Best Disposable PPE 2022

Disposable PPE offers essential protection to individuals carrying out hazardous tasks. Despite disposable PPE being unable to protect your head from a bump or keep you warm in colder months, it is used worldwide to keep people safe. Of course, there are a whole spectrum of different forms, applicable in varying situations. Let’s break them down! What is disposable PPE? Disposable PPE is designed to be used only once and by only one person. It can protect you from dust, dirt, chemicals and other hazards. Once you have used the garment it must be disposed of. In turn, this makes it perfect for keeping you clean and preventing cross contamination especially when moving from one job, patient or situation to the next. Most disposable PPE is specially constructed to create a durable garment that also gives the wearer enough breathing room for a full range of movement. valve mask on woman, disposable FFP2 mask Disposable Masks Covid-19 has highlighted the importance of disposable masks. However, they have been a staple PPE item for years. Disposable masks are not only used by medical staff, but they are also an essential PPE item for people in many industries such as construction workers, decorators and engineers. These masks are more likely to be an FFP2 or FFP3 mask as opposed to the basic FFP1 blue surgical masks we are more likely to recognise. Disposable overshoes Overshoes are used more often than you think! Not only for medical settings, but in sterile science labs, food production and surprisingly in real estate. Many houses and rental properties require viewers to wear overshoes to keep the floors spotless. Depending on the environment the colour of the overshoe will be different. For example, in food production they will be required to be blue to be contrasting against the food. However, an estate agent may opt for white overshoes. The size of the overshoe can also vary, with some covers produced especially for boots and others for trainers. Disposable overshoes are not only used to protect floors sometimes they are used to protect your shoe. For example, cleaners can wear them to protect their shoes from dust and dirt. Blue disposable PPE Overshoe Brand Beeswift Price £33.75 SKU DOSECB Blu Disposable Oversleeves Best PPE 2022 Disposable oversleeves Disposable oversleeves are a less common form of disposable PPE, therefore, they have more specific uses. Chefs for example may opt to use them when working with food that is likely to splash or bubble to protect their arms. People in the pharmaceutical industry may wear oversleeves to protect them from chemical splashes. An oversleeve looks like a long glove where the hand portion has been cut off. This leaves the hands unprotected, but the arms have an additional layer of cover. Brand Beeswift Price £50.00 SKU DO14B2 Disposable Aprons Another well-known disposable PPE item, disposable aprons, have myriad uses. These aprons can be spotted in hospitals, care homes, beauty parlours, cleaning, food production/preparation, schools for administering first aid and the list could continue! Some disposable aprons are sleeveless others provide full arm protection. Usually found in blue, they are also widely available in white.

A coverall does what it says on the tin, it covers all! Hence why coveralls are constructed with full length arms, legs and often with zips or fasteners to cover right up to the neck. The coverall is an extreme form of disposable PPE and will be spotted in high-risk environments. These include biochemical labs, infectious disease areas, hazardous chemical labs. On the other hand, coveralls are sometimes used to protect clothing from low-risk dirt and dust, therefore, you may spot a cleaner, decorator or mechanic donning a coverall. However, people in these roles tend to wear reusable coveralls because the non-hazardous detritus can be safely washed off the garment reducing unnecessary waste.

You are likely to see people wearing them in food manufacturing as a compulsory form of PPE. It is also common for chefs and kitchen attendants to wear hair nets to prevent stray hairs finding their way into food. As we all know this is a huge food turn off! People who have lots of facial hair may also be required to wear a hair net over their beards etc. as an extra precaution.
