Your workwear and PPE garments must always be clean to be safe and satisfy the standard. Garments covered in dirt will significantly decrease visibility and other properties and may thereby put you in danger. Frequent washing will also help materials last much longer since dust and dirt may destroy fibers by abrasion.
When washing garments with reflective details (reflective stripes etc.), you should always wash the garments inside out. The reflectivity of any reflective material will be reduced every time garments are washed without being turned inside out. Note that damage to the flame retardant, visibility or reflective properties of the material may not be visible to the naked eye.
Never mix certified and non-certified garments
You should never mix certified garments with non-certified garments in the same wash, since non-certified garments may bleed colors and/or chemicals that will damage the certified garments.
Below are the specific requirements for our safety apparel.
