Safety & First Aid

The HMSO Accident Report Book is a standard A4 format book used to record details of workplace injuries and incidents in line with UK reporting requirements. It provides a straightforward, compliant method for logging accident information, helping businesses maintain accurate records and meet their legal obligations under health and safety legislation.

In a commercial kitchen environment, keeping a proper written record of accidents is not optional — it is a legal requirement and a practical necessity. Whether it is a minor cut, a slip on a wet floor, or a more serious incident, having a dedicated, up-to-date book on site ensures records are captured consistently and are available for inspection if required. This version is current and compliant, so operators can be confident they are not using an outdated format.

• Current, compliant format meeting UK HMSO requirements
• A4 size — easy to store in an office, back-of-house, or first aid station
• Clear layout for recording incident details accurately
• Suitable for use across catering, hospitality, and food production sites
• Lightweight and straightforward — no training required to use

This is a practical administrative requirement for any site with staff. It is well suited to restaurants, hotels, contract catering operations, schools, and care facilities — anywhere with a duty to record workplace incidents. VAT is chargeable on this item.

If you are putting together a broader first aid or safety compliance kit for your site and are unsure what else you need alongside this, the team is happy to advise.

The Bolero Standard Hotel Room Safe is a compact, battery-operated security safe designed for in-room use in hotels, serviced apartments, and similar guest accommodation. Constructed in steel with a black finish, it gives guests a straightforward means of securing valuables such as passports, cash, and small electronics during their stay.

The front keypad allows guests to set their own 3 to 6 digit access code on arrival, which clears between stays. A soft carpet lining on the interior base helps prevent scratches to items stored inside. Two override keys are included for staff emergency access, which is a practical requirement in any managed accommodation setting. A low battery indicator gives advance notice before power is lost, reducing the risk of a lockout during a guest's stay. The unit runs on four AA batteries, which keeps installation straightforward and avoids the need for mains wiring.

In operational terms, the key advantages are:

• No mains wiring required — battery-powered for flexible placement
• Guest-programmable code resets cleanly between stays
• Override keys supplied for housekeeping or maintenance access
• Carpet-lined interior reduces damage to stored valuables
• Suitable for wall or floor fixing, with fixings included

At this size, the safe is well suited to standard hotel rooms and budget to mid-range properties where a practical, easy-to-manage in-room security option is needed. Properties with more complex security requirements, or those seeking larger-capacity models for suites, may want to consider higher-specification alternatives within the range.

If you are fitting out multiple rooms or have questions about the right model for your property, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This is a self-adhesive no smoking sign finished in stainless steel, designed for straightforward mounting on doors and walls in commercial and hospitality environments. It meets the practical requirement for clear, visible no smoking notices in workplaces and public-facing premises under UK smoke-free legislation.

The stainless steel finish holds up well in the kind of environments where hygiene and durability matter — kitchens, back-of-house corridors, staff areas, and customer-facing entrances. It resists moisture and surface grease better than paper or standard plastic alternatives, and the self-adhesive backing means no fixings are required.

• Stainless steel face for durability in high-humidity environments
• Self-adhesive backing for tool-free installation
• Suitable for doors, walls, and smooth flat surfaces
• Lightweight and unobtrusive
• Appropriate for customer-facing and back-of-house locations

Positioning is straightforward — the sign should be placed at eye level on the most-used entry points to a space. The adhesive backing works best on clean, dry, non-porous surfaces. If the surface is textured, painted with a soft emulsion, or subject to frequent cleaning with strong degreasers, it is worth checking surface compatibility before permanent application.

Well suited to restaurants, cafés, hotels, pubs, contract catering facilities, and any commercial kitchen environment where compliant no smoking notices are required. If you need allergen signage, hygiene notices, or other safety signs alongside this, our team can help you identify what else may be needed for your site.

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.

This is a straightforward self-adhesive vinyl sign intended for display at hand wash basins in commercial kitchens and food preparation areas. It carries a clear "Hand Wash Only" message, helping to distinguish dedicated hand wash sinks from those used for food preparation or equipment rinsing — a distinction that matters both for day-to-day hygiene practice and for compliance with food safety requirements.

In busy kitchens, it is not uncommon for staff, particularly during service or induction, to use the nearest available sink without considering its designated purpose. A clearly visible sign at the point of use is a simple, low-cost way to reinforce correct practice without relying solely on verbal instruction or training documentation.

The vinyl construction is practical for a kitchen environment — it can be wiped down as part of routine cleaning and is resistant to the moisture and steam typically present near sink areas. The self-adhesive backing means installation requires no tools and takes a matter of seconds.

This sign is suited to any commercial kitchen, food preparation area, or food service environment where sink designation needs to be clearly communicated to staff. It is equally appropriate for catering colleges, care homes, pubs, restaurants, and food retail settings.

If you are putting together a broader set of hygiene or food safety signage for a new kitchen fit-out or a compliance review, it is worth speaking with us to make sure you have the right notices in the right locations.

This Jantex rubber floor mat is designed to reduce fatigue for staff who spend long periods standing in one place. Weighing 8.5kg and made from solid rubber, it sits flat and stays in position without curling or shifting during service — a common failing with lighter alternatives. The anti-slip underside is particularly important in wet areas where floors become hazardous.

In practice, this mat is most commonly used in front of sinks, dishwasher stations, behind bars, and in prep areas where staff are on their feet throughout a shift. The cushioned construction takes the edge off hard tile or concrete floors, which makes a real difference over the course of a long service. It can be lifted, hosed down, or machine washed, which keeps it hygienic without much effort.

• Cushioned rubber construction reduces leg and lower back fatigue during long shifts
• Anti-slip surface and underside for use in wet and splash-prone areas
• Easy to lift, wash, and return to service with minimal downtime
• Durable rubber material holds up to regular cleaning and heavy foot traffic
• Suitable for sinks, bar stations, dishwash areas, and general prep zones

One point worth noting: this mat is not suitable for use on Altro flooring, as the rubber backing can react with certain safety floor surfaces. If your kitchen or bar area uses Altro or a similar coated safety floor, you will need to confirm compatibility or consider an alternative mat type before purchasing.

At 1500 x 900mm it covers a practical working zone in front of most single or double sink stations. For longer runs — such as a full bar counter or extended prep line — multiple mats laid end to end is the usual approach. Smaller versions are available for tighter spaces.

If you are unsure which mat configuration suits your layout or floor type, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

This fire exit sign displays a right-pointing directional arrow to guide staff and visitors towards the nearest exit in the event of a fire. Made from self-adhesive vinyl, it can be applied directly to walls, doors, or other flat surfaces without fixings or specialist installation.

UK fire safety legislation requires that escape routes are clearly signed throughout commercial premises, including kitchens, dining areas, and back-of-house spaces. This sign helps operators meet that obligation in areas where the exit direction is to the right. It is a straightforward, low-cost item, but an important one — poorly signed premises risk both regulatory non-compliance and unnecessary danger during an emergency.

Practical points worth noting:

• Self-adhesive backing for quick, tool-free application to clean flat surfaces
• Vinyl construction is wipe-clean and suitable for kitchen environments
• Sized for clear visibility at corridor and doorway level
• Left-arrow and straight-ahead variants are available where routes require them

This sign suits most commercial catering and hospitality premises — restaurants, cafés, hotels, staff canteens, and similar environments. For larger sites or multi-storey buildings, a full signage audit is worth carrying out to confirm the correct number and placement of signs throughout the escape route.

If you are unsure which combination of signs your site requires, our team is happy to assist.

This wall-mounted cabinet is designed to house an automated external defibrillator securely in an indoor commercial environment. It is a passive piece of safety infrastructure — its job is to keep the device protected, clearly visible, and immediately accessible whenever it is needed.

The cabinet is constructed from powder-coated steel with a toughened glass door panel. The glass front means the AED inside can be identified at a glance without opening the cabinet, which supports routine checks and helps anyone responding to an emergency locate the device quickly. Opening the door triggers an audible alarm, alerting nearby staff to the situation and discouraging unnecessary or accidental access at other times. For day-to-day security, the cabinet locks with the keys supplied. In an emergency, a quick-release push-button allows immediate access without delay.

From an operational standpoint, the enclosed steel construction keeps the AED in clean, dry conditions — important for maintaining the device in a state of readiness over time. Key practical advantages include:

• Audible alarm on door opening draws immediate attention in an emergency
• Quick-release push-button removes any delay accessing the device
• Toughened glass door keeps the AED visible without opening the cabinet
• Lockable with supplied keys to deter unnecessary access
• Enclosed steel body protects the device from dust and moisture

This cabinet is intended strictly for indoor use. It should be wall-mounted in a prominent, unobstructed location — at a height and position that staff can reach quickly. It is well suited to commercial hospitality premises, kitchens, leisure facilities, offices, and similar environments where an AED is required to be on site. It is not rated for outdoor or exposed locations.

If you are unsure whether this cabinet is compatible with the specific AED unit you are using, or need guidance on positioning within your site, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.

This self-adhesive vinyl sign is designed to clearly identify a designated pot wash sink in a commercial kitchen environment. Simple and direct, it communicates sink allocation to all kitchen staff at a glance, helping to maintain the separation between pot washing and other sink uses such as food preparation or hand washing.

In busy kitchens where multiple staff are working across different tasks, clear sink labelling is a straightforward way to support hygiene protocols and reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Environmental health inspectors routinely look for evidence that sinks are properly designated and used correctly, making signage like this a practical part of any kitchen's compliance approach.

The vinyl construction makes it suitable for kitchen environments — it can be wiped down as part of routine cleaning and holds up reasonably well in areas where splashing is likely. The self-adhesive backing allows for straightforward application to tiled, stainless steel, or painted surfaces.

This sign is well suited to any commercial kitchen required to demonstrate clear sink designation — whether in a pub, restaurant, school, care home, or contract catering operation. If you need to label multiple sinks across a site, it is worth reviewing the wider range of hygiene and food safety signage available to ensure consistent labelling throughout.

If you have questions about which signs are required for your kitchen setup or are putting together a full signage kit, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

The Jantex Wet Floor Safety Sign is a free-standing, double-sided warning sign designed to alert staff and customers to slip hazards during and after cleaning. It is a straightforward piece of safety equipment with no moving parts or technical complexity — its value lies in being visible, stable, and easy to deploy quickly when a spill or wet surface needs marking off.

In a busy commercial kitchen or front-of-house environment, speed of response matters when a floor becomes wet. This sign can be opened and positioned in seconds, providing clear, visible warning from both directions of approach. When not in use, it folds flat, which helps keep storage areas tidy — a practical consideration in kitchens where space under sinks or in cleaning cupboards is limited.

• Free-standing design requires no wall fixings or additional support
• Double-sided so the warning is visible from either direction
• Folds flat for compact, tidy storage between uses
• Lightweight plastic construction makes it easy to carry and reposition
• Suitable for wet kitchen floors, washrooms, front-of-house and corridor areas

There are no installation requirements — this sign is entirely portable. It is suitable for kitchens, washrooms, service corridors, dining areas, and any other commercial space where wet floors present a slip risk. Most operators keep one near each mop station or cleaning trolley so it is always to hand when needed.

If you are equipping a larger site and need to know how many signs to stock, or have questions about your broader cleaning and safety setup, feel free to get in touch with the team.

This self-adhesive sink notice from Vogue is a straightforward hygiene signage solution designed to communicate designated sink usage to kitchen staff. Clearly printed with a Utensil Wash Only instruction, it is intended for display directly on or above a sink unit to prevent cross-contamination between utensil washing, food preparation, and handwashing areas.

In busy commercial kitchens, sink misuse is a common source of hygiene risk — particularly during peak service when staff are working quickly and shortcuts are tempting. A clearly visible, permanent sign at the point of use is a simple and practical way to reinforce the correct procedures without relying solely on verbal instruction or supervision.

The sign is self-adhesive, requiring no fixings or tools to install. It adheres directly to tiles, stainless steel, or other smooth surfaces commonly found around commercial sink areas. At 230 x 90mm, it is sized to be legible without dominating the workspace.

• Supports HACCP-compliant kitchen hygiene protocols
• Simple point-of-use reminder that requires no ongoing maintenance
• Suitable for all commercial kitchen environments including catering, hospitality, and food production
• Durable self-adhesive format stays in place on smooth surfaces

This type of signage is a standard requirement in most food safety audits and environmental health inspections. It is well suited to any commercial kitchen operating under food hygiene regulations, from small cafés through to high-volume production kitchens.

If you are reviewing your kitchen's hygiene signage requirements more broadly, our team is happy to help identify what is needed for your specific setup.

This is an HSE-compliant workplace first aid kit supplied ready-stocked for workplaces of up to 20 people. It contains the core items required under UK Health and Safety Executive guidance, including assorted plasters, medium and large dressings, eye pad dressings, triangular bandages, cleansing wipes, vinyl gloves, safety pins, and a guidance note. Everything is contained within a compact case that can be wall-mounted or kept in a accessible location on the kitchen floor.

In a commercial kitchen environment, having the correct first aid provision in place is a legal requirement, not an optional extra. Minor cuts, burns, and eye contamination are among the most common injuries in professional kitchens, and this kit is stocked accordingly. The eye pad dressings and cleansing wipes in particular are well suited to the risks present in a food preparation environment.

Key contents at a glance:

• HSE-compliant contents for workplaces of up to 20 people
• Eye pad dressings for contamination and impact injuries
• Assorted plasters, medium and large wound dressings
• Triangular bandages and safety pins for immobilisation
• Vinyl gloves and cleansing wipes for safe response

This kit is appropriate for smaller kitchens, front-of-house areas, and back-office spaces within a catering operation. For larger sites, higher-footfall production kitchens, or multi-location businesses, a higher-capacity kit or multiple units positioned across the site may be more appropriate. It is worth reviewing your headcount and site layout when deciding on provision.

If you are unsure what level of first aid provision your site requires under current HSE guidelines, we are happy to help you work through it.

The Health & Safety Law poster sets out the legal obligations of employers and the rights and responsibilities of employees under UK health and safety legislation. Displaying this poster in a visible workplace location is a legal requirement for most businesses, including commercial kitchens, catering operations, and food service premises.

This version is printed onto rigid PVC, which makes it more durable than paper or card alternatives in kitchen environments where heat, steam, and general handling can quickly degrade lighter materials. The A2 format ensures the text is legible without staff needing to stand directly in front of it, which is useful in busier back-of-house areas where wall space is limited.

• Satisfies the legal requirement to display Health & Safety Law information to employees
• Rigid PVC construction resists moisture and handling in kitchen conditions
• A2 size provides clear legibility in staff areas without taking up excessive wall space
• Suitable for fixing directly to walls in preparation areas, staff rooms, or back-of-house corridors

This is a straightforward compliance item, but it is worth considering where it will be positioned — it should be placed where all employees can reasonably access and read it, not tucked behind a door or obscured by equipment. If you have questions about your specific compliance requirements or need guidance on what else is needed for your site, the team is happy to help.

This is a straightforward stainless steel table sign displaying the word "Tea", designed for use in cafés, hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality environments where beverages are served at the table or counter. It is part of Beaumont's range of food and drink identification signs, intended to help guests and staff quickly identify what is being served.

The stainless steel construction makes it practical for front-of-house use — it resists the moisture and handling that comes with a busy service environment, wipes clean easily, and holds up well to daily use without showing significant wear. The compact footprint means it sits neatly on a tray, counter, or table without taking up unnecessary space.

• Stainless steel finish is easy to wipe clean between services
• Compact size suitable for table, tray, or countertop use
• Clear, legible labelling reduces confusion during service
• Durable enough for repeated daily handling in hospitality settings

This sign is well suited to operations that serve both tea and coffee and need a simple, consistent way to distinguish between them. It works equally well in self-service breakfast setups, conference catering, and table service environments. For operations needing a full set of beverage or condiment identifiers, it is worth considering the broader range to ensure a consistent look across the table.

If you are putting together a set of signs for a new opening or a refresh of your front-of-house setup, we are happy to help you work out what you need.

This is a large-format first aid kit from Beaumont, designed specifically for the catering industry and fully compliant with BS8599-1 — the British Standard governing workplace first aid kits. Compliance with BS8599-1 means the kit meets the contents and packaging requirements that Health and Safety regulators and environmental health officers typically expect to see during inspections.

In a busy kitchen environment, accidents happen quickly — burns from hot surfaces, cuts from knives, and slips are among the most common. Having a properly stocked, compliant kit to hand means staff can respond promptly and correctly rather than improvising with inadequate supplies. The contents cover the incidents most likely to occur in a catering setting, including burn dressings, assorted plasters, nitrile gloves, eye pad dressings, bandages, foil blankets, and resuscitation aids, among others. A guidance note is included to support first aiders who may need to refer to it under pressure.

Practical considerations for kitchen use include:

• Nitrile gloves included — suitable where latex sensitivity is a concern
• Burn dressings address one of the most common catering injuries
• Cleansing wipes support hygiene in food preparation environments
• Rigid plastic casing is wall-mountable and easy to locate quickly during an emergency
• BS8599-1 compliance supports HSE inspection readiness

The kit is housed in a lightweight plastic case and is sized for larger catering operations — typically kitchens with more than five staff or those operating across extended service periods. Smaller operations may find a medium-format kit more appropriate, and higher-risk or multi-site operations may wish to consider supplementary kits positioned at key stations.

If you are unsure whether this kit is the right size for your team or whether your current first aid provision meets current HSE guidance, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

This is a compact stainless steel table sign displaying a hot water warning, designed for use in commercial catering and hospitality environments. It serves a straightforward safety and communication function, alerting staff or customers to the presence of hot water at a station, service point, or table.

Stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for the demands of a working kitchen or front-of-house environment. It resists moisture, wipes down easily, and holds up to routine cleaning without deteriorating in the way that printed card or plastic alternatives can. For venues where hygiene standards and appearance matter, a metal sign presents better over time than a laminated or adhesive option.

• Stainless steel finish suits both back-of-house and customer-facing areas
• Easy to wipe down during routine cleaning
• Compact footprint suits countertops, service stations, and tables
• Durable enough to withstand a busy service environment
• Clear, single-purpose message reduces ambiguity at the point of use

At this size, the sign is well suited to individual service points, beverage stations, or anywhere a discreet but visible hot water warning is needed. It is not intended as a primary safety notice for larger hazard areas — for those applications, wall-mounted or larger-format signage would be more appropriate.

If you are fitting out a site and want to confirm the right combination of table signs and safety notices for your setup, the team is happy to help.

This is a straightforward self-adhesive vinyl sign intended to remind kitchen staff to wash their hands before handling food. It displays a clear, recognisable message and is designed to be posted at relevant points in a commercial kitchen — typically near sinks, food preparation areas, or staff entry points to the kitchen.

In busy kitchen environments, basic hygiene prompts are easy to overlook during service. Visible signage at the point of need serves as a reliable, passive reminder that supports good food safety habits without requiring any ongoing effort from management. It is a simple but practical tool for reinforcing hygiene discipline, particularly in kitchens with high staff turnover or where agency and temporary workers are regularly on-site.

• Helps reinforce handwashing compliance at food preparation stations
• Self-adhesive backing allows straightforward placement on most smooth surfaces
• Suitable for display near sinks, prep areas, and kitchen entry points
• Supports food safety procedures and due diligence records
• Lightweight and easy to reposition during a kitchen refit or clean-down

The vinyl construction is practical for kitchen use — it can be wiped down as part of a regular cleaning routine. Placement should be considered carefully; smooth, dry, grease-free surfaces will give the best adhesion over time.

This sign suits any commercial food handling environment — from small café kitchens to larger catering operations — where visible hygiene reminders form part of a broader food safety policy. If you are equipping a site and want guidance on signage requirements or the wider range of food safety signs available, our team is happy to help point you in the right direction.

This sign from Beaumont is designed to communicate legal serving requirements for wine by the glass, covering both 125ml and 175ml measures. Displaying this information is a standard requirement in licensed premises, and having a clearly legible, permanently mounted sign in the service area keeps staff and customers informed without ambiguity.

The plastic construction keeps the sign lightweight and easy to position, and the black board with gold lettering offers reasonable contrast for quick reading at bar or counter level. At 170x110mm, it sits unobtrusively without taking up significant wall or surface space.

Practical operational benefits include:

• Supports compliance with licensing and trading standards requirements
• Clear lettering readable at typical bar viewing distances
• Lightweight plastic construction — easy to mount or reposition
• Compact footprint suits crowded bar back walls or service counters

There are no electrical or installation requirements. The sign is surface-mounted and, given its light weight, is suitable for most standard fixings. It is worth confirming with your licensing authority or compliance adviser exactly where signage must be displayed within your premises, as placement requirements can vary.

Well suited to pubs, restaurants, hotels, and any licensed venue serving wine by the glass. If you operate multiple service points or need a different format or size, it is worth checking whether a larger or multi-sign format would better meet your compliance needs.

If you have questions about signage requirements for your specific operation, the team is happy to help point you in the right direction.

This self-adhesive vinyl sign from Vogue displays the cook chill temperature control guidelines as set out under the 2006 Food Act. It is a straightforward, no-frills compliance aid designed to keep key food safety legislation visible at the point of need — typically near chilling equipment, food storage areas, or preparation surfaces where cook chill procedures are carried out.

In busy kitchens, staff turnover and the pressure of service can lead to temperature control steps being overlooked. Posting a clear, permanent reminder at the relevant workstation is a simple and cost-effective way to reinforce correct practice without relying solely on verbal instruction or training documents that may not be to hand. The vinyl construction is practical for kitchen environments, and the self-adhesive backing means it can be applied quickly to smooth, clean surfaces without additional fixings.

This sign suits any commercial kitchen operating a cook chill system — from small catering operations to larger contract or healthcare catering environments where due diligence records and visible food safety prompts are expected as standard. It is a modest addition to a wider food safety management system rather than a standalone compliance solution.

If you are putting together a broader range of food safety signage or hygiene reminders for a kitchen fit-out or compliance review, our team is happy to help identify what you need.

This black non-slip mat from Beaumont is a straightforward, practical accessory designed to sit inside 14-inch round trays. Its purpose is simple: to prevent glasses, cups, and bottles from sliding during transport, reducing the risk of spillages and accidents on the floor during service.

In a busy bar, restaurant, or hospitality environment, tray stability matters more than it might seem. When staff are moving quickly through a crowded floor, even minor surface movement can cause a drink to topple. This mat provides a modest but reliable degree of grip that helps keep tableware in place without slowing the pace of service.

• Fits standard 14-inch round service trays
• Non-slip surface reduces movement of glasses and bottles
• Lightweight plastic construction, easy to clean and replace
• Black finish suits most front-of-house tray styles

There is nothing complex about fitting or maintaining this mat — it sits directly into the tray and can be wiped down or washed as part of routine cleaning. At this size and weight, it is worth keeping a small stock to rotate through service.

This mat is best suited to bars, restaurants, cafés, and hotel food and beverage operations using 14-inch round trays as part of their front-of-house service. If your operation uses different tray sizes, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering in quantity.

If you are unsure which size or style of non-slip mat suits your tray stock, feel free to get in touch — it is a small detail that is easy to get right with a quick conversation.

The Rubbermaid Heavy Duty Kick Stool is a low-profile step stool designed for commercial environments where staff regularly need to reach shelving, racking, or overhead storage areas safely and quickly. It is a common sight in professional kitchens, storerooms, and dry goods areas where a full stepladder would be impractical during a busy service.

The stool's retractable castors are weight-responsive, meaning they retract automatically when a user steps on the platform, locking the stool in place on the floor. When you step off, the castors lower again, allowing the stool to be kicked or rolled to a new position without picking it up. This makes repositioning quick during a busy shift without creating a trip hazard between uses. Slip-resistant pads on the platform surface provide underfoot grip, which matters in kitchen environments where floors can be damp or greasy.

At 2.69kg, the stool is light enough to move around a kitchen without effort, yet the 158.8kg weight capacity means it is rated well above the load most operators will place on it. The compact footprint keeps it practical in tighter spaces such as walk-in stores or narrow dry goods aisles.

• Weight-responsive castors retract on contact for stable standing
• Compact and easy to reposition between tasks mid-service
• Slip-resistant platform surface suits damp kitchen environments
• Robust enough for daily commercial use with a 158.8kg rated capacity

This is a straightforward piece of kit, but if you are equipping a large site with multiple units or have specific flooring considerations, the team are happy to advise.

BurnSoothe is a single-use emergency burn gel designed to provide immediate first aid treatment for minor burns and scalds. The gel cools the affected area, helps to relieve pain, and creates a protective barrier that reduces the risk of contamination. It is non-adherent, meaning it can be applied directly without sticking to the wound — an important consideration in a fast-moving kitchen environment where calm, quick treatment matters.

Burns and scalds are among the most common injuries in commercial kitchens. Having a dedicated burn gel to hand — rather than relying on cold running water alone — allows staff to respond promptly and consistently, in line with standard first aid guidance. The compact 50ml size is practical for keeping in a first aid kit, on a kitchen pass, or in a catering manager's station.

A few points worth considering when stocking first aid supplies for a catering environment:

• Supplied singly — consider the number of staff and kitchen size when deciding how many units to keep in stock
• Non-adherent formula is suitable for direct application to burns and scalds
• Compact enough to fit within a standard first aid kit
• Helps cool and comfort while reducing contamination risk
• Single-use format supports hygiene standards in food environments

For busy kitchens or larger sites, it is worth reviewing your overall first aid provision to ensure you have adequate stock across all stations. If you are unsure what first aid supplies are appropriate for your kitchen size or team, we are happy to help you think it through.

This Kidde optical smoke alarm uses optical sensing technology to detect slow-burning, smouldering fires — the type most commonly associated with overheating materials, soft furnishings, and electrical faults. It is a straightforward, self-contained unit designed for premises where a reliable, low-maintenance smoke detection point is needed without the complexity of a full addressable fire system.

The sealed 10-year battery removes the routine of annual battery changes, which is a practical advantage in commercial and hospitality environments where maintenance schedules are busy and oversight of individual devices can lapse. When the unit reaches the end of its service life, it gives an end-of-life notification so replacement is not overlooked.

For operators fitting this in a catering or hospitality setting, it is worth considering placement carefully. Commercial kitchens generate significant heat and airborne grease particles, which can cause nuisance alarms with some detection technologies. This unit is better suited to back-of-house corridors, office areas, staff rooms, storage rooms, and front-of-house spaces rather than directly above cooking lines. Where detection is required within the kitchen itself, a heat detector is generally the more appropriate choice.

Installation is straightforward — the unit mounts to a ceiling surface and requires no mains wiring, which keeps it accessible for operators without the need to involve an electrician for basic placement. That said, any fire detection provision in a commercial premises should sit within a wider fire risk assessment, and placement should be agreed with your responsible person or fire safety adviser.

If you are unsure whether this unit is appropriate for a specific area of your premises, or whether additional detection points are needed, the team is happy to help you think it through.

This A4 self-adhesive vinyl sign displays clear, step-by-step hand washing instructions for staff in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and washrooms. It is a straightforward compliance aid designed to reinforce good hand hygiene practice at the point of use — typically mounted beside a sink where it is visible during daily service.

In busy kitchen environments, hand hygiene reminders are most effective when positioned where staff naturally pause. A well-placed sign near handwashing sinks helps maintain consistent practice across all shifts and reduces the risk of cross-contamination, which is particularly relevant during high-turnover service periods or when onboarding new staff.

• Self-adhesive vinyl backing for quick, tool-free installation on most smooth surfaces
• A4 format provides clear visibility without taking up excessive wall space
• Supports compliance with food hygiene and workplace health regulations
• Suitable for kitchens, washrooms, food prep areas, and front-of-house facilities

Installation is straightforward — clean the surface, peel, and apply. The vinyl material is practical for damp environments such as kitchen washrooms, though it is worth ensuring the surface is fully dry and grease-free before application to achieve a lasting bond.

This sign is suited to any food service operation, from small cafés through to large contract catering sites, where visible hygiene reminders are a required part of food safety management. If you are equipping a new site and want to discuss a broader hygiene signage setup, we are happy to help point you in the right direction.

This is a straightforward vinyl safety sign intended for display near deep fat fryers in commercial kitchens and food preparation areas. It provides visible operating guidance for kitchen staff, covering safe use of the fryer in a clear, accessible format.

In busy kitchen environments, staff turnover can be frequent and service pressure can lead to shortcuts. A clearly posted safety sign near the fryer serves as a consistent reminder of correct operating practice, reducing the risk of burns, oil fires, and equipment misuse regardless of who is on shift.

• Promotes safe operating habits at the point of use
• Helps reduce the risk of accidents caused by improper fryer use
• Supports staff induction and ongoing kitchen safety compliance
• Vinyl construction is practical for kitchen wall and equipment surfaces
• Compact format fits neatly in the fryer station without obstructing workflow

The sign is self-contained and requires no installation beyond fixing to a suitable surface near the fryer. Its compact size means it can be positioned directly at the workstation where it is most relevant. Vinyl is reasonably resistant to the heat and grease exposure common in frying stations, though placement away from direct oil splash will extend its lifespan.

Well suited to any commercial kitchen operating a deep fat fryer, whether in a restaurant, pub, school, or catering facility. It is a practical addition to any kitchen safety audit or compliance review. If you are putting together a broader set of kitchen safety signage or have questions about compliance requirements for your operation, the team is happy to help point you in the right direction.

This is the refill pack for the Beaumont small catering first aid kit — a replacement set of contents designed to restock the kit once items have been used, without the need to replace the box itself. All contents meet BS compliance requirements, making this a straightforward way to keep your first aid provision current and inspection-ready.

In a working kitchen environment, first aid kits get used. Plasters, cleansing wipes, and gloves in particular are consumed regularly, and an incomplete kit is a compliance risk as much as a practical one. Having a refill pack to hand means downtime between restocking and the next full kit inspection is kept to a minimum.

The pack covers the core categories a small catering kit requires:

• Burn dressing, eyepad dressings, and assorted plasters for common kitchen injuries
• Nitrile gloves and cleansing wipes for hygienic first response
• Conforming bandage, finger dressings, and triangular bandages for wound management
• Resuscitation aid, foil blanket, and Tuffcut scissors for more serious incidents
• Guidance note and safety pins included to maintain kit completeness

This refill is sized for the small Beaumont kit and is suited to lower-risk or smaller catering operations — a café, small restaurant, or ancillary kitchen space where the small kit format is appropriate. For larger operations or higher-risk environments, a medium or large kit and corresponding refill may be more appropriate to meet your obligations under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations.

If you are unsure whether the small kit format is the right fit for your site, or whether you need multiple kits across a larger premises, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

This is a self-adhesive vinyl caution sign designed to warn kitchen staff and others of hot surfaces in commercial food preparation and service environments. It carries a clear visual warning and is intended for permanent or semi-permanent fixture directly onto equipment, walls, or surfaces where a burn risk is present.

In a busy kitchen, hazard communication is easy to overlook until something goes wrong. Placing a clearly visible warning on or near hot equipment — ovens, grills, hot holding units, or heated passes — is a straightforward measure that supports safe working practice and helps meet health and safety obligations. The self-adhesive backing makes application quick and does not require tools or fixings.

• Self-adhesive vinyl construction for straightforward, tool-free application
• Suitable for use on equipment surfaces, walls, and cabinetry
• Provides a clear, visible hot surface warning in busy working environments
• Lightweight and easy to keep in stock for replacement as needed

Being vinyl, the sign is practical for most dry kitchen surfaces. It is worth considering placement carefully — surfaces that are frequently wiped down with strong chemical cleaners, or areas subject to heavy steam or grease, may reduce adhesion over time, so periodic checks are sensible.

This sign is well suited to any commercial kitchen, food preparation area, café, or hospitality environment where hot equipment is in regular use. It is a simple, low-cost way to meet basic hazard signage requirements at point of risk.

If you are unsure about your full signage requirements or need guidance on what warning notices are appropriate for a specific area of your kitchen, the team is happy to help.

This is a straightforward, self-standing table sign from Beaumont, finished in stainless steel and displaying a no smoking message. It is the kind of item that sits quietly on a table or bar surface doing a simple but necessary job — communicating smoking policy clearly to customers without requiring wall fixings or framed notices.

Stainless steel is a sensible material choice for front-of-house use. It wipes clean easily, holds up to the knocks and spills of a busy service, and does not mark or discolour the way plastic or printed card alternatives tend to over time. The finish sits comfortably alongside standard hospitality tableware without looking out of place.

For most operators, the practical considerations here are minimal. No installation is required — the sign is freestanding and ready to use straight from the box. It is light enough to reposition between services and robust enough to withstand regular handling by staff and customers alike.

This sign is well suited to restaurants, bars, hotels, cafés, and any licensed or hospitality venue that needs visible, durable compliance signage on tables or counters. It is a single-message item, so operators needing reserved, table number, or allergen signage would need to source those separately.

If you have questions about quantity requirements or signage for a larger front-of-house fit-out, the team is happy to help you think it through.

This lockable hazardous storage cabinet is designed for the safe containment of substances and materials that are hazardous to health — cleaning chemicals, sanitisers, and similar products that require controlled access and compliant storage. Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel throughout, it is built to withstand the demands of hygiene-critical environments including commercial kitchens, food manufacturing facilities, and healthcare settings.

In day-to-day operation, the cabinet provides secure, organised storage without taking up excessive floor space. The three-point locking system ensures that access is restricted to authorised personnel, which is an important consideration in any environment where COSHH compliance is relevant. The leak-proof sump at the base offers a practical safeguard against spills, helping to contain any liquid product before it reaches the floor.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:

• Three-point locking mechanism for controlled, restricted access
• 304-grade stainless steel construction — resistant to corrosion and easy to wipe down
• Three adjustable internal shelves for organised stock management
• Leak-proof sump to contain spillage at base level
• Chrome-plated handles suited to frequent use in damp or chemical-adjacent conditions

Installation is straightforward — the cabinet is freestanding and requires no fixed services. At 60kg, two people should handle placement and positioning, particularly in tight back-of-house areas. The 900mm width suits most storage corridors and dry-store configurations, though it is worth measuring access routes before delivery if your site has narrow doorways or tight turns.

This cabinet is well suited to catering operations, hotel housekeeping stores, food production facilities, and healthcare support areas where chemical storage needs to be both secure and auditable. Smaller single-door options are available for kitchens with more limited space requirements, and larger or multi-bay configurations may be more appropriate for higher-volume sites with significant chemical stock.

If you are unsure whether this cabinet meets your specific COSHH storage requirements or would like to discuss configuration options, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Phoenix 100-Key Cabinet is a wall-mounted steel key storage unit designed for sites that need to manage a large number of keys in an organised, secure, and auditable way. It holds up to 100 keys on adjustable hook bars, with matching numbered labels supplied so every key has a clearly identified home.

Access is controlled by a cylinder key lock, a straightforward and reliable mechanism that is well suited to back-of-house environments where a dedicated keyholder is responsible for access. Two keys are supplied as standard. The cabinet is finished in a durable powder-coated steel, which resists knocks and surface wear in busy working environments. Pre-drilled fixing holes allow it to be mounted flush to a wall, keeping it off worktops and freeing up space in offices, reception areas, or secure back-of-house rooms.

In practical terms, this cabinet suits operations where key accountability matters — hotels, pubs, care homes, schools, and multi-site hospitality businesses commonly use this type of cabinet at site or department level. The adjustable hook bars mean the internal layout can be configured to suit how your keys are grouped, whether by area, by function, or by shift.

It is worth noting that this is a key-lock rather than an electronic or combination model, so access management relies on physical key control rather than audit logging. For sites requiring a digital access record, a cabinet with an electronic lock would be more appropriate. At 100-key capacity, it is well suited to mid-sized operations; smaller or larger options exist within the Phoenix range if your requirements differ.

If you are unsure whether this capacity or lock type is right for your site, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
