Summer Workwear Essentials

It’s that time of year again when the temperature is going up, jackets are coming off and the confidence in the British weather is getting slightly higher.

At Caswells Group we have everything you need for all seasons to keep you comfortable, protected and compliant during the summer months.


Breathable Workwear

While some sites don’t allow wearing shorts during the summer months, for obvious safety reasons. At Caswells Group you can still find workwear with breathable fabrics that make working in the summer months a lot more bearable.

Skin Protection

If you are working outdoors in summer, it is very important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. SPF protection is one of the most under-used forms of PPE for outdoor work.

-       Approximately 60–70% of construction workers are not regular sunscreen users on the job.

-       Around 35–45% may not use sunscreen at all during a summer month, even when working outdoors.

-       Many of the remainder apply sunscreen only once and do not reapply during the workday. 

By having SPF dispensers on site it’s a constant reminder for workers to apply, and reapply, sunscreen throughout the day.

 SC Johnson Stokoderm Sun Protect Pure comes in 100ml tubes (30 or 50 spf) for handy application when out and about, but also comes in a 1 litre refill with dispenser, making applying SPF on site easier than ever.
