MINIMIZING PUBLIC WORK HAZARDS
From water supply and sewage treatment to waste collection to road and infrastructure fixes to parks and recreation maintenance, job duties in public works mainly involve outdoor work and prolonged exposure to the elements. Not only is it necessary to provide optimal sun, heat or cold, and dust protection, but for many public works departments, it is essential to include high visibility apparel as part of the daily workwear. Wearing comfortable and weather-appropriate work gear can make the long workdays in the direct sunlight or cold weather more tolerable, while high visibility clothing and headwear can minimize various public works safety risks involving heavy machinery and moving vehicles. BUFF® Safety collection features technologically advanced headwear and versatile neckwear to ensure public works safety across the whole sector.
