These are Type IIR procedure face masks from Omnitex, supplied in packs of 50 in black — a practical choice for front of house catering teams where presentation matters alongside basic hygiene protection. Type IIR is the standard most commonly specified for food service and hospitality environments, offering a higher level of bacterial filtration than standard Type I masks.

Each mask uses a three-layer construction. The outer layer is fluid resistant, which helps reduce bacterial transfer through respiratory droplets. The middle layer is a meltblown filter achieving bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) exceeding 98%, and all layers are made from polypropylene, which is non-irritating and non-toxic against the skin. An integrated nose bridge allows the mask to be shaped for a closer fit, and the soft, flexible materials make them more comfortable to wear through a busy service period than many stiffer alternatives.

These masks are produced to EN14683:2019+AC:2019 standards, which is the relevant European norm for medical and procedure face masks. That certification matters if you are operating in an environment with formal hygiene or compliance requirements.

• Suitable for front of house, service, and food preparation staff
• Black colour suits uniforms where standard blue or white masks would stand out
• Comfortable enough for extended wear during a full service shift
• Pack of 50 provides a practical short-term stock level for most sites

The Supertouch E30 are a straightforward pair of unvented safety goggles intended for environments where eye protection against medium impact and airborne particles is required. The unvented design means there are no openings in the frame, which makes them suitable for tasks involving dust, debris, or fine particulates where a vented goggle would offer less protection. They comply with EN 166, the European standard for personal eye protection, which is the relevant benchmark for professional use in commercial settings.

The polycarbonate construction gives the lenses a reasonable degree of impact resistance without adding significant weight. The soft vinyl frame sits comfortably against the face during extended wear, and the adjustable strap allows the fit to be set securely across different head sizes. One practical consideration worth noting is that they are designed to fit over standard prescription glasses, which is useful in kitchens or prep environments where staff wear corrective lenses.

• Unvented frame provides a sealed barrier against dust and fine particles
• Adjustable strap suits a range of head sizes and ensures a secure fit
• Compatible with prescription glasses for staff who require them
• Lightweight polycarbonate construction suitable for extended wear
• EN 166 compliant for professional use across a range of tasks

These goggles are best suited to general-purpose use in food production, prep kitchens, or maintenance tasks where eye protection is required but the risk level does not demand specialist chemical or high-impact rated eyewear. If the tasks in your environment involve higher-risk exposure, it is worth confirming that the E30's protection rating is sufficient before issuing them to staff.

If you are unsure which eye protection is appropriate for a particular task or work environment, the team is happy to help you choose correctly.

The COBA CablePro GP is a straightforward, practical cable management solution designed to protect cables and wires running across floor areas where pedestrian traffic or equipment movement could otherwise cause damage or create a trip hazard. Made from PVC and finished in high-visibility black and yellow, it is built to be noticed and to stay in place during busy periods.

In commercial environments — whether a kitchen, events space, bar area, or service corridor — trailing cables are a common hazard. The CablePro GP sits flat to the floor and channels cables securely beneath its profile, reducing the risk of trips and preventing cables from being crushed underfoot or by trolley wheels. Its low 11mm profile keeps it from becoming an obstacle in its own right, and the PVC construction holds up to regular foot traffic without deforming.

Practical advantages for day-to-day use include:

• High-visibility black and yellow colouring improves hazard awareness in busy areas
• Low-profile design reduces trip risk from the protector itself
• PVC construction resists moderate impact and general wear from foot traffic
• Easy to reposition as cable routing requirements change
• Lightweight at 1kg, making it simple to handle and store when not in use

At 3m in length, this protector suits situations where a single cable run needs covering across a defined floor area. It is worth considering whether one unit will cover the full run you need — for longer or wider cable routes, multiple units or a heavier-duty bridging product may be more appropriate.

Well suited to hospitality and catering environments where temporary or semi-permanent cable runs are common, including kitchens, function rooms, and service areas. If you are covering a permanent installation or a high-traffic loading route, it is worth discussing the right specification before purchasing — the team is happy to help.

This COBA GRP stair nosing is a one-metre length of glass-reinforced plastic edging, finished in high-visibility yellow with a silicon carbide grit surface. It is designed to be fixed to the leading edge of stair treads to improve grip and define the step edge clearly, particularly in areas where lighting is poor or where floors are subject to wet or greasy conditions.

In commercial kitchens, food production facilities, and hospitality back-of-house areas, stairways are among the more commonly overlooked slip hazards. Spillages, condensation, and heavy foot traffic all contribute to the risk, and unprotected step edges compound the problem. A silicon carbide surface provides a reliable, aggressive grip underfoot that holds up well under sustained use without wearing smooth quickly.

The yellow colouring serves a practical purpose beyond aesthetics — it gives staff a clear visual reference for the step edge, which is particularly useful in cellar stairways, loading areas, or anywhere lighting is variable. The GRP construction means it is resistant to moisture and unlikely to corrode, which is relevant in environments where metal fixings and fittings can deteriorate over time.

• Suitable for retrofit installation on existing stair treads
• High-visibility yellow finish aids step edge identification
• Silicon carbide surface maintains grip under wet or greasy conditions
• GRP construction resists moisture and corrosion in commercial environments
• Lightweight at 600g per metre, straightforward to handle and cut to fit where needed

This nosing is well suited to kitchens, food production sites, pubs, hotels, and similar premises where stair safety is a compliance concern. For wider stair configurations or higher-traffic areas, it is worth considering whether additional lengths or a heavier-duty profile would be more appropriate.

The COBA Yellow Ramp Strip is a purpose-made edging accessory designed to create a safe, gradual transition between a flat floor surface and a raised rubber anti-fatigue or safety mat. Without a ramp edge, mat borders present a genuine trip hazard in busy kitchen and food service environments — particularly during service when staff are moving quickly with hot food or heavy loads. This strip addresses that directly by forming a low-profile ramp onto the mat surface.

In practical terms, it also makes movement easier for staff using trolleys or wheeled equipment, allowing smooth passage over the mat edge rather than an abrupt step up. The strip features a perforated end section, which allows it to be cut and trimmed to fit corner angles or irregular installations without specialist tools.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Reduces trip hazard at mat edges in high-footfall areas
• Allows easier trolley and wheeled equipment access over mat borders
• Perforated end enables on-site trimming to fit corners and angles
• Easy to clean and maintain alongside the mat itself
• High-visibility yellow colouring aids hazard awareness

Installation requires no fixings or adhesives — the strip sits against the mat edge and is held in position by foot traffic and the mat itself. It is worth confirming compatibility with your specific mat model before ordering, as ramp strips are typically designed to pair with a corresponding mat range.

This strip is well suited to commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, restaurants, and any other catering environment where rubber safety mats are in use. If you are unsure whether this strip is compatible with your existing matting, our team are happy to help you confirm the right match before you order.
