While working in a cold climate, your body can use up to 75% of its energy to maintain your normal body temperature. This means that keeping warm is your body's priority. So, you could become far less aware of what's happening around you due to the lack of energy and become far more likely to have a workplace accident

Fortunately, we offer a large range of thermal and winter workwear that are perfect for those freezing working days. So, we've compiled this guide for our best winter trousers, coats, jackets, coveralls and gloves for you to wear this winter.

How hot is your workplace? In some industries and settings - professional kitchens and bakeries, smelting works, foundries and others - excessive heat is a year-round problem. In others, it's only really an issue during the summer months, when the outdoor temperature can increase and businesses don't have adequate measures in place to keep the heat at bay. For some people, an excessively hot workplace can lead to heat stress.

It is true to say that most people have to wear suitable and specific clothing to work. Those who work in offices for example may need to wear a shirt or smart dress each day. Of course, there are many sectors where practical workwear is a must. This includes everything from plumbers to carpet fitters, electricians, builders, general maintenance workers and beyond.

It goes without saying that injuries obtained in the workplace can hinder a company’s ability to perform at capacity. A worker with a broken hand can hardly be expected to work to their peak level, after all.

However, recent figures released by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have highlighted just how detrimental workplace injuries are. According to the HSE, over 600,000 accidents and injuries were reported last year alone in the UK; that’s around one injury for every five employed people.
