Disposable Workwear

Protective clothing comes under the umbrella of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) & Workwear, which is designed to ensure the safety of workers and visitors alike in a variety of environments and applications. Protective clothing is a crucial part of daily protection in some workplaces, protecting the user from hazardous materials and/or chemicals, contamination, liquid splashes, dirt, dust, oils, high/low temperatures and heavy equipment.

Our range of protective clothing includes products from trusted brands such as Dickies, 3M, Kimberley Clark, Alpha Solway, Delta Plus and our very own trusted, quality brand, RS PRO. We pride ourselves for supplying leading protection that meets the required safety standards across several industries, including construction, utility, engineering, mining, manufacturing, health, education and more.

What is the importance of using protective clothing?

Protective clothing in all its types exists to prevent injury and/or harm coming users on all parts of the body including the head, face, hands, arms, feet and the torso. There are different types of equipment and clothing available depending on the tasks or hazards the wearer will be exposed to, such as flame-retardant, chemical-retardant, antistatic and anti-abrasion.

Even though it is most clearly seen on construction sites in the forms of hi-vis, head protection and protective footwear, protective clothing is not just used on work sites. The vast array of products that fall under protective clothing also includes workwear used in: the hospitality and food industries to prevent cross-contamination and infection, chemical industries to prevent clothing damage and personal injury, and many other industries such as automotive, decorating and mechanical to protect skin and clothing from any fluids that may stain or cause irritation.
