What Should I Look for in Safety Gear?
When you’re purchasing safety gear, consider the work site or environment you’re buying for.

What Types of Safety Supplies Are Available?
Staples carries many categories of safety equipment supplies. See our most popular below.
Gloves & Hand Protection
Staples has gloves to fit your occupational needs, from disposable to durable gloves. Gloves come in latex and latex-free versions, great for home or general office use. For food service, vinyl gloves are popular due to the fact that they’re latex-free, making them food safe. Medical workplaces, mechanics and manufacturing industries tend to prefer neoprene gloves or nitrile gloves due to their increased strength and resistance to chemicals and water. They also offer puncture resistance and are typically latex-free.
Personal Protective Equipment
This category covers everything from eye protection to face and head protection, ear wear and footwear. Complete PPE kits can come with a variety of tools and safety gear to provide full coverage for every situation. Protect eyes from dust, debris and UV rays with goggles or face shields. Use earplugs around loud machinery or other noisy workplaces to help protect your workers’ hearing. Disposable masks protect workers from breathing in harmful irritants. High-visibility clothing and safety vests help individuals stand out in dangerous situations.
First Aid & Wound Care
Having bandages and other items to clean a wound quickly and effectively can help prevent contamination in the workplace. First aid kits are one of the most important types of safety supplies to keep on hand. First aid kits come in a variety of sizes and easily fit into office cabinets, desk drawers and automobile glove boxes to make them simple to transport wherever you need.
Fire, Gas & Water Protection
Fire extinguishers, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, are a must for any enclosed environment or building. Keep your offices and work sites up to date with leak detectors to be prepared for any type of emergency. In today’s workplaces, almost everything utilizes electricity, which can be a fire hazard. Any devices could pose a risk if an accident were to occur, from extension cords to space heaters. Be prepared for any situation by investing in the best fire, gas and water protective equipment.
Signs
Workplace signs can serve a variety of purposes. From indicating “Employees Only” areas to adding health and safety warnings or highlighting fire exits, signs are a great way to make sure buildings are accessible and clear for all situations.
