Choosing tools and site safety gear

Dust from cutting

Cutting masonry and concrete produces silica dust. Use water suppression or extraction and suitable respiratory protection, as HSE guidance sets out.

Gloves for the task

Different gloves suit different risks: cut resistance, chemical protection to EN ISO 374 for cement, or grip.

Cement burns

Wet cement can burn skin. Wear waterproof, chemical-resistant gloves (EN ISO 374) and long sleeves, and wash it off quickly.

How it arrives on site

Tools and PPE travel with the rest of your order. We agree the drop point and offload method when we price your order. Read more about how delivery works.

How much do you need?

Kitting out a crew of 4 means 4 sets each of eye protection, gloves suited to the task, a hard hat and hi-vis, plus respiratory protection for anyone cutting masonry.

Tools & Site Safety: questions

What PPE do I need for cutting blocks?

Eye protection, hearing protection and an FFP3 mask (or a better respirator) for silica dust, plus gloves. Use water suppression or extraction where possible.

Can wet cement burn skin?

Yes. Cement is alkaline and can cause burns. Wear waterproof gloves and wash any off quickly with clean water.

What is EN 166?

The European standard for eye protection; look for it on safety glasses and goggles.

Do you sell wheelbarrows and mixers?

Wheelbarrows and buckets yes, and we can price mixers on request.

Can tools be added to a materials delivery?

Yes, add them to your list and they come on the same lorry.
