Womens workwear

With construction having traditionally been perceived as predominantly a male profession, workwear and safety equipment has generally been produced with the male form in mind. As construction attracts more women, however, a very real need has been identified for female PPE. Site PPE for women is not about vanity, but concentrates on comfort and safety. Men’s PPE has generally been worn by women on site and tends to be uncomfortable, too big, impractical and in the worst case can be a potential safety hazard.

Tailored trousers for example are easier to walk in than the oversized men’s version, reducing the possibility of them catching on objects. In addition, when the trousers are designed specifically for female construction workers they don’t need to be pulled up high or the legs turned to make them fit. That’s why at the coalface stocks a large range of specialised workwear made for ladies.
