Many trades start apprenticeships in August. And protective clothing is often useful to protect employees from accidents or illness. In our range, employers and employees will find a wide choice of safety equipment and workwear from leading brands.
Work equipment
The use of protective equipment is, for many jobs, not only reasonable but, depending on the employer, mandatory. The right protective equipment can minimise, or even eliminate, potential hazards. This increases safety at work and prevents accidents and occupational illness.
Protective helmets
A helmet protects the head against falling or propelled objects and impacts with construction elements and installations. Protective helmets have been compulsory to wear on construction sites since 2000. Helmets to EN 397 or EN 14052 standards comply with and meet the requirements for worksites.
Wear the right helmet for the right job - find your model at a glance:
The uvex pheos forestry kit is specially designed for work in the forest*. With its three variable ventilation openings, it allows perfect adaptation to weather conditions. The mesh visor protects against the intrusion of foreign bodies, but guarantees good vision. Side earmuffs complete the head protection.
The Integrated Eyewear System on the uvex pheos protective helmet allows the uvex protective eyewear to be slid into the uvex pheos helmet or lowered onto the nose. The helmet complies with EN 397 and is therefore suitable for construction work.
Innovative EN 812-compliant anti-shock cap with the sporty design of a baseball cap. It is suitable for manual activities. The ergonomic hard shell guarantees optimum safety and wearing comfort.
Eye and face protection
The human eye is exposed to a wide range of hazards: splinters, chips, dust or chemical agents. Goggles and dust masks protect your eyes and face. Bosch full-face goggles are also ideal for spectacle wearers thanks to comfortable wearing without marks on the face.

Hearing protection
Wearing hearing protection is prescribed when noise limit values at the workstation are exceeded. Hearing protection can prevent hearing damage.
3M offers hearing protectors with integrated FM stereo radio or hearing protectors combined with face protection (27db sound insulation).
Reusable earplugs comply with EN 352 and are therefore suitable for medium-noise environments.
Hand protection
The most common work-related skin diseases are eczemas due to irritation and wear. They appear on contact with acids, bases and other substances that irritate the skin. This is particularly the case in the building trade, metal processing and the chemical industry. Skin protection is also a key issue in the cleaning and hairdressing sectors. Protective gloves protect against skin diseases and injuries to the hands and forearms. They also protect against cuts and/or burns when working with sharp and/or hot objects.
With us, you'll find everything from versatile gloves for assembly, transport or gardening work to gloves for allergy sufferers and protective gloves with PVC elements.
Workwear
Professional workwear is essential if you work in the craft and technical sector. On the one hand, clothes need to keep you warm and protect you from the elements like wind and weather. On the other hand, the right clothes should impart a professional look.
Work jackets
Work jackets should first and foremost keep you warm and visible. Thanks to the reflective elements at the front and back, the hood, the scratch collar cover and the hand-warmer pockets, the Caterpillar Night Flash fulfils both points.
You can, for example, print your company logo or/and name on Rukka workwear to ensure professionalism.
The disposable coverall below has a UPF 5 protection factor (SMS non-woven back). It ensures exceptional wearing comfort and excellent moisture management without reducing the degree of protection.
