Who we supply across Sydney
Our customers are the people who wear the gear: plumbers, electricians, carpenters, builders and construction crews, councils, mining operations, transport and logistics companies, mechanics and laboratories. Some buy a single pair of boots; others fit out whole crews across several sites. For businesses that order regularly we set up trade accounts.
What we stock
Hi-vis workwear
Day, Night and Day/Night garments to AS/NZS 4602.1 from Bisley, Hard Yakka, DNC, KingGee, Syzmik and Portwest. Sydney summers call for light, vented long sleeves such as the Syzmik Hi Vis Outdoor Long Sleeve Shirt ZW468 (100 gsm with underarm and back venting); the KingGee Hi Vis Short Sleeve T-Shirt K54034 is a budget Day-only option for crew fit-outs. See our Sydney hi-vis guide.
Safety boots
Steel and composite toe boots certified to AS 2210.3 from Steel Blue, Blundstone, Mongrel, Hard Yakka, KingGee, Puma and uvex — including the classic Blundstone Unisex Elastic Sided Leather Safety Boots #310. Guides: construction boots, warehouse boots and women’s boots.
Gloves
Disposables, riggers and cut-resistant gloves graded A to F under AS/NZS 2161.3, from Ansell, ATG MaxiFlex, NXG, uvex and HexArmor — for example the NXG™ Black Dog Cut D P-8175. See the cut glove guide.
Head, eye, hearing and respiratory protection
Hard hats to AS/NZS 1801, such as the ProChoice V9 Hard Hat Vented Ratchet Harness HHV9R; safety glasses to AS/NZS 1337.1; Class 1–5 earplugs and earmuffs; and P2 and P3 respirators from 3M, Moldex and Sundström. Guides: hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection and respirators.
Site safety
Height safety, traffic control equipment, safety signs, spill kits and first aid kits such as the Workplace First Aid Kit - Portable WP1 (Hard Case).
PPE for Sydney conditions
- Heat and UV: long-sleeve vented hi-vis with UPF 50+, brim hats, sunscreen and electrolytes from our sun safety and hydration range.
- Wet weather: waterproof hi-vis jackets and pants for the east-coast storm season.
- Silica dust: engineered stone has been banned nationally since 1 July 2024, but cutting concrete, brick, tile and natural stone still creates respirable silica — P2 at minimum, fitted to a clean-shaven face.
- Traffic: Day/Night hi-vis for anyone working near roads, early starts and late finishes.
