Workwear Selection
A High-Visibility Garment Needs the Right Specification for the Job
Choose high-visibility workwear through the employer’s risk assessment, required specification and fit checks rather than colour alone.
Uniform Fit
A Uniform Alteration Needs Approval Before the Scissors Come Out
Before hemming or reshaping a work uniform, check employer requirements, garment features and the movements the finished fit must support.

A Uniform Size Chart Needs the Manufacturer’s Measuring Method
Read whether a scrub size chart lists body measurements or garment dimensions, then compare the exact model without assuming one brand’s size carries over.
Uniform Care
Return Shared Uniforms Through the Right Laundry Route
Follow the workplace route for issued uniforms, keep clean and used items separate and report missing identification before a garment enters the wrong laundry stream.
