HerPPE: Inclusive PPE for Women
As more women enter mining, construction, and other high-risk jobs, the need for female-specific safety gear has never been greater.
Traditional “unisex” PPE often leaves women with ill-fitting, uncomfortable equipment that can compromise safety. RealPPE’s HerPPE
initiative is changing that. We offer a curated selection of PPE designed for women – from safety boots contoured for a woman’s foot, to
adjustable harnesses and flame-resistant workwear tailored for the female form. By providing inclusive PPE for women, RealPPE champions
gender equality in the workplace. Women in trades no longer have to “make do” with gear that doesn’t fit; our HerPPE category empowers
them with equipment that is comfortable, certified, and made for the job. It’s PPE that works as hard as she does, ensuring every member
of your team is equally protected.

Smart Safety Solutions: Next-Gen Protection
Workplace safety is entering the digital age, and RealPPE is at the forefront of this innovation. Our platform introduces Smart Safety
Solutions – an emerging category of high-tech protective gear that blends wearable technology with traditional PPE. Think safety vests with
built-in GPS and fall sensors, helmets with collision detectors, or wearable devices that monitor vital signs and fatigue levels in real time.
These smart safety wearables and connected devices help companies prevent incidents before they happen by providing data-driven insights
and alerts. Whether it’s a connected gas detection monitor for a confined space entry or a proximity sensor to avoid vehicle accidents, this new
wave of PPE integrates with your safety programs for a proactive approach to risk management. RealPPE makes it easy to discover and adopt
these cutting-edge solutions, so your organization can stay ahead in safety innovation and protect your workforce like never before.

Sustainability & Circular Economy Initiatives
At RealPPE, we believe that safety and sustainability go hand in hand. We’re not only focused on protecting people, but also on protecting our
planet. PPE waste – from disposable masks and gloves to worn-out overalls and boots – has become a significant environmental challenge. In
line with global ESG goals, RealPPE is committed to driving a circular economy in the PPE industry. Our upcoming Recycling-as-a-Service
(RaaS) program is an ambitious initiative to reduce PPE waste and help clients recycle used gear responsibly. Through RaaS, companies
will be able to send back used or expired PPE for proper recycling or safe disposal, ensuring these materials are kept out of landfills and
potentially given a second life. This service will close the loop on PPE products and support ESG-aligned procurement practices – so when
you buy through RealPPE, you’re also making an environmentally responsible choice. It’s the future of PPE: protect your people, and protect the planet.
