Importance of 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.
