PPE for the food industry
The food industry places great importance on cleaning and disinfecting premises to eliminate dirt, as well as microbiological and chemical contamination.
During manufacturing, personnel must protect themselves from risks and avoid contaminating the production line. Fabric workwear, when damp or soiled, promotes bacterial growth and must be changed regularly.
An alternative solution is short-term nonwoven clothing. Our complete range of coveralls protects against chemical and biological risks in the food industry.
Risks related to the food industry
Production
This stage concerns blood splashes during cutting, food processing, food handling, curing, chemical preservation, or drying times.
Risks to the individual: Salmonella, which can develop during meat slaughter and processing, handling of dairy products, processing and drying of fish, and processing of vegetables grown with organic fertilizers.
Risks to the production chain: Parasites carried by the human body.
Packaging
This stage involves the handling of unpackaged food or perishable ingredients. High protection must be maintained, especially if the food is not further processed and microorganisms can develop there.
Risks to the production chain: Parasites carried by the human body.
Maintenance
During the maintenance of production tools, many food residues come into contact with the agent. Checking valves and pipes also presents a high risk of splashing.
Risks to the individual: Biological risks are significant, with the possible presence of mold or spores, and oil or grease splashes.
Cleaning and disinfection
The cleaning phase, particularly of tanks, exposes employees to splashes of chemicals such as chlorinated products, as well as contaminated food residues. Optimal protection is required.
Risks to the individual: Viruses, bacteria, endotoxins, fungi (molds and yeasts).
Biological risks: Splashes of chlorinated alkaline chemicals, sodium hydroxide, nitric acid, peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, formalin, alcohols, aldehydes, and hypochlorite.

|
Gloves with high elasticity and optimal comfort, they guarantee an excellent grip for handling objects with precision. Waterproof and airtight, they are ideal for food processing environments. | Gloves offering excellent dexterity and optimal grip, even in wet or dry conditions, thanks to their textured fingers. Intended for food handling and preparation (e.g. HACCP approach). |
Made in France.
Coveralls and gowns
Hygiene coveralls and gowns limit particle dispersion and meet strict food safety standards, ensuring a clean production environment that meets sanitary requirements.
Polypropylene hygiene gown |
Polypropylene hygiene coverall |
|
|
|
Protects the work environment from body particles (dander, hair, perspiration) and complies with HACCP requirements. It also protects the operator from dirt related to their activity, ensuring hygiene and safety in the food industry. |
Lightweight and breathable, this polypropylene coverall provides optimal protection while ensuring operator comfort. Featuring a hood, elasticated wrists, ankles, and a face opening, it offers a secure fit. Its individual packaging facilitates hygiene and distribution in the food industry. |
Cat.III PPE suits and gowns protect workers from chemical hazards, particularly during maintenance and cleaning operations. Designed to withstand aggressive agents such as detergents and solvents, they ensure worker safety from splashes and toxic substances, thus reducing the risk of occupational accidents.
WeePro |
WeePro Col |
 |
|
|
Protection against low-density projections and biologically contaminated dust. It can be worn during production, packaging and maintenance tasks. |
A collared version of the classic WeePro coverall, it offers identical protection against low-density splashes and biologically contaminated dust, and can be worn during production, packaging and maintenance tasks. |
WeePro Max+ |
WeeJet |
 |
 |
|
Protection against low-density splashes (oil, blood, and other food-grade liquids). Its sealed seams protect against aerosols and very fine contaminated particles. Has achieved the best results in the EN14126 standard, Category 3 Type 4 tests. |
Optimal protection against high-pressure cleaning in wet environments. It resists concentrated products during cleaning phases. Standardized against biological risks (blood and contaminated solids). Its high-density exterior coating ensures optimum resistance to abrasion. |
Respiratory protection masks
Masks are essential to prevent food contamination by microorganisms from workers, ensuring hygiene and compliance with health standards in sensitive areas.
Masque Type IIR Kolmi Vitals |
Masque Type II Kolmi Vitals |
|
|
|
Kolmi Vitals masks protect the environment from droplets while providing an effective barrier against bacteria, particles, and viruses. Their Origami fold and Smile seal ensure a perfect fit and optimal comfort. Hypoallergenic, they are ideal for the food industry. |
|
When cleaning with chemicals, FFP2 or FFP3 masks protect operators by filtering out toxic fumes. Wearing them reduces the risk of irritation and poisoning and ensures a safe working environment.
FFP2 Kolmi Oxygen Mass Balance |
FFP3 Kolmi Oxygen Mass Balance |
 |
|
|
Kolmi Oxygen Mass Balance FFP2 and FPP3 masks provide a barrier against aerosols and solid or liquid particles, while protecting the environment from biological droplets and splashes. Their soft, form-fitting design limits leaks for optimal comfort, even over extended periods. They are designed using a Mass Balance approach, reducing the use of virgin materials thanks to 70% recycled content. Hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, and made in France. |

Shoecovers
In the food industry, the use of overshoes is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing contamination of production areas. They help limit the introduction of external dirt and reduce the risk of microbiological contamination. The adoption of different colored soles plays a key role in preventing cross-contamination: each color is assigned to a specific area (e.g., preparation, packaging, or storage areas), thus ensuring better traceability and compliance with health protocols.
Safefeet SkidGuard |
|
|
Made of PP with a 60µm non-slip PE sole, these overshoes offer optimal grip even on uneven floors and increased durability against abrasion. They are available in several colors, which allows for color coding by area, reinforcing traceability and hygiene, a real asset for demanding food processing environments. Adaptable to all body shapes and shoes. |
Goggles
Safety glasses are essential to protect the eyes from splashes of chemicals or hazardous materials during cleaning or processing operations.
How to choose PPE for the food industry?
Assess the risks
Identify the specific hazards (chemical, biological, mechanical, thermal) associated with each task.
Analyze the working conditions
Consider the environment (temperature, humidity, exposure to contaminants) and ease of cleaning.
Comply with standards
Choose PPE that complies with regulations, such as (EU) 2016/425 and CE certifications.
Prioritize comfort
Equipment must be ergonomically designed to avoid discomfort for the worker.
Schedule maintenance and replacement
Regularly inspect equipment and replace it when worn to ensure its effectiveness.
