Custom Work Jackets: Order Online & Add Your Company Logo!

mike products

September's here, which means that the nights will be drawing in and conditions getting colder and wetter very soon. Autumn is a lovely time of year in many ways, but for those who work outdoors on a regular basis, it can be rather trying; operating in poor weather is unpleasant at best, and genuinely life-threatening at worst.

If you and/or your employees frequently have to work outside, now is the perfect time to invest in some high-quality work jackets in preparation for autumn and winter. And that's where our sister site, SafetyLifeGear.co.uk, comes in - they have a huge range of work jackets on offer, with something for just about any set of requirements imaginable. Whether you need a waterproof raincoat, a padded gilet, or a hi-vis bomber jacket, the SafetyLifeGear team can provide it for you.

Browse work jackets | Browse hi-vis workwear

The best thing about ordering your workwear from SafetyLifeGear.co.uk is the fact that you can add your company logo (or another design of your choosing) to more or less any item you purchase.

So if you want to keep your employees warm and dry through the colder months while also giving your business a little extra promotion, make sure you order your work jackets from SafetyLifeGear.co.uk this year!

#BLOODHOUNDisGo: SafetyLiftinGear Beam Used to Lift Supersonic Car

Admin general news

As an official partner of The BLOODHOUND Project, we at SafetyLiftinGear have been watching the progress of this undertaking with feverish enthusiasm since day one. It's been amazing to see the BLOODHOUND car - a record-breaker in the making - gradually coming together, and we were very excited to learn that the team had finally set a date for their creation's record attempt. We will hopefully see BLOODHOUND break the world land speed record (which currently stands at just over 763mph) in October 2017 - that's just over a year from now!

There was even more excitement to be had here in the SLG office when photos emerged (on @BLOODHOUND_SSC's official Twitter page) of a SafetyLiftinGear beam being use to lift the monstrous supercar from its hubs.

It's great to see our products forming part of such an amazing project, and we can't wait for the record attempt in October '17 - we wish the BLOODHOUND team every success!

New to SafetyLiftinGear: Ladder Safety Kits

Jodie products

Our new ladder safety kits are ideal for staying safe when working at height.

Falls from height are responsible for a startling number of workplace injuries every year, and around half of all fatal workplace falls involve ladders. We've probably all been up a ladder on at least a few occasions, and when you need to access a hard-to-reach area, a ladder is very often the best tool for the job; however, ladders can also be very dangerous if not used safely.

To help you and/or your employees stay safe on ladders, we are proud to present two brand new additions to the SafetyLiftinGear website: our ladder safety kits. Here's a quick primer on what each one includes:

Level 1 Ladder Safety Kit

The level 1 kit includes the following items:

2-point safety harness
Reusable ladder restraint tie (12mm diameter, suitable for use with any solid brick or concrete wall)
Waterproof PVC kit bag
Scaffold hook (attaches to ladder rung)
Twist lock karabiner (attaches to the safety harness)
Endless lashing (for securing the ladder to the ladder restraint tie)

Click here to view the level 1 ladder safety kit.

Level 2 Ladder Safety Kit

The level 2 kit includes a 10m safety line that allows the user to carry up a variety of items (such as small tools or buckets) with ease. If you purchase this kit, you'll receive the following items:

2 point safety harness
Stainless steel rope grab
Kermantle rope (10m length, 12mm thickness)
Waterproof PVC kit bag
Webbing anchor (attaches safety line to the ladder via a karabiner)
Twist lock karabiner
Reusable ladder restraint tie (12mm diameter, suitable for use with any solid brick or concrete wall)
Endless lashing (for securing the ladder to the ladder restraint tie)

Click here to view the level 2 ladder safety kit.

Who Should Use Our Ladder Safety Kits?

These two kits are designed to keep ladders securely in place and ensure that users remain safe and protected while working at height. They are ideal for any worker who frequently uses a ladder to access hard-to-reach locations, including:

Painters
Window cleaners
Security equipment installers
Cable/telecom workers
