PPE Vending
Anyone using vending machines for PPE & if so, who are you using as a provider? We don't have a large volume/sales so providers like Cintas & Grainger who want $30k & $14k/yr respectively, these don't look like we can utilize them. Fastenal & Dival Safety seem to be the best for smaller volume that I've found so far.

Yeah I've used Dival in the past - they always seemed to be more reasonable here in Rochester
We have used Fastenal, with close loop recycling

Professionally speaking; I would avoid Fastenal for PPE machines; I have used Grainger, Fastenal, Stauffer, and Dival; Grainger by far is the best ran, with a super easy to use portal; but between the two you mentioned; Dival would get my vote for sure.
I've used Fastenal at both places I've worked. I've had no complaints. They can also be a huge resource to your Maintenance team for maintenance related consumables.
vendingmachines.com, Ansell, and Kimberly Clark are less expensive.
I have not been a site manager for several years, so as a source I am a bit outdated for that. I would start asking you PPE suppliers.
I put PPE vending machines in 20 years ago! I was astounded by how much by PPE usage dropped! I use to dun a large main frame print out on who used what. I was several pages as I had a large plant. I left it on the corner of my desk to make people think I was watching! I seldom ever actually did so!
Make'em Think!
We use Fastenal. Been using them for years now. No complaints. Spend about $3,500/month on various products.
We use Arbill based out of Philly and Midwest. Great service and they have vending machines!
