Workwear, PPE and protective uniforms all have 3 important features that make them fit for purpose, and these are function, protection and comfort.

In this webinar we will explore the range of workwear, PPE and protective uniforms that all require varying levels of testing, from testing groups such as durability to strength and also fastness.

We will highlight the importance of the layering system, which plays a crucial role in ensuring that the garments used in the workplace are performing as they should, and that they are safe for the wearer.

There will also be a more detailed look into the testing of a protective workwear jacket and some workwear gloves, focusing on a range of internationally recognised standards.
