PPE is becoming increasingly high-tech with each passing season. Workers are demanding more and more functional and design features in their daily work wear. But one of the biggest trends emerging in PPE is also one of the simplest - looking cool.
Today’s employees desire to have their safety gear look and feel as cool as their ‘weekend gear’.
In a fashion conscious era, it is also worthwhile considering the influence of appearance on the PPE compliance.When safety professionals were asked about their visions for the future of PPE- Fit, Comfort and Style took precedence. Majority of the respondents said thatcustomizable or individualized style and design options would help increase compliance. Hence the impact of customization and style on compliance cannot be undermined.
While some styles look better than others. PPE must first and foremost keep workers safe, even if that means sacrificing style for safety. But whenever you can combine those two things, keeping workers safe and looking cool, it actually improves compliance.
