Branded PPE for Your Workers

mike products

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is a crucial consideration for countless workers in countless different industries. From dust masks and ear defenders to hardhats and hi-vis jackets, PPE comes in all kinds of different shapes and sizes, and it's impossible to estimate how many lives these items have saved and how many injuries they've prevented.

If you want to keep your workers safe while also making sure that your brand gets seen, we strongly recommend that you visit our sister site SafetyLifeGear and check out the range of branded PPE they have on offer. Here are a few of their most popular items - remember, all of these items can be customised with your company logo or branding!

Cowhide Leather Gloves

These strengthened work gloves are designed for dock workers, but they're also suitable for those who work in storage, warehousing, and transportation.

Blue Pick-and-Go Gloves

Alternatively, if you need protective gloves that give you a little more manoeuvrability, this pick-and-go design should suit you - these gloves are ideal for handling parts and sorting. Also available in red.

Zircon Hard Hat

If you've ever worked on a construction site, you'll be no stranger to hard hats - this one is available in six different colours, and of course you can add your company's branding to the front (or the back, or one of the sides!)

Visor Carrier

Does your job require you to wear a visor? If so, this helmet can be combined with this clear visor to provide you with the protection you need.

Hi-Vis Vest

It's important to be seen, and this hi-vis vest will help to make sure you are! Of course, if you need something a little more heavy-duty...

Hi-Vis Bomber Jacket

...there's always this bomber jacket! Perfect for people who need to stay visible whilst working in cold, wet conditions.

White Skull Cap for Chefs

People who work in food preparation are usually required to wear a hat like this to keep their hair out of the food. These customisable caps allow you to keep things hygienic while also representing your brand in the kitchen!

Butcher's Apron

Another popular item from SafetyLifeGear's catering range. This apron is perfect for keeping food off your clothes!

The BLOODHOUND Project: There's an App for That!

mike general news

As we've proudly stated again and again over the last few months, SafetyLiftinGear is the official supplier of lifting / material handling products to The BLOODHOUND Project, an attempt to both break the land speed record and inspire a new generation of scientists and engineers.

Of course, even if we weren't involved in The BLOODHOUND Project, we'd still be closely tracking its progress - after all, who wouldn't be interested in a supersonic car that can travel at 1000mph?

One of the latest developments from Team BLOODHOUND is the creation of a mobile app that allows you to get the inside scoop on The BLOODHOUND Project and related topics like the history of the land speed record and the science behind the car that will hopefully break it.

The app is available for iOS and Android devices - get it from the App Store or Google Play now! It costs less than a pound, and all proceeds will be invested back into the BLOOHOUND education programme, so your pennies will be going towards a very good cause! Click here to find out more about the BLOODHOUND Blast app.

SafetyLiftinGear is an official partner of The BLOODHOUND Project, supplying the lifting equipment and material handling products that will be used in the construction of the BLOODHOUND supersonic car. More info here.
