Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment (PPE) protects you from the safety and health risks associated with your activity. Strictly in accordance with the regulations in force, they must also be very comfortable to allow you maximum freedom of movement.

High visibility clothing
Colorful I.P.E. for dangerous situations or poor visibility: the safety of men and women working in these conditions must not be compromised. Lafont’s ranges guarantee protection for wearers while offering a modern and elegant look.
These standardized protective garments are intended for the visual signalling of the user in all lighting conditions during the day (with a fluorescent support) as well as at night under the effect of vehicle headlights (with reflective strips). The European standard EN 20471 is the only standard that applies to signaling clothing for professional and private use.
Multi-risk clothing
Because worker safety is our priority, Lafont has worked with experts and professionals to design ranges dedicated to high-risk environments. Whether mechanical, chemical or thermal, these risks require equipment that is adapted and strictly complies with current standards. With our multi-risk ranges, worker protection is assured with certified and field-approved outfits.
This standardized workwear protects the wearer from small splashes of molten metal, brief contact with flames and radiant heat from an arc.
This standardized protective clothing protects the wearer from light chemical splashes occurring at low pressure, such as sprays or splashes of less hazardous chemicals. These garments do not protect against solvents.
These standardized work clothes protect the wearer from the thermal effect of a parasitic arc (not from the dangers of electrification) and prevent further combustion.
This standardized workwear ensures limited flame spread and protects against radiant, convective and contact heat as well as molten metal droplets.
Standard electrostatically dissipative protective clothing prevents discharges.
Protection of electronic devices against electrostatic phenomena in accordance with the requirements of the ESD control program necessary for the manufacture of electrostatic discharge sensitive components.

The employer is subject to regulatory obligations if all or some of its employees use I.P.E. :
With the assistance of the C.H.S.C.T. (or the Labour Inspectorate) and the staff representatives, the employer must carry out an analysis and an evaluation of the various risks to be covered. This will provide the customer with all the essential information on the various types of aggression to which the personal protective equipment will be exposed at the time of ordering or tendering.
According to the regulations, an I.P.E. must be used when the risks cannot be avoided and are not sufficiently covered by other means of protection (collective protection techniques or work organization measures).
