At 1620 Workwear, we know that job site safety starts with the right gear. This National Safety Day, observed on March 4, we’re highlighting the critical role that high-quality tools and apparel play in protecting workers. Whether it's high-visibility clothing or compliant safety equipment, investing in the best gear helps ensure that tradespeople can do their jobs safely and effectively.
Being seen is the first step in workplace safety, especially in hazardous environments or low-light conditions. 1620’s Hi-Vis performance jackets, vests, and hoodies are specifically designed to keep workers visible, no matter the climate or time of day. Paired with essential personal protective equipment (PPE) like helmets and gloves, these garments further enhance workplace protection by reducing accident risks and ensuring tradespeople remain highly visible and physically protected from potential hazards.
Fatigue is a significant contributor to workplace accidents. Traditional cotton canvas workwear can be stiff and restrictive, leading to discomfort and exhaustion. 1620 work pants, however, are engineered with advanced materials that are 10 times tougher than traditional cotton while offering enhanced flexibility. When combined with protective gear like gloves and masks, workers experience greater comfort, improved mobility, and reduced exposure to hazardous substances. This combination ensures safety, efficiency, and endurance throughout long workdays.
Safety gear should integrate seamlessly to provide comprehensive protection. That’s why 1620 Workwear incorporates technical features that work in conjunction with other PPE. Oversized hoodie hoods are designed to fit over hard hats, ensuring warmth without sacrificing protection. Our proprietary pant fabrics meet NFPA1975 no melt/no drip standards, providing an extra layer of defense against sparks and fire hazards. Additionally, when paired with safety goggles and respirator masks, these features help shield workers from airborne particles and other job site hazards, keeping them protected in high-risk environments.
While high-performance workwear is a cornerstone of safety, additional protective tools play an equally important role in minimizing workplace hazards. Helmets shield workers from head injuries caused by falling objects, while gloves provide essential hand protection against cuts, abrasions, and harsh chemicals. Safety goggles prevent debris, dust, and hazardous substances from reaching the eyes, and masks ensure respiratory safety by filtering out harmful airborne particles. Pairing these essential tools with 1620 Workwear’s durable, high-visibility apparel creates a comprehensive safety solution for any job site.
National Safety Day serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of proper work gear, but at 1620 Workwear, safety is a year-round commitment. From high-visibility apparel to fatigue-reducing fabrics and fire-resistant materials, we create gear that helps workers perform their jobs safely and efficiently every single day. This March 4, take the time to evaluate your safety gear—because when workplace safety comes first, everyone benefits.
By investing in high-performance workwear and essential PPE, workers can minimize risks, stay comfortable, and focus on getting the job done right.
