Workplace safety is not a luxury – it’s the law and SafetyQuip is a market leader in the national B2B distribution of workplace safety products and services.
One Stop Safety Shop
We offer much more than just hard hats and safety boots.
SafetyQuip’s product offering includes a huge range of personal protective equipment, products like protective clothing, respirators, welding masks, cut resistant gloves, height safety harnesses and site safety products.
But I Don’t Have A Background In Safety!
Don’t worry. SafetyQuip’s franchisee training is comprehensive and on-going. It prepares you to approach your customers with confidence. You have direct access to the National Support Team who will provide answers to questions on every aspect of your business – including technical safety advice. You also have 24/7 access to a library of training modules with new modules being added and updated to reflect changes in legislation and trends in the marketplace.
Start Small – Grow Big
Structure your SafetyQuip business using one of our flexible start-up models.
Start affordably with a single fully-stocked Mercedes Sprinter sales van then expand to a permanent base of operations - a trade shop - within 12 months. Or if you have the capabilities, and ambition, you may choose to develop your mobile and trade shop business in tandem.
Whatever start-up model you choose you have the option of further expanding your business within your generous geographic territory by putting more sales vans on the road and/or extending your reach with multiple satellite shops with additional mobile reach around them. And best of all you can do so without paying an additional franchisee fee.
Join The Team That Makes A Real Difference!
SafetyQuip franchisees go to work each day knowing that what they do, the products they sell, and the advice they give may make the difference between a safe outcome in a workplace incident and a sad statistic.
Why us
In The Beginning
The first SafetyQuip opened its doors on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast in 1992. SafetyQuip’s founder, Gary Shearer, spent the next 10 years developing and perfecting the SafetyQuip business model, building solid relationships with leading manufacturers and wholesalers, and establishing SafetyQuip’s reputation as the business to turn to for expert safety advice, unrivalled customer support and top-brand safety products. By 2002 SafetyQuip was ready to expand with its first franchise in Slacks Creek Brisbane. Since then SafetyQuip has grown to include a national network of 15 branch locations in all mainland states.
