FAQ – Health & Safety Supplies for Hospitality

What health and safety supplies do restaurants and hotels need?

At minimum, commercial kitchens need an HSE-compliant first aid kit, catering plasters, burns dressings, PPE (gloves, aprons, face protection), fire safety equipment such as a fire blanket, and appropriate safety signage covering hazards, fire exits and hygiene. Hotels additionally need supplies for housekeeping and maintenance teams, including chemical-handling PPE and body fluid kits.

Do your first aid kits comply with HSE guidelines?

Yes. We stock first aid kits and refill packs that meet the requirements of the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 and are aligned with BS8599-1:2019. Our catering-specific kits include blue detectable plasters, burns dressings and disposable gloves – the items HSE expects to see in a commercial kitchen environment.

What PPE do catering staff need?

The specific PPE depends on the task. Kitchen staff handling hot equipment or sharp tools need cut-resistant gloves and heat-resistant protection. Staff using chemical cleaning agents need chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Front-of-house staff may need disposable gloves and face masks. Our safety equipment catering range covers all of these roles.

Do you stock safety signs for commercial kitchens?

Yes. Our Signs category includes mandatory fire exit signs, hazard warning signs, hygiene notices and hand-washing instruction signs – all meeting the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. We also stock vinyl stickers and framed poster notices for washrooms and public areas.

What safety equipment do hospitality venues need?

Beyond first aid, hospitality venues typically need fire blankets (mandatory near commercial cooking equipment), body fluid spill kits, emergency foil blankets and protective screens where relevant. The exact requirements depend on your site’s risk assessment – but we stock the core items every catering venue should have in place.

Do you stock cut-resistant gloves for kitchen staff?

Yes – cut-resistant and protective gloves are part of our PPE Equipment range. Kitchen environments involve constant knife work and sharp equipment, so the right glove specification matters. Check the PPE Equipment category for current stock and specifications.

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum order is required. You can order a single first aid kit or a bulk pallet of PPE supplies – we cater for both. Trade account holders benefit from better pricing on larger, regular orders.

Do you offer trade accounts?

Yes. Trade accounts are available for qualifying hospitality and catering businesses. A trade account gives you access to trade pricing across the full range, simplified reordering and account management. Contact us directly to apply.
