Looking for protective equipment?
Protective equipment comes in all shapes and sizes. As an expert and supplier of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), we know the ins and outs when it comes to the types and applications of protective equipment. We are happy to take you into our world!
Before we share more about species protective equipment and our capabilities in terms of advice and delivery, we like to frame the concept of protective equipment.
Because any object or product that provides protection against something can be classified as a protective device. Think, for example, of a mosquito net for mosquitoes or an airbag in the car.
Our definition is limited to all products giving protection in the workplace. Such as work and safety clothing, ear and eye protection, foot protection and so on.
Further on, we provide more interpretation on the different types of resources available to promote workplace safety. But first, we like to give a picture of our company; Wijngaarden VeiligGoed.

A PPE consists of three steps:
- Inventorying
- Analysing

1. Inventory of required protective equipment
One of our advisers comes to your workplace to assess the situation through observation and interviews with relevant stakeholders, such as employees. At the same time, an inventory is made of the current use of current personal protective equipment and its use.
