Construction

Multi-standard protection for the construction site

On a construction site multiple risks often overlap: sparks from cutting, rain, wind and sometimes passing traffic. Clothing from our Multinorm collection combines, for example, flame-retardant material with an antistatic finish, so a single garment meets several EN standards at once. For extra visibility around roadworks or in the dark, choose from our High visibility collection.

Work trousers with reinforced knee zones

Spending a lot of time on your knees calls for trousers that can handle it. When choosing construction trousers, look for reinforced knee pockets suitable for knee pads, a sturdy fabric such as canvas or ripstop, and enough pockets for tools and your phone. Also check our knee protection to ease kneeling or seated work.

Safety footwear and hand protection

On a construction site, safety footwear with a steel or composite toe cap and a full anti-perforation sole is essential; class S3 is the most commonly chosen standard because it's also waterproof. Browse our full range of S3 safety shoes. Combine this with cut-resistant gloves to protect your hands against sharp edges and splinters.

Weather-resistant clothing for outdoors

Construction workers work outdoors all year round. In the rain, reach for our rain gear, and in winter stay warm with a lined jacket from Thermal/Freezer. That way you stay dry and warm, whatever the season.

For work along public roads or in the dark, the client often requires class 2 or 3 high-visibility clothing. Check High visibility for jackets, trousers and vests that meet this.

Which construction trousers are most practical?

Trousers with reinforced, removable knee pockets, stretch in the crotch and at least six pockets for tools work best. Combine such trousers well with knee protection for a lot of kneeling work.

Wat is een bump cap en wanneer volstaat die?

Een bump cap is een lichte stootpet volgens EN 812 die je hoofd beschermt als je je stoot tegen vaste objecten, zoals leidingen, balken of de onderkant van een machine. Hij beschermt niet tegen vallende voorwerpen en vervangt dus geen veiligheidshelm volgens EN 397. Op een bouwplaats waar een helmplicht geldt, is een bump cap daarom niet voldoende.
