From humble beginnings…
Railway systems have come a long way since the introduction of the first steam passenger train in 1830. From the humble beginnings of George Stephenson’s Locomotion No 1 all the way through to the present day build of HS2, one of the most demanding and exciting transport projects in Europe, teams of workers have strived to maintain our network system.
Records dating back to the 1800’s show that rail workers mostly equipped themselves with their own PPE during those earlier years. It wasn’t uncommon for employees using grindstones in the workshops to sport wet rags over their mouths and noses to try and reduce the number of particles breathed in. Those lucky enough to be supplied goggles found these early incarnations impractical and uncomfortable and more often than not would cast them aside so they could carry out their job more effectively.
Work starting on HS2
Thankfully, there have been significant changes to the provision of welfare measures over the years and the industry’s perspective to safety has shifted. Responsibility for the provision of protective equipment has transferred from the employee to the employer with increased consideration given to ensuring personnel return home in one piece. In the 1960’s high visibility clothing was introduced to the country’s railways, which despite the initial reluctance by wearers to be seen in such ‘unmanly’ items, has now become embedded as an integral part of PPE Regulations.
In similar fashion to our country’s railway systems, Clad Safety has also evolved from its own humble beginnings over 30 years ago to become one of the UK’s leading suppliers of workwear, uniforms and PPE. An industry leader, the company has developed and expanded its range to embrace new, innovative clothing and products that support safer working practices whilst still adhering to comfort and durability.
