Tailored Training and Support Solutions That Fit

Kitting out your crew with the right gear that fits is an important aspect of safety, allowing workers to feel protected and comfortable to get on with the job. Many businesses don’t realise that taking a standardised approach to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can compromise both worker safety and compliance with legal standards. 

According to work health  and safety regulations, PPE must be:

  • Suitable for the job's nature and hazards
  • Correctly sized and fitted
  • Reasonably comfortable for the wearer

Having PPE that fits increases wearer compliance, reduces risk, increases productivity and creates a more positive wearer experience.

Fiona Smith, the National Marketing & Communications Manager, explains, “Our mission to protect people drives us to deliver safety products and footwear that are both fit-for-purpose and comfortable for the wearer. This commitment is why we offer personalised approaches, including tailored training and support solutions.”
