PROTECTION AGAINST HAZARDS

RAIN Exposure to rain without adequate protective clothing can have a serious affect on worker’s health. Potential workplace hazards can also be exacerbated in the rain, making surfaces slippery and dangerous. We develop high performance clothing, PPE, hand and foot protection that protects in wet weather conditions. LOW VISIBILITY Workers who operate in low light and poor visibility conditions, especially those working in medium to high-risk environments are required to wear clothing that increases their visibility. At Portwest, we design and manufacture the most comprehensive range of certified enhanced and high visibility clothing on the market.
