The Clad Safety Team are made up of a group of technical experts and we like to pass our knowledge on to our customers.

We will educate and inform you on changes to legislation and advise all our customers on the appropriate technical workwear and PPE so that your workforce is always protected and safe.

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is vital, more than ever, that you understand why your employees must wear the correct workwear and PPE for their specific job role.
