As face masks and personal protection equipment (PPE) look set to become standard requirements, companies around the World are going to be asking ‘where can I buy face masks and PPE for work?’ Thankfully the paperboard and packaging industry has shown, in its response to the Covid-19 pandemic, that it is innovative, adaptable and ready to support the global demand.
Whilst obvious attention is on the NHS and key workers it is likely that many sectors are going to be using face masks as a way to return to work. In the face of this demand and with the production facilities at its disposal the packaging industry is responding to the incredible global demand.
Whether it is the conversion of production lines normally making sandwich packs to make visors, machinery normally making drinks packaging making face masks or manufacturers prioritising sectors most in need, such as pharmaceuticals, the resilience and commitment of our industry has left me proud to be part of it.
Getting back to work with PPE and face masks
Whilst the schedule for the lockdown to end is still unclear, it is evident that many sectors will be using various forms of face masks and PPE to start operating as soon as they are allowed.

In recent news we can see across schools, the TUC, the HSE, local council tips and McDonalds the use of personal protection equipment is referenced by all as requirements for staff wellbeing.
With much of Europe now insisting on the wearing of face masks whilst in public it seems inevitable that the UK will follow in some sort of capacity. This will certainly put supplies of certified 3 ply masks under serious pressure and Chapelton will be doing our best to keep these products available to our customers to allow them to continue to work throughout this period.
Will people wear PPE face masks at work?
It may feel strange to wear PPE face masks on a building site, in a factory or even an office but like all change, it will become normal quickly. If it gets the economy rolling again then I’m sure everyone will be happy to follow the rules. I dare say it will even lead to some creative face shield ideas and solutions.
With the health services current requirement for many items of PPE currently being met, Chapelton now has certain items available that will enable our customers to return to work as soon and as safely as possible. In particular we have received many enquiries about how to buy face masks for work.
