A Personal Thank You
First, a heartfelt thank you to Wendy A. Martin from Brisbane. Wendy, your courage in sharing your son’s story touched us deeply. Your honesty about the daily risks you face — caring for a loved one living with Huntington’s disease and the dangers that come with smoking-related accidents which reminds us why we do what we do.
Her Story: Real Lives, Real Impact
In her review of the Proban Flame Retardant Apron, Wendy wrote:
“Within the first 10 minutes of putting it on, there were no more incidents of burning.”
Those simple words capture the life-changing power of safety gear. For Wendy and her son, the Proban apron wasn’t just a product but it became a shield of reassurance, reducing accidents and giving her peace of mind in a very real, everyday battle.
Why We’re Passionate About Proban
At Big Safety, our mission is to protect the vulnerable and support the caregivers who stand beside them. Safety isn’t only about regulations or workplaces but it’s about people, families, and dignity.
The Proban range embodies that mission. Proban-treated cotton is designed to resist flames: it self-extinguishes when exposed to fire, leaves no smoldering embers, and doesn’t produce sticky residue. That’s why it’s widely used in nursing homes, care facilities, and private homes especially where burns from cigarettes or open flames pose a constant risk.
Products like these aren’t just protective gear; they’re acts of compassion made tangible.
