Workwear for Manufacturing
Manufacturing work often comes with risks, such as heat and chemicals to sharp materials and moving machinery. Our range is built to handle those conditions, with products chosen for their strength, protection and reliability.
We stock everything from protective gloves to hi vis, safety footwear, and everyday workwear essentials. All items meet relevant UK safety standards, giving you peace of mind on the job.
The exact workwear requirements will depend on the type of manufacturing you’re involved in, but typically includes:
- Safety footwear with steel or composite toe caps
- High visibility clothing where needed
- Durable clothing
- Protective gloves
- Eye protection
- Safety helmets
Manufacturing environments can involve a range of hazards, including heat, chemicals, sharp materials, and machinery. Suitable workwear helps reduce the risk of injury while also keeping workers visible and protected.
In the UK, there are specific safety standards that all workwear should follow to keep workers safe and reduce the risk of injury, for manufacturing, 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 if it becomes worn, damaged, or no longer provides the level of protection required.
High vis clothing may not always be required, it depends on the level of risk. If there are moving vehicles, machinery or low visibility conditions, then hi vis clothing is essential.
