPE can vary from low to medium noise levels, and it is suitable for landscaping and industrial work.
  • Knee Pads
    Knee pads are among the most popular body protection items. They benefit people who frequently work on their knees by helping prevent long-term damage.

Proper use of PPE is not just about maintaining workplace safety and minimising injury risks. It's about ensuring compliance with workplace safety regulations and occupational standards. At RSEA Safety, we provide quality personal protective equipment that supports this crucial aspect of your operations.


How to use PPE properly?

It is important that PPE is used correctly in order to minimise health and safety risks as much as possible. This means that PPE needs to be:
