A supplier is the entity that provides goods, equipment, or services to others. In the context of health and safety, it means someone who makes items or materials available to the organization, not just someone who creates or designs them.

The description that best fits this is the person who sells, rents, leases, erects, installs, or provides any equipment or even harmful substances or explosives. This covers the variety of ways a supplier can operate—supplying tangible items, installing or setting them up, or supplying materials that the organization uses, including hazardous substances when relevant. The other roles describe activities like manufacturing, training, or designing, which don’t focus on supplying to other parties, so they don’t capture the supplier role as accurately.
