ABOUT US

History 

National Safety Equipment is a division of National Shoe Ltd. which was born in 1939. Often we get asked "where in Canada are your other stores". The question is based in the assumption,  because our company has "National" as part of it's name, that we have locations across Canada. We delight in explaining we opened in Newfoundland, a British Dominion in 1939, our own little nation at the time. Since that time we remain a family owned business employing Newfoundlanders and Labradorians with deep roots in the province.

After supplying industries with safety footwear for many years, we opened our first retail safety store in 1989 in Corner Brook. We expanded our offerings to include the safety products and training focused on the needs of  the individual worker to keep them safe from the hazards of industrial job sites. We opened our second store in Goose Bay in 1998 . Our focus remained on the products that protect workers and meet the requirements of the every changing safety standards which govern today's modern work environment. 

Staff with years of experience,  quality products, competitive pricing and constantly evolving with our customers needs, have kept us a leader in the safety business in Newfoundland and Labrador. Which brings us to our latest evolution into the world of e-commerce. Our customers can see our in-stock inventory and order when it's convenient for them, any hour of the day and any day of the year. It's our goal and commitment to continue helping workers and industries in our province to be SAFE. Like our slogan says "get safety right the first time...... you may not get a second chance!"

Thank you to all our customers for letting us help you to come home safe!
