Respiratory protective equipment, often referred to as Respiratory PPE is worn when an individual is working in an environment where they are exposed to hazardous substances in the air.

A half mask respirator covers the nose and mouth of the wearer and is held in place using adjustable straps. As the wearer breathes, air travels through the filters and is cleaned before being inhaled. At SafetyLiftinGear, we supply A1 Cartridges to filter out organic vapour and gases. We also supply the Half Mask Respirator itself, which has been carefully designed to ensure a secure and comfortable fit when worn.
SafetyLiftinGear stocks a range of Dust Masks, including:
Please ensure that you read the details of these products carefully before purchasing to ensure you are choosing the right mask for the job.
Emergency escape breathing apparatus is a self-contained breathing system that incorporates a half mask, a hood, and a cylinder of air that can be used in extreme situations where an individual requires breathable air immediately. For example, in a confined space or during a fire. This equipment should only be used in emergencies – the cylinder will provide oxygen for approximately 10 minutes.
We hope that this makes choosing the right respiratory PPE for your workplace an easier task. If you’d like to look at our entire range of PPE and Workwear, click here.

When carrying out work near a live source of electricity such as a power line, it is paramount that you use a non-conductive ladder to minimise the risk of accidental electrocution. This is where SafetyLiftinGear’s Glassfibre Ladders come in!
Besides being suitable for work with electrics, fibreglass ladders have many other advantages over standard aluminium ladders. They tend to weigh less making them easy to move, they are resistant to weathering, don’t absorb moisture, and are warmer to the touch. We have chosen two ladders from our fibreglass range to show you the two different styles we have on offer.
