Do your staff know who to turn to in the event of an emergency?
No one wants to think about an accident or the possibility of a fire happening. Though everything in hindsight, it’s best to be prepared for the worst. At Direct365, we provide an extensive range of courses and clothing to help your business stay compliant and your staff safe.
In this article, we’ll give an overview of the different types of protective clothing we have available. Your staff will recognise who’s in authority with regards to safety and evacuation concerns.
First Aider Workwear Clothing
Whatever the business. You must comply with the 1981 Health And Safety (First Aid) Regulations which state employers need to provide adequate first aid facilities, equipment and training.
Clothing makes a person. However, first aider gear is more functional than fashion statement. Make your member of staff recognisable as the first aider with this lightweight and comfortable to wear first aider jacket. Order yours today.
If your business is dimly lit; take warehouses, late-night construction and the like. A photoluminescent armband comes in plenty of handy. This material is brightly visible when brought into contact with any light source. Order yours today.
Fire Warden Workwear Clothing
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, states that employers must have a sufficient number of competent persons to take on fire safety responsibilities. Employees taking on said duties require proper training on fire risks, prevention and evacuation procedures.
Know who’s leading the fire evacuation with the right workwear. These high-visibility fire warden jackets signal who’s in charge of fire safety, giving a helpful visual reminder to staff and visitors.
Hi-Visibility Workwear Clothing
Being struck by a moving vehicle is one of the leading causes of death in the UK workplace. Staff must get everything they need to remain visible and apparent, so incidents like these do not occur. For example, employees working on a roadside or near the motorway are required by law to have appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. Including footwear, gloves and more importantly, high visibility/ weatherproof clothing.
At Direct365, we stock a whole range of accredited and approved workwear to ensure you’re staying legally compliant and your staff are working safely. Take, for instance, the yellow Hi-Vis safety jacket available in sizes S-XXXL tested to EN 343, offering a waterproof and highly visible choice for your staff to wear.
