Help avoid casualties in your workplace by ensuring appropriate safety products are used.

Hearing protection

BOC is here to protect your hearing.

It is vital that employers protect their employees from noise in the workplace.

Exposure to excessive noise can damage the tiny sensory hair cells in the inner ear. This is irreversible and can lead to partial deafness.

As a result of exposure to noise at work, hearing loss, tinnitus and other ear conditions continue to be significant occupational illnesses in the UK and Ireland.

Hearing protection plays a vital role in reducing absenteeism amongst staff, as well as minimising compensation claims against employers.

Respiratory protection

BOC - helping you breathe clean air.

Under EU law, employers must provide appropriate protection to employees who are at risk of respiratory hazards in the workplace.

BOC offers a wide range of masks, facial shields, air respirators, head-tops and accessories from well-known brands such as 3M and NORTH to ensure that your workforce is protected from potentially harmful respiratory hazards.

Gloves

Safety gloves from BOC - you are in safe hands.

The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 stipulate that employers must provide adequate hand protection to anyone at risk in their working environment.

The main workplace applications which require safety glove use are:

mechanical hazards
chemical protection
thermal hazards
product protection

BOC's range of gloves is made from a variety of materials, designed to meet your specific business needs in accordance with tight product legislation.

Skin care

BOC offers the highest standards of skincare protection to prevent the spread of skin diseases which include occupational dermatitis.

Skin disorders can be eliminated using a high quality skincare programme and suitable PPE in the workplace; this includes gloves.

The skincare products included are specially formulated to ensure effective protection against specific types of contamination which may be present in the working environment.

Skin irritants typically fall into two main categories:

water-based irritants: including detergents, acids, solvents, cooling lubricants and water
oil-based irritants: including oils, greases, paints, solvents, resins, tar, petrol and diesel.

Correct skin protection reduces the potential for allergic reactions and keeps your skin healthy by maintaining the strong protective barrier present on the outer layer of your skin.

Stimulation of the defence system by irritants can lead to skin becoming sensitised to harmful substances.

Clothing

BOC provides a comprehensive range of safety garments to suit all your workplace protective needs - from high visibility clothing, body armour and life jackets, to flame-retardant coveralls, disposable lab coats and bespoke corporate uniforms.
