Safety clothing is crucial in the workplace. In addition to protecting workers from health and safety hazards, it reduces the likelihood of injury while ensuring a safe and harmonious environment for all.
Who Wears Safety Clothing?
Work clothing is worn daily by workers in these key industries:
- Construction
- Warehouses
- Laboratories
- Landscaping
- Security
- Catering
Safety clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn by anyone working in an environment where dust, gas, heavy objects, chemicals, biological agents, or falling debris may be present.
Protective Clothing: A to Z
Work clothing comes in many sizes, shapes, materials, and can have many features to ensure that the worker engaged in a specific task is adequately protected.
Today, many manufacturers offer state-of-the-art workwear. Lightweight, heat-resistant, high-visibility, and fully breathable materials provide comfort and safety, a necessity for workers who work long days in varying conditions.
How Do I Choose the Right Workwear?
1- Comfort: At work, the last thing you want to think about is your clothes! You need comfortable, tight-fitting work clothes: if the sleeves or sides are too long, you may have trouble performing your daily tasks. Oversized or ill-fitting clothes can be dangerous since they could easily catch on fire or get stuck in a moving machine.
2- Safety: It is essential to choose your safety clothing according to your work environment and tasks. They must be adapted and protect you against hazards. For example, if you work in a place where visibility is reduced, you will need to get high-visibility work clothing to signal your presence to your colleagues.
3- Durability: Some environments produce difficult working conditions. It is important that your work clothing is made of good quality materials so that it can withstand wear and tear, bad conditions and frequent washing without exposing you to the risk of accidents.
