Every trade faces its own mix of hazards, and the right protective equipment for a welder is rarely the right choice for an electrician or a warehouse operative. This section groups our guidance by trade so you can go straight to what matters for the work you actually do.

Safety guidance organized by the job you actually do on site.

Trades we cover

You will find focused guidance for construction and groundwork, welding and hot work, electrical work, warehouse and logistics, chemical handling, and general maintenance. Each trade page pulls together the typical hazards, the PPE categories that apply, and the EN standards you should be specifying against.

From hazard to control

For each trade we start with the hazards that cause the most harm, then work through the practical controls: what to eliminate or engineer out first, and only then the protective equipment that guards against what is left. This mirrors the hierarchy of control that sits behind every sound risk assessment.

Built on real experience

Where possible the trade guidance draws on the incident stories shared elsewhere on the site, so you can see how a failure in one workplace can inform safer choices in your own.

Trade guidance moves from the biggest hazards to the right controls, PPE included.
