5 Questions to ask when buying workwear

Ordering the correct Workwear for the job is simple enough and always the more money paid the better the quality which is a given. But there are some questions that you should always ask before purchasing the workwear or PPE you have seen or wish to buy.
 
1. Being quite an obvious one, and may not really need to apply if you’re only buying for yourself but how many people/employees are you buying for? For big corporate companies especially, a lot of the companies that purchase from our Bodyguard Workwear portals (B2B services) it is vital to know how many people you are buying for along with the details of the garments required. Now for most if your buying for example 30 employees you would be most likely purchasing the same garment rather than different garments for each individual, but you still need to get information from everyone such as what sizes they require before making the purchase, especially if products are in urgent demand and the wearers need to get back to the job at hand on the work site as soon as.  Another reason for knowing how many people you buy for is the more garments you buy in bulk the better deal we would be happy to deal you, this is a chat that may vary but one that you would have with one of our Bodyguard Team if you were interested in buying in bulk, we like to give the most competitive prices in the industry for PPE and Workwear.
 
2. Are you on a budget? Individuals, small business and even larger companies all have a budget in place that they will be spending on PPE and workwear. The bigger the company most likely bigger the budget but that is beyond the point. At Bodyguard Workwear we will cater for all people and companies of all budgets to suit their needs and still get quality and the best garments from us. We will let you know what is within your budget so you can make the right purchase and the best stuff for the job you need to do.
 
 
3. Another valid question and again this one is based more for B2B purchases but do you need any Logos or custom designs on the workwear? This is key to add to a uniform or workwear if you are trying to push that brand awareness out, a lot of companies already do this big and small, but if you’re just starting out on your own independent business, it is worth looking into getting some brand designs onto your workwear outfits. Techniques of getting designs on your workwear include embroidery, printed logos, Vinyl transfers and heat seals. Furthermore, with Bodyguard Workwear’s high-quality workwear we can assure the logo will last washes and wear and tear on the work site.
 
 
4. A big question that also needs to be asked by the supplier, so by that we me us here at Bodyguard workwear but you guys should know or have the ideas in your head before purchasing and this is what industry are you working in. There are a lot of guidelines for what PPE and what workwear should be worn in a certain environment. So, understanding what industry you are in is a key factor. For example, if working near the fire and heated environments we would be recommending and showing collections of gear relevant to that job such as flame and heat resistant clothing such as overalls and masks that have the build, technology and capabilities to avoid the wearing being burnt or harmed when working on the job.
 
5. Another question you will need to ask yourself and evaluate for yourself is what styles do you prefer and what styles do you need. Here at Bodyguard Workwear we always recommend Hi-Vis garments as would everyone and most industries this is a mandatory requirement anyway, but we look deeper into that and how the Hi-Vis strips are displayed, the colour of the garments, the design actually on the garment, what materials are used for the garment which also may vary in what industry you work in again, like the last point, depending on the industry may depend on what sort of garments you should be wearing when working on-site or in dangerous environments. But also, if you have your workforce or require a specific colour and design to be working with a team we can provide the correct colour schemes and designs for both genders to be wearing and keep things in order as well as providing a high quality and comfortable workwear attire.
