Prices Reduced on our High Visibility Waistcoats

mike products

We accept that high visibility waistcoats probably aren't going to be on your Christmas list this year. Nor are they going to be the height of fashion, ever! Nevertheless, the high visibility waistcoat is an essential garment, worn daily by people who work in construction, factories, warehouses, garages, yards, docks, et cetera. These days, you may even see children wearing them on their way to school, and cyclists donning them on their way to and from work in the early / late hours.

We are all aware that winter has now arrived, and is going to be staying with us for a while. We are currently losing clear visibility at around 4pm on a bright day and, unfortunately, it’s only going to get worse.

The general rule you should abide by is the darker the weather or your working conditions are, the greater amount of high visibility clothing you will require. With this in mind, we at SafetyLiftinGear have slashed the prices of our high visibility waistcoats, making this the perfect time to purchase high visibility clothing for yourself and your staff.

Yellow Hi Viz Waist Coat

Our stylish yellow high visibility waistcoats are available in medium to X-large and are made from 100% polyester with reflective tape around the chest, body and shoulders. When wearing this waistcoat, you can be confident that you will be seen by everyone.

From £2.29 down to just £1.19 what’s not to love?

Orange Hi Viz Waist Coat

Don’t worry if yellow isn't your colour. We have also slashed the price of our trendy orange high visibility waistcoat from £2.48 down to just £1.19! Our LiftinGear Orange High Visibility Waistcoat is also manufactured from 100% polyester and is also available from sizes medium to X-large.

Both of our high visibility waistcoats meet the EN471:2003 Class 2 standard. Our high visibility clothing ranges are hugely popular, so grab yourself a bargain this winter.

Be safe and be seen! Click here to view our full range of high visibility clothing.

Builder Dangles from Safety Harness After Slipping from a Bridge

mike health & safety

Wearing and using the correct safety gear when you are working at height is essential, as you can see in this video. If this worker had not been following safety precautions and wearing a harness, he could have very easily had a fatal accident.

As we have discussed on numerous occasions, working at height can be very dangerous. If you have an accident while working at height and you have not followed the correct safety precautions, it could potentially have lethal consequences. No matter how many times you have carried out the job before, all it takes is one slip or one gust of wind to cause a deadly fall.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we specialise in height safety equipment and stock a range of specialist harnesses, fall arrest blocks, tripods, winches and roof anchors to help prevent fatal accidents occurring at height.

Visit Our Height Safety Department to purchase everything you need to safely work at heights.

SLG Just Supplied Shaun Gash With A New Harness.

mike general news

Back in April we wrote about how we created a bespoke safety harness for Shaun Gash, a paralysed 44 year old from Lancaster who completed the Born Survivor Challenge - a 10 kilometre military style assault course at the beginning of the year, using only his arms, an off road wheelchair and help from his team mates.

Recently we provided Shaun with a new G-FORCE P80 harness to help him take part in his latest challenge – the ram run. Click here to see them all in action.

Shaun and his team are currently preparing themselves for the UK Championships in November and the World Championships which are taking place next year.

All of these Obstacle Courses are training for his biggest challenge next year, Shaun and his team are also going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in August next year. You can sponsor Shaun and his team on their Kilimanjaro Challenge by clicking here.

We would like to congratulate Shaun on all of his achievements from 2015.
