Apparel Supply is predominantly focused on designing and producing occupational clothing falling under the aegis of PPE, including PPE that is classified as Complex Design, that is Apparel to protect against mortal danger including Fire and Arc explosions. Solutions must take into consideration the multi-functional demands and core skills of the modern workers. Increasingly, in the complex modern world, multi-skilled operatives are required to tackle emergencies and incidents which demand higher levels of specific protection than was traditionally the case. Many incidents require co-operation between other arms of the emergency forces, the Police and Ambulance Services as well as specialist help in dealing with incidents at industrial sites such as Refineries, Chemical plants and Airports. Providing the right equipment to deal with such emergencies requires knowledge of specific needs.
All the products offered by Apparel Supply have been designed in consultation with Irish & UK Fire & Rescue Services and such co-operation will continue to play a fundamental role in our on-going research and development.
