PPE suppliers range from workwear stores to manufacturers and bulk wholesalers. PPESuppliers.co.za is a free quote-request service for South Africa. Tell us what personal protective equipment you need and where, and we pass your request to independent suppliers who quote you directly. We do not sell PPE ourselves and we never give prices. There is no charge and no obligation to accept a quote. Compare several offers on the same list and choose the supplier that suits your site, your budget and your delivery date.

What PPE suppliers stock

A good supplier covers the body from head to foot. Most carry a core range and can source the rest.

  • Head, eyes and ears: hard hats, safety glasses, goggles, ear plugs and earmuffs.
  • Lungs and hands: dust masks, respirators and cartridges, and gloves for cut, heat, chemical and general work.
  • Body and feet: overalls, hi-vis clothing, rain suits, safety boots and gumboots.
  • Falls: harnesses, lanyards and anchor points.

Specialist suppliers add welding, electrical, mining or medical lines.

Many also stock chemical-resistant gloves, first-aid items and spare parts such as helmet liners and replacement lenses, so one order can cover most of a site's needs.

Types of PPE supplier

Not every supplier works the same way. Workwear stores sell off the shelf and suit small orders. Wholesalers hold bulk stock for contractors and resellers. Manufacturers make clothing and footwear to your design and quantity. Branding shops add logos and reflective trim. Some suppliers also run contract supply, with scheduled issue to your sites.

Tell us which type you want, or leave it open. We send your request to the mix that fits, so a store, a wholesaler and a maker can each respond.

Smaller buyers usually do well with a store. Larger buyers, such as a mine or a municipality, often get more from a wholesaler or a contract supplier who holds stock for them.

How to compare suppliers

Compare like with like. Put the same list in front of every supplier and check the following in each reply.

  • Is each item certified to the relevant SANS or EN standard, with an NRCS letter of authority where one is required?
  • Are sizes, colours and lead times stated?
  • Is stock held locally, or made to order?
  • What are the delivery, returns and replacement terms?
  • Can the supplier supply the same item again next year?

Cheap, uncertified PPE can fail when it is needed most, so ask for proof of compliance.

Look at service as well as stock. A supplier who answers quickly, helps with sizing and fixes errors without fuss will save your safety officer many hours over a year.

What affects the quote

Prices are not shown on this site, because they depend on your request. The main drivers are the items and sizes, quantities, certification level, branding, delivery location and the delivery date. State whether you need a once-off order or repeat supply across the year. Name your industry and the hazards on site, so the supplier can match the right rating. Include your deadline, the delivery address and whether you want items packed per employee. A clear list gets faster and more accurate quotes than a vague one.

Comparing PPE suppliers quotes

PPE prices move with fabric, leather and rubber costs, the exchange rate and stock levels. When quotes arrive, check:

  • Exact item and standard: the product, the standard or rating it is certified to, and an NRCS letter of authority where one is required.
  • Sizes and quantities: price per unit or per pack, size runs available and any minimum order.
  • Stock or lead time: ex stock, or imported or made to order, and how long that takes.
  • Delivery and VAT: delivery to site, branding costs, whether VAT is included and how long the price holds.

What to include in your request

  • List every item with size and quantity needed.
  • State the standards or ratings your risk assessment requires.
  • Give your industry and the hazards on site.
  • Say if you need branding, kitting or scheduled issue.
  • Add the delivery address and your deadline.

Frequently asked questions

Are you a PPE supplier?
No. PPESuppliers.co.za is a free quote-request service. We pass your request to independent PPE suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers and workwear stores across South Africa. They quote you directly and supply the equipment. There is no fee and no obligation to accept any quote.
Is an employer legally required to supply PPE?
Yes. Under the OHS Act and the General Safety Regulations, an employer must provide the PPE needed for the hazards at work, free of charge, and make sure it is used. Mines fall under the Mine Health and Safety Act. Check your own risk assessment.
How do I find a PPE supplier near me?
Give us your town or site address when you send the request. We pass it to suppliers that deliver to your area, and you compare their replies. Many suppliers deliver nationally, so a supplier does not need to be in your town.
What should I put in a PPE request?
List each item, sizes, quantities and the standards you need. Add your industry, delivery address, deadline and whether you want branding. If you are unsure what to buy, describe the hazards and tasks, and suppliers will suggest suitable items.
