A respirator isn’t enough to bridge the “Skin Gap.”

In construction and manufacturing, many view respiratory protection as the final line of defence. However, dermal absorption of toxins like silica and formaldehyde remains a critical pathway for occupational exposure. Contaminants settle on the skin and enter the bloodstream, significantly increasing the risk of occupational cancer.

With the 1st December 2026 deadline for new Workplace Exposure Limits (WEL) approaching, updating decontamination protocols is essential for WHS compliance and duty of care.

DeWipe Australasia offers the only 100% biodegradable decontamination wipes in Australasia where both the cloth and liquid are 100% biodegradable. Scientifically proven to remove 91% of harmful contaminants on a single pass*, our wipes are dermatologically rated “Excellent.”

*Single Pass as per ASTM D6661-17 methodology (a single back-and-forth motion using one wipe).*

Don’t leave skin safety to chance. Request a trial or site review to strengthen your safety standards.

We had an email outage early this morning and late yesterday afternoon, so if you sent an email and it bounced, this problem has now been resolved. Please re-send your email just in case, as we don't believe they were coming through at all, and are unlikely to arrive in our inboxes.

Sorry for the inconvenience, please call us on (03) 6424 9996 if you're still experiencing any issues.

At Rapid Supply, we’ve partnered with DeWipe Australasia to bring Tasmanian industry a smarter, proven approach to site safety.

Backed by ASTM D6661-17 testing, these wipes are engineered to remove lead and arsenic effectively in a single pass. Managing dermal exposure to heavy metals is a critical WHS priority. Fine particulates bond to the skin easily, increasing the risk of ingestion and take-home contamination if not handled properly.

Safety Protocol: Do not fold the wipe. Using the full surface area ensures maximum toxin entrapment and prevents re-contaminating the skin.

De-Wipe is currently the only supplier in Australasia offering 100% biodegradable wipes, helping you meet your duty of care while reducing environmental impact. They’re also dermatologically rated “excellent,” so you’re protecting both your people and their skin health.

If you’re looking to prioritise worker safety and environmental responsibility, get in touch with our team to organise a site review or trial.

A planned hardware upgrade on-site is likely to cause network disruptions from 2pm-4pm today (Thursday, April 9th), including our phone system. This means phone calls to our landline number will not connect, and we will have limited operating capacity during this time. Any emails received during this time will be responded to as soon as possible.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused, and look forward to a better working system as a result of these upgrades.
