Safety & PPE
CoHub is a PPE supplier in the UAE and a safety equipment supplier in Dubai, holding head protection, hand protection, eye, face and respiratory protection, safety footwear, workwear and hi-vis clothing, and first aid and fire safety lines. HSE officers, site managers, contractors and facilities teams order by the carton and the pack, usually against a headcount rather than a shelf. Prices on this page are in AED and exclude 5% VAT, which appears as a separate line. Volume tiers cut the unit price as quantity rises, and a sales expert reviews and prices every order before it is confirmed. Payment is cash on delivery. The bilingual UAE Tax Invoice is issued after the order is paid and packed, and delivery runs across all seven emirates, same-week on stocked lines with same-day options in Dubai.

How to order and what to specify
Sizing and marking decide whether PPE gets worn. Gloves first: nitrile resists oils, fuels and many solvents better than natural rubber and avoids latex protein sensitivity, but disposable examination gloves and mechanical-risk gloves are different products. For cut, abrasion or puncture work, look for the EN 388 pictogram and its performance code on the glove or its box, and confirm the marking on the exact brand and batch with the sales desk before a compliance-critical order. Helmets next: vented shells are cooler on an open site but are not suitable where electrical insulation is required, so decide that before you order a box of 20. Check the harness type and whether a chinstrap is included. Hi-vis third: Class 2 and Class 3 differ in the area of background and retroreflective material, and Class 3 is normally specified for higher-speed traffic environments. The pack-size trap is sizing. Cartons and packs of 50 usually ship in a fixed size ratio, so send your actual size split with your quantity and the sales desk will build the quotation around it.
Why buy this category from CoHub
Human-reviewed quotations
Nobody ships a PPE order here without a sales expert reading it. Size splits, glove type and helmet configuration are checked against your request before the price is confirmed and the proforma invoice goes out.
Quantity moves price
Unit cost falls as you move up the volume tiers shown on this page. Kitting out a new crew or several sites at once is worth quoting as one basket rather than a series of small orders.
Invoiced after packing
Listed prices are net of 5% VAT, which is stated separately. The UAE Tax Invoice, in Arabic and English, is raised once payment is received and the order is packed, not at the checkout screen.
Delivered, paid on site
Goods reach sites in every emirate, and settlement is cash on delivery. Site teams in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or Ras Al Khaimah pay when the cartons arrive, against the proforma invoice already approved.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order quantity for PPE?
The listed sales pack is the floor: nitrile gloves by the carton of 10 boxes, ventilated safety helmets by the box of 20, hi-vis vests by the pack of 50. Below that, the line is not stocked as a loose unit. Combine several PPE lines to reach a higher tier instead of splitting a project into repeat small orders.
When do I receive a tax invoice for a PPE order?
After payment and packing, not at checkout. You first receive a proforma invoice in AED so HSE and procurement can approve the specification and the amount. Once the goods are paid for and packed, CoHub issues a UAE Tax Invoice in Arabic and English showing the net value and the 5% VAT separately.
Can you deliver PPE to a construction site outside Dubai?
Yes. Delivery covers all seven emirates, and stocked lines usually move within the same week, with same-day options inside Dubai. Give the sales desk the site name, gate access and a contact who can receive cartons, because a live site delivery differs from an office reception. Confirm the window when you approve the quotation.
Are your gloves and helmets certified to EN standards?
Certification belongs to the manufacturer of the specific item, not to the category page. Look for the EN 388 pictogram and performance code on mechanical-risk gloves, and the standard marking moulded into a helmet shell. Before any compliance-critical purchase, ask the sales desk to confirm the marking and documentation for the exact brand and batch you will receive.
How do I order the right sizes?
Send a size split with your quantity. Gloves in S to XXL and vests in M to 3XL do not consume evenly across a crew, and a carton supplied in a standard ratio will leave you short at both ends. The sales desk builds the quotation around your headcount by size, and adjusts the tier accordingly.
Can PPE ship with cleaning or office supplies?
Yes. Many facilities and HSE buyers consolidate PPE, janitorial consumables and stationery into one list, one human-reviewed quotation and one delivery. That keeps the paperwork to a single proforma invoice and a single UAE Tax Invoice, and the volume tiers are calculated across the combined basket rather than per category.
