Mining workwear must be selected from the site's hazards, controls and current requirements. A generic article cannot certify a garment or replace the organisation's risk assessment.

Start with the exact requirement

Document the people, tasks, environment, presentation, care, approval and repeat-order needs before selecting a product or process.

Practical checks

• site and task-specific hazard assessment
• exact product code, colour and supplier documentation
• compatibility with other PPE and equipment
• fit, visibility, coverage and movement
• inspection, washing, replacement and worker training

Verify before approval

Use qualified safety advice and the relevant current standards. Confirm the exact product before decoration or issue.

Use current evidence and written records

Keep the exact product or service details, specifications, artwork, quote, approvals and date checked. Reconfirm information that may change before a repeat order.
