Last place I worked at, the boss bought a load from the RHA catalogue, that was 5 years ago but i’m sure if there’s been any legislation changes they’ll be up to date. Seemed to have everything you’d need though and decent quality.

goggles,apron,gloves,drain pluggers,torch that works,flashing beacons for breakdowns,pvc suit for chemicals.

I thought it was warning triangles for breakdowns? Might be worth dropping Dieseldave a pm if you want the 100% correct answer, he’s the ADR Oracle

We get pretty much everything we need from them, if they have no kits they will have all the bits you need, sold individualy.

Your PPE depends on what you are carrying, rubber gloves may work for some chemicals, but PVC are much better Minimum is gloves, goggles, boots. Hi-viz EN471 vest.

You need instructions in writing, The carrier must supply PPE and the (IIW)
