MTC Training Branded Smock

Designed specifically for apprentices working in technical and engineering environments, the MTC Training branded smock provides essential protection and professionalism in the workshop. Made from durable fabric, it helps safeguard clothing and skin from dust, debris, and minor spills encountered during hands-on tasks. The smock also reinforces a sense of identity and belonging within the training environment, promoting safety and discipline. Wearing the smock is a requirement in the workshop to ensure compliance with health and safety standards and to maintain a clean and consistent working environment.

Safety Goggles

Safety goggles are a vital part of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the workshop, designed to protect the eyes from potential hazards such as flying debris, dust, and chemical splashes. For apprentices working with machinery, tools, or materials that pose a risk to eye safety, wearing goggles is essential to prevent injury and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. These goggles are durable, comfortable for extended use, and meet industry safety standards, making them a required item for all workshop activities.
