PPE Policy

Buildforce PPE Policy

Updated over a week ago

At Buildforce, we are committed to the safety of all workers. While PPE may seem mundane and unglamorous, we take it very seriously. We proudly embrace the "Safety First" ethos and strive to provide our workers with the best PPE and safety equipment.


🦺 PPE Requirements

PPE is required safety equipment on any project or job in any field of work.

  • Hard Hat

  • Safety Vest

  • Safety Gloves

  • Safety Eyewear

  • Composite Toed Boots (Buildforce does not supply)


Picking up Your PPE

When onboarding with Buildforce, we will ensure that all electricians have the necessary PPE before their first day. If an electrician is missing PPE, we have a few options to help prepare for the upcoming employment.

Buildforce will not reorder any PPE within 6 months of the previous order.

OPTION 1 - 💡 Buildforce will order for you at your local Home Depot location

Home Depot will require you to bring your ID to pick up your items. After placing the order, it takes about 2 hours for them to gather the items. We'll let you know that the order is ready for pickup. Please keep in mind your Home Depot local hours.

OPTION 2 - 🚗 You pick up at a local Buildforce office

You pick up branded Buildforce PPE and Safety Equipment near a local office in Houston, Austin, or DFW.

OPTION 3 - 💵 Buildforce will reimburse you up to $50

Not located near an office? You can go ahead and pick up your PPE at your local store. Please submit an itemized receipt to support@buildforce.com. Once we have it and review it for accuracy, we will let you know when it has been added to your next paycheck.


Can I wear another company's PPE?

At Buildforce, we take company branding very seriously. Our policy is that all Buildforce sites contain only our logo or no logo, with no representation from any other company.

We recognize that this is a priority for many contractors, and we take steps to ensure that all logos remain consistent and exclusive to Buildforce. One example of such a measure is the Buildforce Sticker on a Hard Hat. These stickers are available at all Buildforce offices and can be used to cover any other company logos.

Once again, this is to maintain our community policy that only Buildforce logos will be visible on any Buildforce site. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and dedication to our core values. 🙏
