Workwear for logistics and transport: things you didn’t know yet

In the logistics and transport sector, both appearance and safety are crucial. The right workwear provides both. But what exactly is involved when it comes to clothing in this industry? We answer the most frequently asked questions about logistics and transport workwear.

Which workwear is suitable for logistics and transport?

Workwear for logistics and transport must be comfortable, durable, and functional. Think of stretch work trousers, reflective jackets, and sturdy safety shoes.

Is workwear mandatory?

In many cases, workwear is mandatory in this sector, depending on the role. In warehouses and loading docks, for example, wearing safe and highly visible clothing is required by law.

What is the difference between regular clothing and workwear?

Workwear is specially designed for intensive use: it is stronger, more visible (high visibility), and often features practical details such as pockets and reinforcements at the knees.

What are the requirements for safety shoes in logistics?

Safety shoes must meet at least the S1 or S3 standard (safety class), depending on the work environment. Key features include anti-slip soles, steel toecaps, and shock absorption.

What should you consider when choosing workwear for drivers?

For drivers, it’s important to wear clothing that remains comfortable during long hours behind the wheel. In addition, the clothing must be safe during loading and unloading. Stretch fabrics, breathability, and a good fit are key points to consider.

Is reflective workwear required in transport?

In many cases, yes. For night shifts, outdoor work, or tasks in distribution centers, high visibility clothing is often required or strongly recommended. The clothing must comply with the ISO 20471 standard.

Can workwear be printed with a logo?

Yes, absolutely. Printing or embroidering your company logo strengthens brand recognition and creates a sense of unity within your team.

Can workwear be custom-made?

Yes, at Company Fits we offer tailored solutions or custom designs that match your brand identity and meet your functional requirements.

How long does workwear last?

Depending on usage, workwear typically lasts 6 to 12 months with daily intensive wear. However, it is difficult to express the exact lifespan of a garment in time, as it depends on several factors such as the number of washes, working conditions, and how carefully the clothing is worn and maintained. At Company Fits, we offer high-quality workwear designed to last as long as possible. Sustainability plays a key role in our products.
