Within modern industry and business there is now a need for work wear that not only is protective but also can be identified to a company brand. There is also a need for uniform that is personalised to a company, even if it is just for promotional purposes. T-Shirts, sweaters, trousers, jackets and shirts can all be either printed or embroidered to suit your company needs and give good brand identity.
If the items are for a uniform there are certain regulations that you have to consider, The Personal Protective at Work Regulations act 1992 covers protective clothing and footwear within the workplace. The first thing to do is a risk assessment to identify if safety clothing or footwear is required within the workplace; it is sometimes a good idea to bring in a specialist company to do this for you. Things such as the handling of sharp or hot objects will determine whether protective clothing is required, or maybe visibility is an issue, in which case hi-visibility clothing needs to be carefully considered.
With regards to protective footwear the issues that need to be addressed are whether you are handing heavy goods or if there could be a problem with stepping on something sharp such as glass or nails. If you are handling heavy goods then there is a case for crushing so safety boots with safety caps must be worn, if there is a case for stepping on something sharp then a safety boot with a mid sole would be required. Safety boots come in two sorts of protection, composite and steel. Steel is generally the most robust but is also the heaviest; composite is lightweight and can be made from Kevlar, carbon or plastic. Composite can be used when metal detection devises are in place such as airports as it will not set any alarms off like steel.
It is important that once you have made an assessment that you have the uniform provided customised to your business, it always looks nice when staff in certain sectors have matching t-shirts and sweaters that contain your logo and company message, this way people can identify your brand and the image you want to portray. This makes for a professional look and could be something that sets you from your competition.
There are many companies who offer this service but you want to make sure that they can provide not just clothing but also footwear so you have the complete package rather than having to search around. Once you have found the company you want to use they will be able to offer good professional advice to make sure that you’re uniform and footwear are exactly what you need.
