This article was inspired by my wife who has been worked in the construction industry for sometime. Her main concern was that she was required to wear hard hat, steel capped boots, gloves and high viz clothing but all the safety equipment available was obviously designed for men.

I’ve had a look around at what women’s safety gear is available online. There still isn’t much but hare are some things I found:

PINK SAFETY VEST

Workers across the nation can now add a McGrath Pink Safety Vest to their McGrath Work Safety Wear. The vest, which meets all Australian safety standards, not only helps increase breast awareness but also helps prove one of Jane’s favourite sayings that ‘it takes a real man to wear pink’. Plus, just like the McGrath Pink Hard Hat, donning the McGrath Pink Safety vest will help fund additional McGrath Breast Care Nurses across the country, with a donation made to the McGrath Foundation for every vest sold. So go on, kit yourself, colleagues, friends and loved ones out today!

Pink isn’t the only thing that makes our selection of women’s safety gear unique. Although the color is pervasive through all pieces we carry, our selection of products is geared specifically for women. While construction and other industrial fields are still male-dominated, women work in such occupations, as well, and need appropriate protection for their size and build. Many safety gear manufacturers, such as Carhartt and Pyramex, carry safety supplies in sizes appropriate for women. From hard hats to suspensions, all basic types of safety gear can be found in sizes and shapes for women.

Hard hats are required for various workplaces, and our selection includes all types in sizes for women. While pink is the main color for our hard hats, we carry blue and purple, as well. In terms of protection, our women’s hard hats range from standard polyethylene to aluminum hard hats and bump caps. All hats meet ANSI Z89.1-2003 standards and come with suspensions, some of which have an adjustable ratchet.

Other women’s safety gear in our selection is designed with pin in mind. This includes safety harnesses, lanyards, glasses, and tool belts. Pink may be a common color across all of these, but shades range from a light pink to magenta. Safety glasses for women, in addition, come in more than pink, with blue, yellow, and green options available in our store.

Although most of our safety supplies are geared toward industrial occupations, other supplies and kits we carry are for gardening. This includes a set of gardening tools – also colored with pink handles and a case – and appropriate work clothing like aprons and gardening gloves made with micro-suede palms.

Whether you’re going to work or tending a garden at home, our safety gear for women covers a number of options for protection in your work situation.
