The construction industry has long been dominated by men, but in recent years, there has been a push for more women to join the workforce. As women take on more roles in construction, it is essential that they have access to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that fits properly and provides adequate protection.
Tiger Supplies works with several leading brands to give access to women’s protective clothing. These include hi-vis clothing items such as jackets, trousers, and waistcoats, as well as ladies’ footwear.
It's important to understand that properly fitting PPE is crucial for its effectiveness. PPE that doesn't fit well can be uncomfortable and can hinder movement, which can put workers at risk.
This is particularly true for women, who often have different body shapes and sizes than men. Women's PPE should be designed to fit their bodies comfortably, ensuring maximum protection from hazards.
Another issue that women face when it comes to PPE is a lack of availability. Many employers may not have women's PPE readily available, and women may have to use ill-fitting PPE designed for men.
This can lead to discomfort and decreased protection from hazards. Employers must ensure that women's PPE is available and accessible to all female workers in the construction industry.
Tiger Supplies’ specific range of women’s PPE is listed below. However, our sales team (contact details below) can help source specific products should you require any further specifics.
