Working outside isn’t simple from a health and safety perspective. You need to ensure your team has the right workwear and PPE equipment to withstand any risk factors and changes in the weather. This means choosing an adequate uniform for your team that caters to comfort and necessary safety features is subject to change, depending on the season.
One often overlooked aspect of workwear is footwear. Employees are often given one pair of shoes or boots to last them year round. When working outdoors, the footwear isn’t always suitable for all tasks, weather or working conditions. It’s also important to take into consideration the task and type of role your team is working on.
