Industrial workwear can make a big difference to the productivity and effectiveness of employees. As physical activity is normally a bigger part of the working day then comfort and flexibility are important factors to be considered, as well as prevention of chaffing and flammability. However, early protective clothing did not see some of these factors as worth looking at, as safety was seen as an overriding factor. As a result staff have had to endure various obstacles over the years such as inflexible fire resistant garments, stiff unforgiving materials and ill-fitting equipment in order to secure their safety at work.

Thankfully, modern advances in design and the appearance of advanced technical fibres have seen a sea change in how protective clothes are made. Now we have products that are breathable, made in a variety of materials that are softer and flexible, and won’t break the bank when it comes to cost.

We now have garments produced from lightweight fleece, poly/cotton fibres and adaptable plastics that protect against wind, fire and water. With everything that is now available now is a good time to have a look at updating what you use in the workplace.

Remember that when you select a product for comfort and safety it is vital to be aware of the demand of your working situation so that it will do the job properly. So if you are a bricklayer or carpet fitter than trousers with enough pockets and knee pads. Alternatively, if working outside the clothing you select should reflect the changing temperatures you expect to face, whether hot or cold. Irrespective of the area you work in Brookes will have the solution.

Employees will be ready to face the day, knowing they have the right clothing to keep them safe so they can get the job done, whether its mechanics in coveralls, aprons to protect kitchen staff from spills, or a bodywarmer for working in the garden.

Your industrial workwear can even be personalised with a company name or logo thanks to our in-house personalisation service. So remember to check out the website for all your work wear requirements, quality, choice and cost effectiveness all in one place
