NIGP 34566 Lockout And Tagout Safety Kits And Supplies, an Item code, covers personal protective equipment and safety supplies that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for departmental operations. Recent solicitations show municipalities buying safety boots, vests, eyewear, first aid kits, gloves, hard hats, hearing protection, and related PPE products that comply with OSHA requirements and carry UL listings where applicable.
