A Better Fit, A Safer Workplace: Introducing Our New Extended Sizing Safety Apparel

Properly fitting safety apparel is crucial in promoting safety and preventing workplace accidents and injuries. In various industries, personal protective equipment (PPE) like class 2/class 3 safety vests, class 2/class 3 safety shirts, safety jackets, and other safety apparel is necessary, and ensuring that these items fit correctly is essential.

We at KwikSafety are excited to announce that we have introduced a new line of extended sizing products for our safety apparel! These new range of sizes were designed to provide better fit options for workers with different body types, ensuring that they can obtain the same level of protection as everyone else.

At KwikSafety, we understand that safety apparel should be comfortable and functional, and this can only be achieved if the gear fits properly. Unfortunately, many workers struggle to find safety apparel that fits correctly, particularly those who fall outside the standard sizing range. This is why we have taken the initiative to develop a range of extended sizing options, catering to a wider range of body types and sizes.

 __________________________

The primary purpose of PPE is to protect workers from harm, and this can only be achieved if the gear is worn properly. Ill-fitting safety apparel can lead to discomfort, restricted movement, and increased risk of accidents. For example, if a safety vest is too loose, it can get caught in machinery, leading to serious injuries. Similarly, a safety jacket that is too tight can restrict movement and compromise a worker's balance, leading to accidents.

One of the most significant risks associated with ill-fitting safety apparel is that workers may adjust or remove it frequently, which can compromise their safety. For instance, if a worker removes a safety vest or safety shirt due to discomfort, they may be exposed to potential hazards, leading to injuries. In other cases, workers may wear safety apparel that is too tight, which can lead to restricted blood flow and discomfort.

Knowing that your safety apparel fits properly is essential for ensuring that you are adequately protected from potential hazards in the workplace. Here are some steps to follow to determine if your safety apparel fits correctly:

1. Check the Sizing

Safety apparel typically comes in different sizes, so make sure you select the right size for your body. Refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart to ensure that you are choosing the correct size.

2. Try it On

Once you have selected the right size, put on the safety apparel and ensure that it fits comfortably. The apparel should not be too tight or too loose, and it should not restrict your movement.

3. Check for Proper Coverage

Make sure that the safety apparel covers the appropriate parts of your body.

*For example, a safety vest should cover your torso, and a hard hat should cover your head and forehead.

4. Adjust as Needed

Make any necessary adjustments to the safety apparel to ensure that it fits correctly.

*For example, tighten straps or adjust buckles to achieve a better fit.

5. Test Mobility

Try moving around in the safety apparel to ensure that it does not restrict your movement or cause discomfort. If the apparel feels too tight or too loose, it may be necessary to make further adjustments.

6. Check for Gaps

Ensure that there are no gaps between your body and the safety apparel.

*For example, a safety vest should fit snugly to your body to prevent it from getting caught in machinery.

7. Check for Interference

Make sure that the safety apparel does not interfere with any other PPE that you may be wearing.

*For example, a hard hat should not interfere with your safety glasses.

By following the steps above, you can ensure that your safety apparel fits properly and provides the necessary protection for you to work safely in your job. Remember to check the fit of your safety apparel regularly and make any necessary adjustments to ensure ongoing protection.
