MEWA: workwear for autumn and winter
InfoWeb Marketplace · Editorial teamPublished on 1 October 2019 · 2 min read
Employees of craft businesses and public services who work outdoors in autumn or winter need workwear suited to unpleasant weather conditions.
A professional assignment in the rain or in a hall swept by drafts can quickly make people ill. To avoid this risk, employers must provide their employees with workwear that protects against the cold.
Philipp Mell, Director of MEWA France, recommends opting for layers. ?Workwear is designed like the layers of an onion. Each one fulfils its function. Breathable, moisture-wicking underwear is complemented by garments that retain heat and, finally, by outer protection against wind and moisture. This system makes it possible to combine different garments flexibly: when moving between the site hut and the construction site, or in case of heavy perspiration.?
Even with protective workwear, freedom of movement must absolutely be preserved. This is ensured by a perfectly fitted cut, as well as by lightweight, breathable materials. The company manager can even involve employees in the choice of winter clothing. ?Anyone who takes the different wishes into account scores points with the team. Everyone has a different sensitivity to the cold. If the equipment includes a fleece or softshell jacket, a jacket and a sturdy winter coat, everyone can choose what they need.?
So that the team ultimately does not look like a motley crew but projects a uniform corporate image, MEWA offers items meeting the various requirements. The company logo further reinforces the shared image.
Fluorescent fabrics, reflective strips and reflective elements are increasingly prevalent on workwear. They have always been indispensable for trousers and jackets, especially in trades whose safety requirements call for high-visibility clothing. A light reflective strip in the right place can also add an aesthetic touch. Fluorescent fabrics and reflective strips can lose their effectiveness, so it is important to check them regularly. ?The cleaning of high-visibility clothing should always be entrusted to a professional. All defects are thus detected and repaired, and the protective function is also guaranteed?, explains Philipp Mell.
To save managers and buyers time, Philipp Mell recommends renting the workwear they need. The textile service provider not only offers assistance in choosing garments, but also takes care of their cleaning, maintenance, repair, and the collection and delivery service. ?We equip all of our customers' employees with at least three outfits: one to be worn, one to be washed and a spare. Our service also helps employers comply with hygiene standards and requirements. And it is a great relief for companies to be able to meet requirements flexibly.?

Reflective elements are very much in fashion on workwear
