Every industry has its own special needs and unique hazards. In addition to the above guidelines, each worksite should be evaluated for specific hazards that may require additional specifications for apparel.

Low visibility work environments, construction and traffic work, and outdoor and nighttime jobs all mandate high visibility clothing. This includes brightly colored vests, reflective materials or strips, and battery operated lights if necessary. Any job site that performs a lot of hot work or contains flammable chemicals and materials should invest in flame resistance clothing. High temperatures, flash fires, and arc fires can generate enough heat to melt clothing to flesh. Flame resistant threads and coatings will protect a worker from these conditions long enough to escape the area. Be cautioned that even flame resistant clothing will not allow a person to walk through fire or withstand prolonged exposure. Even the gear that firefighters wear is not that perfect.Overall, industrial apparel is the last line of defense against injury when working with industrial equipment. Even in the safest work places or when working in the home, protection is always required. Everything that a worker wears should be contributing to his or her overall personal safety.
