nce protecting professionals. ProtecWork is a collection of protective wear that combines expert know-how of heat and flame protection with Snickers Workwear’s renowned ergonomics and fit. In order to offer the best heat and flame-retardant garments, Snickers Workwear has acquired a leading brand on the Swedish market that boasts over 20 years’ experience designing and developing protective wear for the energy and railway sectors. The result is a cutting-edge collection that offers inherent heat and flame protection, excellent durability, great comfort and an ergonomic, modern fit. Developed in close partnership with professionals. Our protective wear is the result of a long and successful partnership with professionals working in the energy and railway sectors. They’re the ones working in high-risk environments, and the only ones who truly know how protective wear is used and functions in the real world. This close partnership has resulted in several innovative features, such as symmetrical leg pockets and DuPont™Kevlar® reinforced pockets. Protective wear vs workwear. – a matter of life and death. There’s a big difference between workwear and protective wear. Workwear exists to make your working day more comfortable and efficient, with handy features for tools and other necessities, as well as protection against cold and rain. Protective wear, on the other hand, exists to protect the wearer from serious risks such as heat, flames, electric arcs and hazardous chemicals, or to protect the product from the wearer (against dust, dirt or electrostatic charge). Layer up to increase your protection. One of the best ways to improve your level of protection is to wear layers (all layers/garments must of course be certified and flame retardant). The main benefit of wearing layers is that the air gap formed between different garments provides increased protection. There is no general rating for how much increased protection the air gap between layers provides, although we have conducted a number of tests that show that the air gap increases protection by more than 5 cal/cm2 . Standards and requirements dictate our design. Our product development always starts with the item’s intended use and the task at hand. What are the risks in the work environment? What do the standards require? And what does the wearer need in order to perform optimally? Working based on these facts and requirements, and by conducting thorough tests throughout the entire process, we can develop functional, comfortable and above all safe Personal Protective Equipment.
