Safety Packs

About Safety Packs

Safety packs provide convenient, pre-assembled collections of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed for specific tasks and working environments. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks carefully curated safety packs from leading brands including Sealey and Handy, ensuring tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts have immediate access to essential protection without needing to source individual items separately. These comprehensive kits take the guesswork out of health and safety compliance, offering cost-effective solutions that meet UK safety standards.

From chainsaw operation and garden maintenance to electrical work on hybrid and electric vehicles, safety packs contain task-specific PPE combinations including gloves, respiratory masks (FFP1 and FFP2), safety goggles, ear defenders and high voltage protection equipment. Each pack is designed to address the particular hazards associated with different tools and working conditions, making them ideal for professionals who need reliable protection quickly and DIYers who want peace of mind for occasional projects.

Applications

• Arborists and tree surgeons operating chainsaws and forestry equipment
• Groundskeepers and gardeners using grass trimmers and hedge cutters
• Electricians and automotive technicians working with high voltage systems on EVs and hybrid vehicles
• General tradespeople requiring dust, impact and noise protection across various tasks
• DIY enthusiasts undertaking home improvement and garden maintenance projects
• Workshop environments where multiple hazards require comprehensive PPE
• Construction sites needing ready-to-use safety equipment for different trades

Choosing The Right Safety Packs

Select your safety pack based on the specific task and associated hazards. Chainsaw and hedge trimmer kits typically include face protection, gloves and ear defenders suited to outdoor cutting operations, whilst electrical safety packs for EV and hybrid work contain high voltage rated gloves and specialised protective equipment meeting relevant BS/EN standards.

Consider the respiratory protection level required for your environment. FFP1 masks provide basic dust filtration suitable for general DIY work, whilst FFP2 rated masks offer enhanced protection against finer particles – essential for certain workshop and construction applications. MyToolShed.co.uk's range includes packs with different respirator grades to match your specific working conditions.

Verify that glove types suit your tasks, whether you need the dexterity of Flexi Grip gloves for general handling or specialised high voltage protection. Check that all components are properly sized and comfortable for extended wear, as ill-fitting PPE compromises both safety and productivity. Multi-task packs offer excellent value if you regularly switch between different tools and applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do safety packs meet UK health and safety requirements?

Yes, the safety packs available at MyToolShed comply with relevant UK and European safety standards. Each component within the pack is certified to appropriate BS/EN specifications, ensuring legal compliance for professional tradespeople and adequate protection for DIY users.

Can I replace individual items from a safety pack?

Absolutely. Whilst safety packs provide convenient starter sets, individual replacement items such as masks, gloves and goggles can be purchased separately as components wear out or require upgrading based on your specific needs.

What's the difference between FFP1 and FFP2 masks in safety packs?

FFP1 masks filter at least 80% of airborne particles and suit low-toxicity dust environments, whilst FFP2 masks filter at least 94% of particles, offering greater protection for moderate-risk applications involving finer dust and certain chemical aerosols.
