Cold Weather Safety Gear for Outdoor Workers
As the crisp chill of winter envelops Scotland, prioritising safety and comfort becomes paramount for those who brave the outdoors, especially when working. Highland Industrial Supplies understands the unique challenges posed by the Scottish winter and has curated a collection of cold weather safety gear for outdoor workers to ensure you face the season with confidence
Beat the Dark Days with Hi-Vis Clothing
Dark, wintry mornings and nights can pose serious safety hazards, especially for those working in low-light conditions. It is essential to invest in high-visibility clothing
to enhance visibility and reduce the risk of accidents.
Choose from
Our Range
of vibrant hi-vis jackets and trousers, ensuring you remain conspicuous and secure even during the darkest hours.
Shield Your Hands with Protective Gloves
Your hands are your most valuable tools and protecting them from the biting cold is crucial. Highland Industrial Supplies offers a variety of
Durable and Insulated Gloves
designed to keep your hands warm while maintaining dexterity.
These
TraffiGloves
offer unprecedented dexterity and comfort for a Cut Level 5 glove. Advanced thread technology and a polyurethane coating make it possible to perform even the
most intricate tasks with the highest level of safety and protection. Whether you're handling tools, equipment, or materials, our protective gloves provide the necessary barrier against the harsh winter elements.
Face the Cold Head-On
Exposure to biting winds and freezing temperatures can take a toll on your face and head. Incorporating
Balaclavas and Hats
into your winter work gear is a must during the chilly winter season. These accessories provide an additional layer of insulation, keeping you warm and focused on the task
at hand, even in the coldest conditions.
When temperatures plummet, layering becomes your best defence against the cold. Begin with a
Warm Base Layer,
such as our selection of thermal pants and crewneck tops. These thermals offer exceptional warmth while maintaining comfort, ensuring you stay cosy throughout your outdoor activities.
Stay Grounded with Safety Boots
Proper footwear is paramount during the winter months. Highland Industrial Supplies recommends safety boots designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions.
Our collection features sturdy boots that provide both comfort and protection, keeping your feet warm, dry, and secure as you navigate challenging terrains.
This
Winter Boot from Helly Hansen
is crafted to provide robust support in challenging environments. The BOA closure system ensures swift access, while the Helly Tech® and Primaloft® technologies keep
you warm and dry even in temperatures as low as minus 50°C. The Vibram rubber outsole prevents slips, and your feet are safeguarded by a composite plate and toecap.
The PU shell surrounding your foot adds durability, making these boots highly resilient.
Why Your Safety Gear Is Important This Winter
Ignoring the importance of cold weather safety gear exposes outdoor workers to various risks. From the threat of frostbite and hypothermia to accidents caused by low visibility, the repercussions can be severe.
Choosing Highland Industrial Supplies for your Winter Workwear means more than just acquiring gear.
