Industry Spotlight - Cold Store

When working for extended amounts of time in a cold store, it’s important to make sure that the workwear you wear reflects the environment you work in, to help keep you safe and comfortable in order to carry out your job.

In this series of articles, we’ll be taking a look at the workwear required for the numerous industries that we stock workwear for.

In this week's article, we’ll be looking at cold store workwear.

Headwear

Starting off with headwear it all comes down to your environment, if you’re in a place where there might be falling debris, then a hard hat or helmet is required to be worn.

Otherwise, a beanie hat should be considered to keep your head warm when on the job.

Protective glasses, ear defenders and in some cases face masks should be considered depending on the job, the day to day working environment and practicality of wearing this workwear.

Bodywear

Regulating your body temperature and keeping warm and comfortable when on the job has to be the main priority.

In some cases, it could mean life or death depending on the environment and how harsh the working conditions are.

Nevertheless, thermal clothing should act as your base layer, then normal t-shirts, perhaps a thermal waistcoat, jacket or fleece should go on top of that for extra layers and comfort.

If you’re required to wear a high viz jacket, then this should go over the top for increased visibility.

Legwear

Similar to bodywear, you need to think smart to stay warm and comfortable on the job.

Thermal wear as a base layer, work trousers over the top of those or high viz trousers for maximum visibility.

Footwear

Finally finishing off with footwear, thermal socks to keep the feet warm and stay clear of frostbite, as well as a good pair of work shoes that have plenty of grip in icy conditions.
