Discover Our PPE Collection — Personal Protective Equipment for Safety at Work & Home

Keep people safe on the job, on site, or at home with Abanista’s comprehensive Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) range. From head-to-toe protection to specialised gear for chemical handling, welding, or working at height, our PPE selection helps you meet safety requirements, reduce injury risk, and protect workers so they can do their jobs with confidence.

Tailored to Your Risk

Every workplace has different hazards. Whether you need basic workshop protection, construction-site PPE, medical disposable supplies, or industrial-grade respirators and fall-arrest systems, Abanista offers solutions sized to the hazard — light-duty tasks, heavy industrial use, or emergency response. Choose equipment appropriate for the specific risks (impact, chemical, electrical, thermal, particulate, noise, or fall).

Leading Brands & Certified Products

We stock PPE from reputable manufacturers and prioritise certified items that meet recognised standards (CE, EN, ANSI, NIOSH and other local approvals). Filtering by certification, application, and durability makes it easy to find compliant gear for single users or whole teams.

PPE Types Explained

Head Protection: Safety helmets and hard hats with chin straps and suspension systems for impact and penetration protection.

Eye & Face Protection: Safety glasses, goggles, and face shields for impact, splash, or radiant exposure (welding shields, anti-fog, UV protection).

Respiratory Protection: Disposable masks (FFP2/FFP3), elastomeric half- and full-face respirators with replaceable cartridges, and powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs).

Hearing Protection: Earplugs (disposable and reusable) and earmuffs for noise attenuation on loud sites.

Hand Protection: Gloves for mechanical (cut, abrasion), chemical, thermal, and electrical protection — nitrile, latex, leather, Kevlar, neoprene, and insulated variants.

Foot Protection: Safety boots and shoes with toe protection (steel/COMPOSITE), puncture-resistant midsoles, slip-resistant soles, and electrical hazard ratings.

High-Visibility & Workwear: Hi-vis vests, jackets and trousers with reflective tape for roadwork and low-light environments.

Fall Protection & Work-at-Height: Safety harnesses, lanyards, energy absorbers, anchor points and rescue kits for safe working aloft.

Protective Clothing: Disposable coveralls, chemical suits, arc flash clothing, and heat-resistant garments for specialised hazards.

Welding & Specialty PPE: Welding helmets with appropriate shade filters, leather aprons, gauntlets and flame-retardant layers.

First Aid & Hygiene Supplies: Eye wash, disposable masks, hand sanitiser, and basic first-aid kits for on-the-spot care.

Key Features to Consider

Hazard Match: Select gear rated for the specific risk (e.g., chemical splash vs particulate inhalation).

Certification: Look for relevant standards and marks for your region and industry.

Fit & Comfort: Proper sizing and adjustable features are essential — PPE that doesn’t fit will not be worn.

Compatibility: Ensure helmets, goggles, respirators and ear protection can be used together without impairing function.

Durability & Reusability: Disposable vs reusable PPE depends on contamination risk and lifecycle costs.

Ease of Maintenance: Replaceable filters, washable components, and readily available spares simplify upkeep.

Traceability & Batch Info: Useful for compliance records and recalls in regulated industries.

Materials & Build

Polymers & Composites: Tough shells and visors for impact-resistant head and face protection.

High-Performance Fibres: Kevlar, Dyneema, and cut-resistant blends for gloves and sleeves.

Metals & Composites in Footwear: Steel or composite toes and puncture-resistant plates.

Elastomers & Filter Media: For respirator seals and filtration efficiency (proper certification required).

Reflective Materials: Certified retroreflective tape for hi-vis garments.

Applications & Use Cases

Construction & Civil Works: Hard hats, safety boots, high-viswear, harnesses for working at height.

Manufacturing & Fabrication: Cut-resistant gloves, eye protection, welding PPE, and hearing protection.

Chemical Handling & Labs: Chemical-resistant suits, gloves, splash goggles, and respiratory protection.

Healthcare & Emergency Response: Disposable masks, gloves, gowns, and eye protection for infection control.

Utilities & Electrical Work: Insulated gloves, flame-retardant clothing, dielectric boots, and arc-rated PPE.

Food & Hospitality: Disposable gloves, hairnets, and hygiene aprons for safe handling.

Care, Inspection & Storage

Inspect PPE before every use for cracks, tears, worn straps, and expired filters.

Clean reusable PPE following manufacturer guidance — many helmets, goggles and textile items can be wiped or hand-washed; respirators have specific cleaning routines.

Replace disposable items and filter cartridges according to usage, contamination and expiry dates.

Store PPE in a clean, dry place away from sunlight and chemicals to preserve materials.

Keep records of inspections, fit tests, and maintenance where regulations require.

Buying Guide — How to Choose PPE

Conduct a risk assessment to identify hazards, exposure routes, and required protection levels.

Consult applicable standards and regulations for your industry and location.

Select certified PPE that matches the hazard (e.g., choose the right filter class for respirators).

Ensure correct sizing and perform fit tests for respirators and harnesses.

Check compatibility between items (helmet + goggles + earmuffs, etc.).

Decide disposable vs reusable based on contamination risk, cleaning capacity, and cost.

Stock spares & consumables (filters, cartridges, replacement straps) for uninterrupted protection.

Train users on correct use, donning/doffing, and maintenance to ensure compliance and safety.
