Safety Supply Vending

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Vending Machine

Background & Objective:

Argonne is occupied by thousands of workers and visitors, of which in majority are required to wear one or more form of PPE for their daily jobs. We strive to provide these workers with the appropriate, high quality PPE through processes that allow for minimal interruption to their work. To meet this standard of quality however, newly procured PPE must go through a series of approvals which can slow down laboratory work and research. Creating a stock of frequently used PPE and offering a method for all site occupants to seamlessly obtain items required for their work will reduce spending costs, increase productivity and enhance worker safety.Background & Objective:
