PPE NOT A COMMODITY

There are vast differences in materials, quality, comfort, and workmanship in PPE. Most is stripped down to a price, but some is built up to a performance standard. Because PPE should be considered an investment, with a measurable ROI, rather than a cost, look for feature rich products that will return an price differential many times over. You cannot save enough money on the purchase price to make a significant difference. Reducing the cost of injuries, workers comp insurance, and downtime will produce a much greater ROI than reducing the purchase price. Purchase prices generally reflect the quality of the products. Things cost less for a reason. Don't wait for an accident to find out what that reason really is.
