EMPOWERING WOMEN AT WORK: OUR INCLUSIVE OFFERING

We pride ourselves on developing and offering a diverse range of Workwear and PPE for women – no matter the sector, we deliver the right product for the task at hand.

Properly fitted workwear for women not only allows your taskforce to feel confident and professional in their roles – it is pivotal in preventing injuries alongside promoting gender equality and removing the stigma of women in male dominated industries.

Historically, women’s workwear was designed as a derivative of existing male products which led to workwear that was often ill-fitting and that failed to accommodate to the unique body shapes and sizes of women.

This one-size-fits-all approach not only hinders comfort and safety but also perpetuates gender inequality in the workplace.

In this blog, we will explore the significance of workwear that’s designed with female attributes in mind and the importance it plays in empowering women in their professional lives.

WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES FACED?

• Ill-fitting workwear: Standard-issue workwear often fails to accommodate the unique body shapes of women and therefore restricts movement, leads to discomfort and can increase the risk of injury in the workplace.
• Health concerns: Ill-fitting PPE increases the risk of slips, trips, falls and injury through limited movement and impaired visibility. However, it’s not just short-term risk that comes from wearing workwear designed for the opposite gender with long-term health problems arising from wearing poorly fitting safety boots such as plantar fasciitis and tendonitis.
• Psychological impact: This can contribute to a lack of confidence and reduced self-esteem which affects job satisfaction and overall well-being.

“Any reduction in protection can put your life in danger or may lead to immediate or long-term ill health.”
