A dealership service department deals with real hazards every day - flying debris, loud tools, flammable liquids, and oily waste. Safety supplies keep your team protected and your shop compliant. We carry safety glasses and ear plugs for everyday protection, plus FM-approved safety cans and oily waste cans built to OSHA and NFPA standards for safe chemical and waste handling.

What Are Safety Supplies?
Safety supplies are the everyday protective equipment and compliance gear a service department needs to keep employees safe and stay within OSHA and NFPA regulations. This covers eye and ear protection worn daily, plus safety cans and oily waste cans used to store and dispose of flammable liquids and oily materials without fire risk.
Types of Safety Supplies
Safety Glasses
ANSI safety glasses protect eyes from dust, debris, and flying particles. Construction safety glasses with a rimless design stay lightweight for all-day wear, while foam-padded versions add extra comfort and a better seal.
Ear Plugs
Corded ear plugs reduce noise exposure from tools and machinery, with the cord keeping a pair handy around the neck between uses. Foam ear plugs offer a soft, tapered fit for a secure seal.
Safety Cans
A safety can stores flammable liquids securely, with FM approval and UL/ULC listing to meet fire code requirements. Type 1 cans offer standard venting, while Type 2 adds an AccuFlow manifold for controlled auto-venting.
Oily Waste Cans
An oily waste can gives your shop a fire-safe way to dispose of oil-soaked rags and materials, preventing spontaneous combustion risk in the shop.
Cigarette Receptacles
A cigarette butt receptacle, or smoking receptacle, gives employees and customers a designated, self-extinguishing spot to dispose of cigarette butts outdoors - functioning as a fire-safe outdoor ashtray.
How to Choose the Right Safety Supplies
Task
Eye and ear protection should match the task - heavier machinery calls for stronger ear plugs, while dusty or particle-heavy work calls for a snug safety glasses fit.
Compliance
For flammable liquid storage or oily waste disposal, always choose FM-approved, OSHA and NFPA compliant containers to stay code-compliant.
Capacity
Waste and safety cans come in different gallon sizes - pick based on how much volume your shop generates day to day.
Location
Place a cigarette receptacle in a designated outdoor smoking area to keep butts off the ground and reduce fire risk.
Safety Supplies for Different Shop Needs
A small independent shop may only need a box of safety glasses and a can of ear plugs on hand. A larger dealership service department handling flammable liquids daily should stock FM-approved safety cans and oily waste cans in multiple sizes, along with bulk packs of glasses and ear protection for the whole team.
