Stay warm in winter

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.
