A practical PPE checklist for South African site managers

Kitting a crew properly is about sizing, replacement cycles and record keeping, not only buying stock.

Size before stock

The most common PPE complaint is not quality, it is fit. A jacket that does not close or a boot half a size out ends up left in the change room. Measure the crew once, keep the list, and reorder against it.

Set replacement cycles

Hard hats, gloves and high visibility clothing all age. Write down how often each item gets replaced and budget for it, instead of buying in a rush after an inspection.

Keep the paper trail

Issue registers matter as much as the equipment. Record what was issued, to whom and when. Auditors ask for this before they ask to see the store room.

Order in one place

Splitting PPE across four suppliers means four invoices and four delivery dates. We supply workwear, footwear, gloves, goggles, hard hats and high visibility clothing on a single order.
