ESCR Program for PPE

The Government of Canada’s Essential Services Contingency Reserve (ESCR) program provides eligible businesses or organizations with access to personal protective equipment (PPE) and critical supplies to address short-term needs and protect workers at absolutely no cost.

Recently the ESCR program has been expanded to include all other services and organizations in need of PPE. You can now order PPE supplies at no cost. Items available for order include medical gowns, nitrile gloves, KN95 respirators, face shields, high level masks, disposable non-medical masks, safety goggles, disposable coveralls, gowns, boot covers and Tyvek suits.
