The challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic have pushed the topic of personal protective equipment (PPE) into the spotlight like never before.
While PPE has long been a feature of good occupational health and safety standards, the global fight against the spread of the novel coronavirus has made protective wear vital for everyone.
Face masks, face shields, quality sanitisers and no-touch thermometers are now must-haves for South African households and businesses, big and small. And with trading activity slowly resuming, safety in the workplace has never been so important.
KZN's Leading Safety Workwear Companies digital magazine shines the spotlight on local businesses that are stepping up to the plate in providing top-quality protective gear. Companies like:
