My boss has asked me to look into sourcing some waist packs (bum bags) for our operators to wear that they can keep their PPE in. Generally they have ear defenders, dust mask, safety glasses and gloves that would need to go in the bags. There seems to be a large selection of larger holdalls available but nothing much to be worn around the waist. Does anybody use anything like this at the moment? Any suggestions where I might be able to source some from? I welcome all comments

Not seen anything on the market of that ilk, however need to be aware that Im not sure you would want to keep a used dust mask in the same place as gloves,used ear plugs etc. The risk of cross contamination would need to be given some consideration. Human nature is that some people will 'keep' items for a long time. If it is just for new clean stuff cant see a probelm but do feel people woudl then use it for 'used' PPE. Just a 'IMO' thought

I think military respirator haversacks would fit the bill perfectly.

Have a look at this on the Arco Site: Personal Kit Bag - 476500 (cant forward the link, having problems with our web!) but it should be just what you need! Si
