Site safety supplies are crucial in your workplace. Ensuring you have plenty of the safety equipment and supplies in stock that you require to operate your business has never been more critical than it is right now, as we collectively navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 health crisis.
Whether the safety supplies you seek relate to directly protecting your employees and your customers from the coronavirus outbreak (for example, cleaning and personal protective equipment) or are requirements typical to your industry (for example, high voltage rescue kits), having the right protective supplies in adequate numbers and at your fingertips is essential to the safety and integrity of your business, your employees, and your clients.
Site Safety Supplies and COVID-19
As an employer, you have distinct responsibilities to provide your staff with a safe workplace at all times, including as this relates to the 2020 coronavirus.
As an absolute minimum, and regardless of your industry, business type, or size, you need to:
- Provide access to adequate hygiene facilities (soap, water, toilet paper)
- Hand sanitiser where available
- A clean, disinfected workplace
- Relevant PPE as required by your industry
- Maintain risk mitigation practices. During COVID-19, these additionally require social distancing if possible, masks if appropriate, and safety gloves where reasonable.
Here at Southland Supply Group, we provide all the safety supplies you need – from industry-specific safety equipment such as sun protection, hi-vis clothing, Blundstone boots, and working at heights safety equipment - to disposable personal protection for use while coronavirus is a risk.
PPE
NSW Health has implemented a strategy for the entire state to ensure that all health department employees have the personal protective work equipment that they require. But what about those who do not work in the health and medical system?

Always necessary in the health and medical setting, all industries (and many individuals) are now experiencing a need for items including eye protection, disposable protective clothing, and gloves including orange safety gloves.
