Protective workwear and body equipment designed to shield workers from environmental hazards, chemicals, heat, and low visibility.
Body protection encompasses a wide range of garments, from basic cotton coveralls for general work to specialised suits for hazardous environments. These garments serve as the primary barrier between the worker's body and external hazards like chemical spills, flames, or mechanical abrasion.
Selecting body protection requires understanding the working environment. High-visibility gear is essential for sites with moving vehicles, while flame-retardant or acid-resistant clothing is mandatory in specific industrial processes to prevent life-threatening injuries.
Each line below explains what it is, where it is used, and what to include in your enquiry so we can quote accurately.
Designed for handling hazardous liquids, these suits are made from PVC or specially coated fabrics that prevent acid and chemical penetration.
Buying noteSpecify the concentration and type of acids or chemicals to ensure the material provides adequate protection.
Standard workwear for general industry, providing full body coverage against dirt, grease, and minor abrasions. Available in various weights and fabric blends.
Buying noteConsider the fabric weight for the climate; lighter weights are better for high-temperature environments.
Reflective vests ensure workers remain visible in low-light conditions or near moving machinery and vehicles. They feature fluorescent backgrounds and retro-reflective tapes.
Buying noteEnsure the class of vest matches the risk level and speed of nearby traffic.
Used for targeted front-of-body protection against splashes, heat, or abrasion. Materials range from heavy-duty leather to chemical-resistant plastics.
Buying noteChoose the material based on the specific splash or heat hazard present in the task.
FR clothing is designed to resist ignition and self-extinguish when the heat source is removed, protecting the wearer from flash fires and electric arcs.
Buying noteProvide the required arc rating or thermal protection level based on your site safety audit.

Quick answers about sourcing body protection.
Treated fabrics have a chemical finish to provide fire resistance, while inherent fabrics are made from fibres that are naturally fire-resistant.
Wash according to manufacturer instructions and replace the garment if the reflective tape becomes worn or the fabric loses its fluorescence.
Some are designed for multiple uses if properly cleaned, while others are limited-life; always check the manufacturer’s data.
Yes, but for FR or chemical protection, the outer suit must be correctly sized to fit over the inner layers without compromising the seal or movement.
