Personal protective equipment
for your safety

Personal protective equipment (PPE) protects gardeners and DIYers from the main hazards: cuts, flying debris, noise, dust and falls. Choose it according to your activity and wear it correctly fitted.

01
 
QUICK ANSWER
Size and fit first: poorly fitted PPE offers poor protection.
Matched to the hazard: cut-resistant gloves for sawing, closed goggles against flying debris, ear protection for machines.
Replace as soon as you see wear, cracks, compressed foam or after a heavy impact.
02
 
GLOVES (BY USE)
GARDENING GLOVES
Against thorns and scratches during everyday garden work.
CHAINSAW GLOVES
Cut-resistant and anti-vibration, essential for chainsaw work.
SAFETY GLOVES
Depending on the task: cutting, handling or handling products.
03
 
EYES, FEET & CLOTHING
EYE PROTECTION
Safety glasses against flying debris, sparks and UV. Wraparound models recommended.
SHOES & BOOTS
Waterproof boots with a non-slip sole, or safety boots with a toe cap and a puncture-resistant sole.
CLOTHING
Jacket, reinforced trousers, cuffs: prioritise breathability and freedom of movement.
04
 
RESPIRATORY, HEAD & HEARING
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
A mask against dust and aerosols. Choose the filtration level suited to the activity.

A cap against sun and glare, a helmet against impacts and branches during cutting work.

Ear defenders and noise-cancelling headsets against the noise of petrol machines.

CARE & BEST PRACTICE
Check the condition before each use: wear, cracks, crushed foam.
Clean and dry after use, store away from heat and UV.
Replace as soon as it is damaged or after a significant impact.
