There is a specific fashion or dress code, if you prefer, on construction sites and in workplaces. The latest trends are also important here, but they are set by standards of safety and practicality, not appearance. What are you wearing for protection this season? Check it out - it's worth being up to date!
Workwear
What to wear to be visible, safe and resistant to weather conditions, and at the same time enjoy comfort and have a place to hide the most handy tools? We have some ideas!
High visibility jacket
We start our review of safe fashion with a high-visibility jacket . It is made of polyester coated with polyurethane, which protects against wind and precipitation, and also ensures visibility thanks to the fluorescent color and reflective stripes on the body and sleeves. A full range of sizes is available.
Work overalls
The main feature of workwear is its focus on practical values. The M2 polyester and cotton work dungarees have as many as eight pockets (including one tailor-made for... well, measuring tapes) and adjustable, elastic straps . They are durable and comfortable, and we dare say that for an installer they are as necessary a work tool as wrenches and screwdrivers.
Work T-shirt
A special work T-shirt? How does such a T-shirt differ from a regular T-shirt with your favorite graphic motif on the chest? It is made of high-weight cotton jersey mesh, which means it is not afraid of any work. Although with short sleeves, its health and safety value is practically non-existent, but that's not the point - you also need to wear a breathable undershirt under durable protective clothing , so as not to wear, for example, a jacket on your bare body.
Cut-resistant protective gloves
Protective gloves play more roles than you might expect. They not only protect your hands against contamination, but also against chemicals or mechanical injuries . These are particularly cut-resistant, so they are perfect for the hands (or rather the hands) of anyone who cuts something at work, e.g. an installer of surface heating systems or a tiler. Appropriate grip is ensured by coating with adhesive polyurethane.
Adhesive protective gloves
Sometimes protection against getting your hands dirty and proper grip is all we expect and require from protective gloves. This model delivers just that. And not much more, but sometimes that's exactly what is needed. And we like products that give the buyer simply what he pays for .
Safety work shoes
Work clothes will not be complete without safety shoes with reinforced toes. Unfortunately, things happen on a construction site or in a production plant, and the specificity of these places means that these things are not light. To avoid bruises and other injuries to the feet, especially to the toes, this type of footwear has a composite structure that protects against accidents resulting from the inexorable action of gravity.

Head protection - construction helmet, earmuffs, safety glasses
Protecting your head, eyesight and hearing is key when it comes to occupational health and safety. Below we present a selection of absolutely basic personal protective equipment for the "cognitive-decision center".
Protective construction helmet
Sometimes it is enough for work clothes to be comfortable and practical. Other times we expect it to provide visibility as well. However, there are situations when it must also guarantee safety in the workplace, and this is where a construction helmet (popularly known as a hard hat) comes in, all in... blue. It is made of HDPE (high density polyethylene), has smooth size adjustment (head circumference 53-63 cm) and is resistant to UV radiation . What more could you want?
Anti-noise earmuffs
If you want something more, maybe a set of anti-noise earmuffs ? The most important parameters for such a product, the attenuation level, is on average 23 dB (from 17 dB for low frequencies to ). Others include polystyrene canopy, height-adjustable ABS headband and low-pressure cushions , thanks to which the earmuffs can be worn for a long time without feeling of discomfort.
Earplugs (plugs)
For more immediate uses, soft, foam earplugs will suffice. Thanks to in-ear application, they are characterized by an even higher degree of noise reduction than earmuffs - as much as 37 dB. Due to their single-use nature, they are suitable, for example, for people visiting a given workplace or construction site once. The package contains 10 pairs, so it can serve a small group.
Protective glasses with a UV filter
Eye protection against UV radiation without darkening the image? This possibility is provided by safety glasses with a UV 400 filter and colorless lenses. Although it's difficult to talk about glasses here, because they are one-piece and made entirely of polycarbonate . The wide temples are equipped with ventilation and holes for attaching a string, thanks to which you can hang them around your neck after removing them, especially since folding them and putting them in your pocket is not an option.
