At Alex Direct, we supply workwear built specifically for engineers working in challenging environments. With regular exposure to heat, sparks, sharp materials and heavy machinery, having the right workwear is essential for both safety and performance on the job.

Workwear for Engineers
Our engineering workwear range features trusted UK brands known for durability and protection in high risk settings. Designed to withstand tough conditions while still allowing ease of movement, our products support you through every task.
The range includes durable clothing, reinforced trousers, hi vis workwear, safety footwear and essential accessories.
Engineering environments often involve hazards such as heat, sparks, heavy equipment and sharp materials. The right workwear helps reduce the risk of injury and ensures you remain protected while carrying out your work safely.
The specific workwear you will need will vary depending on your engineering role, but typically you will need:
- Safety footwear with toe protection and slip resistance
- Durable, reinforced work trousers
- Flame or heat resistant clothing where required
- High visibility clothing for certain environments
- Protective gloves
- Eye protection
- Hard hats or safety helmets
In the UK, there are specific safety standards that all workwear should follow to keep workers safe and reduce the risk of injury, for engineering, they include:
- EN ISO 20471 for high visibility clothing
- EN ISO 20345 for safety footwear
- EN 388 for protective gloves
Workwear should be checked regularly and replaced as soon as it shows signs of damage or no longer provides the level of protection required.
If you’re working in environments with any heat, sparks or open flames, flame resistant clothing is essential. For lower risk roles, durable standard workwear may be suitable.
