All seven spill kits
Every kit ships with the PPE matched to its own hazard. This page is for standing stock beyond it.
The responder's safety and protection from every surrounding hazard is the cornerstone on which everything else rests.
At HAZ MED we focus on responder safety by supplying complete personal protective equipment offering full protection. This equipment is grouped into four categories, in the order the responder puts it on and in the order the hazard reaches them.
The respiratory tract is fundamental when we speak about protection: if breathing is secured, the responder can carry out their duties fully. The focus here is on preventing gases, vapours and pathogenic agents — bacteria, viruses and airborne toxins — from entering the respiratory tract.
Having secured respiratory safety, we turn to protecting the face and eyes from hazards in the form of flying glass fragments, chemical splashes, or even radiation and light emissions.
The gloves used in emergency response vary with the type of hazard involved. They are among the most important items of personal protective equipment, because the responder carries out their duties entirely with their hands — the closest point of contact with the hazard, and so requiring the highest possible level of protection.
To secure complete protection for the responder's body, a full one-piece coverall — a safety suit — is required, optionally with a protective apron over it.
Step three of the response methodology says to don the equipment appropriate to that specific hazard. Which glove, which filter and which suit is a function of the substance — not of what is nearest the door. If you tell us what your teams handle, we will specify the PPE against it.

Suits, head covers, masks and gloves are the items most consumed in a real incident.
Correct donning and doffing sequence is taught in the field session, not in a leaflet.
