winter construction work

Winter can be a difficult time for workers who operate outdoors. The cold and damp conditions associated with this time of year can make it difficult to carry out work efficiently, while also maintaining proper health and safety standards. At SafetyLiftinGear we are committed to providing products that contribute to a safe and comfortable working environment, which is why we stock a range of items that cater specifically to work carried out in colder conditions. 

Below are three essential items for carrying out work in cold and damp conditions:

Jacket Safety Harness

This windproof and water resistant jacket includes an integrated safety harness, which makes it ideal for outdoor work completed at height. It has both front and rear 'D' ring attachment points, making it highly functional and easy to use. The harness can also be removed in order to use the jacket alone, or to be inspected as part of health and safety protocol.

HI Viz Yellow Bomber Jacket 

Another difficulty posed by winter is poor visibility, caused by inclement weather and restricted daylight hours. Our Hi Viz Bomber Jacket is designed to ensure the safety of outdoor workers during unlit hours, while preserving their warmth and comfort at the same time. This jacket comes in 300D polyester coated fabric and has a concealed hood, making it ideal for use in cold, windy and damp weather. It also has fleece faced quilt lining and elasticated adjustable cuffs for maximum comfort. Choose from M, L or XL.

All these tools can be heavy for you carry around on your back, so this backpack has padded shoulder straps providing maximum comfort when transporting you tools around your site. 




Falling tools, hardware and small parts can be a huge hazard if dropped when you are working at height, so it is important to keep your tools tethered to your or your harness and small parts/ hardware in a safe place.
