Safety work wear and footwear has become an essential part a persons life, whether being in a dangerous profession or DIY enthusiasts. The reality is that keeping ourselves safe on the job is of paramount importance. Whether you're nailing up some shelves or on a building site having the right gear is essential.
So how safe is work wear?
Safety
work wear is solely designed to protect the wearer from any harm or dangers
within the work place or at home. It has become an essential necessity within
the law to protect and prevent any injury to employee’s and importantly the
avoidance of legal action.
Gloves
Whatever
work you are doing gloves are essential. For practical reasons there are a
variety of different styles and toughnesses to choose from. Gripped,
lightweight plastic gloves help protect the hands from chemicals whilst still
providing you with the ability to move. Cut resistant gloves help with light
tool work to protect the hands from injury whilst chain mail gloves protect the
hands from heavy power tools and chainsaws more effectively. Other gloves
protect from chemical burns or provide hand protection whilst keeping fingers
through for movement.

Boots
Heavy
duty boots help protect your feet and ankles from injury. The most common
safety footwear we use is steel toe caps. These help you protect your feet from
anything falling on them (and who of us hasn’t dropped a brick on our toes!).
There are a range of options available including ankle supporting for heavy
labour and low cut for easy motion.

Trousers
Safety
trousers are designed to be tough wearing and allow you to pad out certain
areas (particularly the knees). For anyone who spends a lot of time on their
knees this extra support keeps you protected whilst providing comfort. You can
get thick and thin trousers and ones with plenty of utility pockets -for all
the odds and sods that appear!

Safety
Jacket
Most
safety jackets are high vis to simply let people know you are around. They make
it easier to track people on the job and on the move at worksites. They are
particularly important for any large projects and for anyone working near roads
or traffic.
