Bisley Workwear - Construction

Construction is the broadest workwear brief there is. One crew can have a concreter kneeling on slab all morning, a rigger who needs to be seen from a crane cab, and a chippy working off a ladder in the afternoon heat — and site rules usually mean all of them are in hi vis before they walk through the gate.

That is why this range leans the way it does. Around half the styles here are hi vis, and most of those carry taped reflective so they hold up for day and night work rather than daylight only. Knee-reinforced and double-layer pants run through the range for anyone spending the day on concrete, and ripstop appears where abrasion against form-work, mesh and scaffold is the thing that finishes a garment early. There is a solid block of ventilated and lightweight builds for summer, wet weather shells for winter starts, and flame resistant styles for crews doing hot work.

The practical advice is to buy for the job rather than the trade name. A shirt that survives a fit-out will not survive a demolition crew, and the reverse is a waste of money. Site visibility class, day/night rating and any flame resistance requirement are set by your principal contractor or the site's safety plan — check the product page for what a garment is actually rated to, and check your site induction for what it has to be.
