Within modern industry and business there is now a need for work wear that not only is protective but also can be identified to a company brand.

There is also a need for uniform that is personalised to a company, even if it is just for promotional purposes. T- Shirts, sweaters, trousers, jackets and shirts can all be either printed or embroidered to suit your company needs and give good brand identity.

If the items are for a uniform there are certain regulations that you have to consider, The Personal Protective at Work Regulations act 1992 covers protective clothing and footwear within the workplace. The first thing to do is a risk assessment to identify if safety clothing or footwear is required within the workplace; it is sometimes a good idea to bring in a specialist company to do this for you. Things such as the handling of sharp or hot objects will determine whether protective clothing is required, or maybe visibility is an issue, in which case hi-visibility clothing needs to be carefully considered.

Many companies often overlook the promotional aspects of using their own work wear and safety wear to display their logo or company message, even if they have their team travelling the country, day after day and week after week. Every chance a company has to get its brand across should be taken, and we look at a few ways in which you can use your company clothing items to really get the message across.

With every bit of advertising space now costing more and more, quite a few companies overlook the fact that they have a team of employees wearing bland and plain clothing, whereas with a little bit of thought and inspiration, you could use your company uniform to help promote your business, your brand and your company message.
