How to Choose the Right Apron for the Job

Choosing the right apron for the job is crucial for the protection and comfort of your team. There are several factors to consider when making your selection, such as:

• The type of hazard you will be exposed to
• The duration of exposure
• The level of protection needed

You should also consider the comfort and fit of the garment, as well as the material it is made from. Additionally, it’s important to ensure that you're aware of any industry-specific regulations or standards before purchasing PPE.

What Are the Primary Types of Protective Aprons?

When it comes to protective aprons, there are several types to consider. Each type offers specific protection against certain hazards. We’ve outlined the three most common types below.

PROBAN Flame Retardant Aprons

Made from flame-retardant-treated cotton, PROBAN flame retardant aprons offer a lighter and cooler alternative for light to moderate welding, cooking or smoking, as well as other areas that call for flame retardant protection.

PROBAN fabric will char and self-extinguish when it comes into contact with a flame or spark. There is no smouldering or afterglow, therefore providing protection for the wearer. Unlike some synthetic fibre constructions, PROBAN® does not suffer from thermal shrinkage.

The fabric doesn’t leave any sticky residue on the skin either, so there’s no risk of compounding the severity of any potential burn injury. PROBAN aprons are a popular choice for smokers who live in nursing homes.

PRO Choice PVC Aprons

Made from a durable PVC material, PRO Choice PVC aprons can withstand wear and tear in demanding work environments. Resistant to blood, oil and fat, they are commonly used in industrial applications such as abattoirs, commercial kitchens and cleaning roles.

PRO Choice Welding Aprons

PRO Choice Pyromate welding aprons are a popular choice for Australian welders, as they provide a high-quality product at an affordable price. Made from chrome leather and featuring adjustable neck and waist straps with quick-release buckles, the welding apron ensures maximum protection with maximum movement.
