Summary
PPE procurement for factories and contractors in Bintan should start from the hazards of each job, mapped to PPE categories and their standards: EN 397 for helmets, EN 166 for eyewear, EN 352 for hearing protection, EN 149 or EN 140 for respirators, EN 388 for gloves, EN ISO 20345 for footwear, EN 361 and EN 355 for fall protection and EN ISO 20471 for hi-vis. Add headcount, sizes, spares and the delivery point before requesting a quote.
Good PPE procurement starts from the hazards of each job, not from last year’s purchase list. For factories and contractors in Bintan, map the hazards of each work area to PPE categories, choose products that meet the right standard (for example EN 397 for helmets or EN ISO 20345 for footwear), then complete the list with headcount, sizes, spares and the delivery point before requesting a quote.
This guide is for HSE and purchasing staff in Bintan Industrial Estate (Lobam), Tanjung Uban, Galang Batang, Tanjungpinang, Kijang and Lagoi. It covers the PPE categories common on industrial sites, the standards to check, a purchase list checklist, vendor documents and how to order from Avenix.
PPE categories and standards
The table below summarises the PPE categories that factories, workshops and construction projects commonly need, with the European standards often used as a reference.
| Category | Example products | Reference standard | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head protection | Safety helmets | EN 397 | 440 Vac marking for electrical work, chin strap for work at height |
| Eye and face protection | Safety glasses, goggles, face shields | EN 166 | Lens type and impact protection level in the marking |
| Hearing protection | Earplugs, earmuffs | EN 352 | SNR value matched to the noise level of the area |
| Respiratory protection | FFP masks, half masks with filters | EN 149 (particle masks), EN 140 (half masks) | FFP1/FFP2/FFP3 class or filter type matched to the contaminant |
| Hand protection | Work gloves | EN 388 | Abrasion, cut, tear and puncture performance codes |
| Foot protection | Safety shoes | EN ISO 20345 | S1, S2 or S3 class and sole puncture resistance |
| Fall protection | Full body harnesses, lanyards with energy absorbers | EN 361 (harness), EN 355 (energy absorber) | Compatibility with anchor points and free-fall clearance |
| High-visibility clothing | Hi-vis vests, reflective workwear | EN ISO 20471 | Class 1, 2 or 3 according to vehicle traffic risk |
| Lockout/tagout (LOTO) | Padlocks, hasps, tags, valve lockouts, electrical lockouts | Follows the company’s energy isolation procedure | Padlocks per worker and types of isolation points |
A few short notes:
- Helmets: vented helmets are not suitable for electrical work. See the safety helmet guide for colours and markings.
- Footwear: EN ISO 20345 shoes have a toe cap tested at 200 J. Choose the class by floor conditions and puncture risk. See the safety shoes guide.
- Fall protection: the harness is only one part of the system. Anchors, lanyards and user training matter just as much. See the full body harness guide.
- LOTO: lockout/tagout equipment is used together with a written procedure. Read what is lockout/tagout.
PPE regulation in Indonesia
The Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Regulation No. PER.08/MEN/VII/2010 on Personal Protective Equipment sets out the types of PPE and requires employers to provide PPE that matches the hazards in the workplace. The PPE provided must comply with SNI or the applicable standard. Site-level details still follow the company’s and project owner’s safety policies.
PPE purchase list checklist
A complete purchase list makes the quotation faster to prepare and reduces revisions. Use this checklist.
- Headcount: count by role, area or shift. Separate permanent staff, contractors and visitors.
- Job hazards: record the main hazards per area, for example falling objects, noise, dust, chemicals, work at height or forklift traffic.
- Required standards: list the standards required by HSE or the project owner, for example EN 397, EN 388 with a specific cut level, or EN ISO 20345 class S3.
- Sizes: collect shoe, glove and garment sizes for each worker. Use the safety shoe and glove size guide to keep the data consistent.
- Quantities and spares: add spares for new workers, damage and consumables such as earplugs, masks and gloves. Set the percentage according to internal policy.
- Colours and identification: decide the helmet or vest colour split if the company uses a colour code.
- Delivery point: give the full address, recipient name, phone number and receiving hours. For industrial estates, include gate access rules if any.
- Target date: state when the goods are needed so the schedule can be confirmed in the quotation.
To build a kit per worker quickly, use the PPE kit builder. It helps you select PPE by job type, and the result can be added to your quote list. A general list of mandatory PPE is also available in mandatory PPE on site.
Vendor registration tips
Many factories in industrial estates require vendor registration before the first PO. To keep it smooth:
- Send the vendor form early, before the quotation is approved, so it does not delay the PO.
- Name the documents you need specifically, for example company profile, NIB, NPWP or company bank details.
- Make sure the company name and address on the PO match the data in your vendor system.
- Keep product technical documents, such as data sheets or standard certificates from the manufacturer, if your HSE team asks for them.
The Avenix company profile can be downloaded on the Vendor Documents page. Other legal documents such as NIB, NPWP or company bank details are sent on request via WhatsApp or email.
