Appropriate safety footwear should always be used when working with tools and machinery. Ordinary shoes / trainers offer no protection against potential injuries. All our stores carry a full range of protective footwear by leading brands such as Caterpillar, Timberland, Dewalt, Dr Martens and Dunlop.
It's so important to wear ear protection when operating excessively noisy tools or machinery. Visit your local Balloo Hire depot and protect your hearing with a sound investment starting from only £5.99 +VAT.
Please wear eye protection when operating this equipment to protect your eyes from flying particles, debris and sparks. We have a number of top brand goggles/glasses which provide superior protection. Call into your local Balloo Hire today to view the range.
Protective gloves will protect you from cuts, scratches and burns. Please note what makes one glove suitable for one purpose does not necessarily make it suitable for another. Ask a member of our team to get you the correct safety gloves for the job at hand when you are instore.
Regularly breathing dust over a long time can have serious health implications, so please wear a dust mask at all times. Dust masks are available instore from 87p +VAT.
