Arco has stocked up on winter
protective clothing and launched a
guide that explains how businesses
should prepare for winter with the
correct workwear to protect staff
against freezing conditions.

The company offers a durable
range of jackets, fleeces, thermals,
hats, gloves and footwear and, to
ensure that workers stand out in the
dark, there is also a range of hivisibility
jackets, overtrousers, shirts,
vests and gloves.

Working in cold environments can
impose physical hazards, health risks
and affect an individual’s
performance in the workplace. The
Arco Expert Guide to Winter
Workplace Safety provides advice on
how to protect staff from the winter
conditions and suggests products to
keep employees safe.

Products include: the Trojan
Tradesman Bonded Fleece that offers
warmth, wind resistance and allround
comfort; the Ansell Polar Grip
fully coated glove that offers
resistance against salt water while
keeping hands warm; and, for head
protection, Centurion offers a threepart
Cold Weather Hood System for
extreme conditions.
