PPE Specialist

Garage PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is essential for protecting technicians and enthusiasts from physical injury, chemical exposure, airborne particles, and environmental hazards commonly found in workshops and garages. From hand and eye protection to respiratory and hearing safety, the right PPE helps reduce risk while maintaining productivity and compliance.

At Design911, we supply high-quality garage and workshop PPE suitable for professional mechanics, motorsport teams, and home garages alike.

What Garage PPE Does

Garage PPE is designed to minimise exposure to workplace hazards, including:

• Sharp edges, pinch points, and impact risks
• Oils, fuels, solvents, and cleaning chemicals
• Dust, brake debris, and airborne contaminants
• Noise from power tools and workshop equipment
• Heat, sparks, and friction-related injuries

Correct PPE use helps protect hands, eyes, lungs, ears, and skin, reducing injury risk and long-term health issues.

Why Garage PPE Fails

Garage PPE can fail or become ineffective due to:

• Wear and tear from regular use
• Chemical degradation from oils and solvents
• Loss of elasticity, grip, or protective coatings
• Cracks, scratches, or clouding in eye protection
• Blocked or saturated filters in respiratory equipment

Once PPE is compromised, it no longer provides adequate protection and may increase risk rather than reduce it.

When Garage PPE Should Be Replaced

Garage PPE should be replaced:

• When visible damage or excessive wear is present
• After exposure to harsh chemicals or fuels
• When gloves lose grip or tear resistance
• If eye protection becomes scratched or cloudy
• According to manufacturer replacement guidelines

Regular inspection and timely replacement ensures consistent safety standards in both professional and home workshop environments.
