Workwear


What to wear? One of the first decisions we make each day is what to wear. Consideration must be given to the activities ahead, whether to go smart or casual, and the comfort factor is always important. If you work in construction it is of even greater importance to


choose suitable clothing. Those working on outdoor building sites need to think about clothing that will keep you warm and dry in the winter and cool and comfortable in the summer. Safety is of great importance and clothing, footwear and headgear needs to be durable and adhere to strict safety standards. Breathable fabric, lightweight, yet warm, quick to dry fabrics are available in the ranges made by many of the manufacturers. Working indoors is also a challenge and clothing often needs to be suitable for moving from indoors to out.. Thought needs to be given to protection against dust, noise and eye damage, so goggles, masks and ear protectors are also necessary additions to the workman’s wardrobe. Many companies offer a full range of stylish good quality workwear


with accessories to complete all safety requirements. Information on the latest products on offer can be found on the following pages of ToolBUSINESS+HIRE Magazine
