Keeping people safe

At Lyreco we know that effective PPE is critical to ensure the protection of your workforce and to comply with health and safety legislation

Without personal protective equipment that’s fit for purpose, work in any environment just isn’t safe. Lyreco will work with you to ensure that your workforce is fully protected from head to toe against workplace hazards so that your teams can continue to work safely.

Keeping your workforce safe since 2014

Lyreco has been sourcing and supplying PPE since 2014. Since then, we have earned a reputation built on quality and collaboration – working alongside our customers to improve employee safety, increase cost savings, reduce waste to landfill and support sustainability goals.

As a BSIF-registered safety supplier, we have a team of 20 PPE specialists – all of whom are BSIF-accredited.

Today we are a ‘Registered Safe Supply Scheme’ accredited member of BSIF having been commended and highly commended at the Annual Safety Awards in categories of Service and Safety Solution in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Testament to this is the growth of our safety business, growing from £1.3m in 2014 to £35m in 2021. In 2020 alone, Lyreco supplied 20m pieces of PPE to businesses adapting to the pandemic. We also worked with many businesses that were struggling to source specific items during the pandemic to work smarter and navigate their challenges.

Our PPE range

Lyreco carries more than 6,000 products ranging from head to toe PPE, Industrial Workwear, Site Safety Equipment and First Aid.

Our comprehensive range of PPE has been carefully selected by our highly experienced and knowledgeable PPE Team. The team comprises more than a century of combined industry experience backed up by industry-recognised certifications such as IOSH Health & Safety, NEBOSH, BSIF Registered Safe Supply Accreditation. With the Lyreco PPE Team, you’re in safe hands.

Eye protection such as safety goggles are an essential piece of PPE, working to protect the user’s eyes when carrying out any work where debris or liquid could contaminate the eye.

Eyewear should fit well and be comfortable to use, ensuring that users will be more likely to wear it and protect themselves.

Head injuries are damage caused to the scalp, skull or brain as a result of trauma. This includes concussions, skull fractures and wounds. Head and face protection is a vital item of PPE, designed to protect the head and facial areas from trauma and burns.

Hand protection and safety gloves are a must to protect worker’s hands against cuts, punctures, burns and abrasions. They can also provide additional support when handling large items by providing added grip and dexterity.

Safety footwear protect the user against trauma caused by impact from heavy objects, puncture risks from sharp objects, spills and extreme temperatures as well as slips and trips. The sole and fabric materials vary based on workplace requirements. Taking into account comfort, durability and toe protection is also a necessity.

Protecting workers’ hearing when in a noisy environment above 85 dB(A) is a legal requirement. Hearing protection works to protect wearers from damage caused by excess levels of noise at work.

When respiratory protective equipment is being used, it’s important to ensure that the facepieces fit the wearer’s face forming a tight seal for adequate protection. 

Whether it’s a Disposable, Half Mask or Full Face Mask (including those fitted to a powered respirator), employers are required to fit test them. This is done to ensure that there is a good seal between the respirator and face as well as that the facepiece fits the person’s face well. We can offer Face Fit Testing from our Respiratory partner brands – 3M, Deltaplus, Moldex, GVS, JSP and Alpha Solway.

Ensuring the safety of your workers is essential. In many working environments, head protection is mandatory – from safety helmets to visors.

Branded head protection ensures that not only is a team united and easily identified while working, but also grants workers the confidence to wear their PPE and prioritise their safety. We offer logo head protection from our partner brands – JSP and Centurion.

If you need prescription glasses in your everyday life, you will also need prescription lenses added to your safety eyewear. The right protection and optimal vision are a must, so Lyreco have partnered with Bolle to offer prescription safety spectacles and goggles.

Good communication is vital but is often a challenge in high noise working environments.

Similar to face fitting, moulded hearing protection relies on creating a good seal. It is a bespoke hearing protection solution that is created based on an impression of a person’s auditory canal. This makes it a bespoke solution, offering optimal comfort and protection.

Even if you have an active spill response plan, accidents can still occur throughout your worksite, leading to a host of environmental, health and safety risks.

To ensure that you’re sufficiently protecting your workplace, our spill partner Ecospill carries out a full on-site survey with a written report detailing findings related to your fluid management systems alongside improvement suggestions for your spill management plan.

Our bespoke signage partner Spectrum Industrial design, produce and install safety signs and stencils to a customers specification, from a single sign up to larger printing of thousands. Specific requirements such as a company logo can also be tended to.

Optimal lighting is vital to prevent visual fatigue and eyesore for workers. It’s mandatory to maintain all lighting solutions and ensure they are properly installed and maintained. Nightsearcher rental service for workplace lighting solutions means you’re always prepared for any onsite work.

Physical labour while wearing improper footwear can result in a variety of undiagnosed foot problems including plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. Rockfall foot scanning provides an arch support system which installs additional insoles within safety footwear, giving additional protection against foot injuries.

 

The type of insole installed is chosen in a bespoke way. The users foot is scanned and within a few seconds determines which arch support insole is appropriate.

Like Rockfall foot scanning, Sixton foot scanning aims to prevent foot injuries. The Complete+ scanner specifies the appropriate footwear for each individual by determining their shoe size, foot arch, balance and foot thrust.

Corporate workwear unifies your team, providing a statement on who you are and what you do. Adding corporate branding to garments such as high-visibility clothing or workwear can be done by using either embroidered stitching or applying heat seal badges.

Essential PPE products are vital for ensuring your team’s health and safety. It’s essential to understand how PPE is recycled to reduce waste and respect the environment.

Used PPE products are put into boxes and collected. They are returned to Lyreco NDC and where possible, recycled through our chosen partner.

Fall arrest systems are a vital health and safety measure as they work to protect workers who are in the process of falling by stopping the fall once it’s happened. Servicing of fall arrest equipment to ensure it is fit for purpose is essential, with the minimum requirement for assessment being annual.

Sustainability

By its very nature, PPE poses certain challenges with sustainability. To be compliant and effective it must use many ‘virgin’ materials, which prohibits the use of recycled materials.

Even so, Lyreco works to reduce the impact of PPE on the environment. For example, using packaging that is recycled and/or recyclable, and delivering to customers using one of our fleet of 17 electric vans. We also try to source local products to reduce the carbon footprint of each item.

 

We have a selection of 450 ‘Great for People, Great for the Planet’ products within our PPE range.

Helping you protect your workforce, whilst also protecting the planet.
