Safety coveralls
items shown in the image are industrial safety coveralls, also commonly referred to as boiler suits or overalls, available in various colors like orange, red, and blue. These garments are a type of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to provide full-body protection for workers in hazardous environments.
Key Features and Description
Full Body Coverage: They are one-piece outfits with long sleeves and legs, a collar, and usually a front zipper closure to protect the wearer's entire body from potential workplace hazards, dirt, and debris.
High-Visibility (Hi-Vis) Elements: They feature reflective tape on the shoulders, arms, and legs. These strips enhance the wearer's visibility in low-light conditions or around heavy machinery and traffic, by reflecting light back to its source, which helps prevent accidents.
Safety Materials: These coveralls are often made from durable materials like cotton or a polycotton blend, and are frequently treated to be flame-resistant (FR) or anti-static, to protect against heat, flames, electric arcs, and static discharge. The specific material and treatments ensure they meet industry safety standards such as EN ISO 11612 or NFPA 2112.
Functional Design: They typically include practical features such as multiple pockets for tools (chest, back, side pockets), adjustable cuffs, and an elasticated waistband for a comfortable fit and freedom of movement.
Common Industrial Applications
These coveralls are essential safety gear in a variety of high-risk industries, including:
Oil and gas industries
Electrical and utility sectors
Welding and fabrication
Mining
Construction and roadwork
Chemical processing plants
