Working outdoors involves a great deal of inconvenience due to the changing weather conditions - in the summer, employees suffer from the sun and heat, and in spring and autumn, and even sometimes in winter, frequent rains. For these people, we have a ready-made solution - rainwear for health and safety from our store for all those who work in bad weather conditions and need adequate protection from water, as well as cold.
Employer, choose rainwear instead of L4 for your employees
As an employer, you have a legal obligation to equip your employees with the necessary clothing for work. If some or all of them work outdoors, you must choose clothes that will protect them not only from the rain, but also from the cold. Such is our rainwear from Gabi store - waterproof, durable, allowing water to run off the surface without penetrating the material. If you don't want your employees to get sick on L4 every few weeks, it's a good idea to buy the necessary sets of clothing for each employee in advance, so you don't have to look for a replacement "on the fly" later.
European waterproofing standards for rainwear
Rainwear must meet standards specified by the European Union. The most important is the standard labeled EN 343, which specifies the required parameters for waterproofness and resistance of the material to water vapor transmission (the so-called breathability activity, breathability), thus clothing of this type protects against both rain and wind and cold above -5 degrees. Both values are expressed in numbers - from 0 to 3.
Insulated jackets and windbreakers, coats, pants, dungarees - the range of rainproof workwear at Gabi will satisfy everyone
Working outdoors has its own peculiarities and requirements - workers are exposed to changes in the weather and, consequently, more frequent illness, especially during the so-called transition period. You can remedy this with Gabi - choosing sets of clothing made of suitable materials that drain water and are durable, because they are resistant to damage by tools - polyester or PVC (polyvinyl chloride). The assortment is wide - you will find not only sets of rainwear in various designs and colors, but also rain jackets, windbreakers, coats or dungarees, and each of these products is also offered in warning, high-visibility colors: yellow and orange, which will ensure your employees' safety in limited visibility.
Rain jackets and pants - what to look out for?
Rain jackets must first and foremost protect against excess water, so the most important feature is a material that will not absorb it, but allow it to flow freely over the surface. In our store you can get jackets made of polyester or polyamide coated with polyurethane, having in addition a set of welts at the sleeves and at the bottom of the jacket to adjust them to the figure and prevent water from seeping under the surface of the garment. The Snickers brand, on the other hand, has prepared a wide range of rain pants designed for outdoor work and in both cheaper and more expensive variants. The AllroundWork Shell 6901 model meets the needs of workers - the pants can be easily removed without removing shoes thanks to special zippers located along the legs. In addition, their resistance to water penetration is 5,000 mm, and taped seams reinforce the material.
Reflective and rainproof clothing
If our employees are outdoors during working hours in conditions of limited visibility, we are forced to invest in garments referred to as warning garments that meet the EN ISO 20471 standard, which defines the intensity of colors, their distribution and the area occupied on clothing. Under the standard, we can distinguish three categories, numbered from I to III - category I is the garment with the smallest area of warning elements, and category III - with the largest area. Our jackets not only meet the above standards, but additionally contain a lot of practical solutions - ventilation under the arms or a retractable hood. You can find interesting models HERE and HERE. We also provide rainwear sets consisting of pants and jacket, as well as insulated jackets suitable for winter.
Waterproof clothing is for the employer a guarantee of protected employees and acting in accordance with the law, and for the employee better health. It is worth investing in the product range of a professional company to be sure that the clothes given to employees meet all the necessary standards.
