Grounds maintenance covers a wide array of activities, such as grass cutting, weeding, pruning, hedge cutting, parks cleansing (litter and bin clearance, etc.), and more.

Technical services is the term used to describe FM services which are carried out by qualified professionals, such as engineers or mechanics. The scope of technical services is far-reaching and includes roles such as lift maintenance, repairs, plumbing and drainage, furniture, fittings, equipment maintenance, electrical services, utility management, air conditioning and ventilation (HVAC), and much more!
As such, it comes as no surprise that the PPE and workwear requirements for such a sector are as broad as the industry itself. Fall arrest, head protection, high visibility clothing, safety eyewear, hand protection, hearing protection, safety footwear, and RPE may all be requirements, depending on the task at hand.
Lifts and escalators require installation (including associated builders-work and electrical work), maintenance, repair works, and modernisation (in some cases!).
All lift and escalator work must be appropriately supervised and carried out in a safe manner, including the provision of appropriate PPE and workwear for the task ahead. This commonly includes safety eyewear, safety footwear, hand protection, head protection, and high visibility clothing.
The Aviation sector involves a range of tasks to ensure planes are ready to take flight. One of the key aspects is loading and unloading luggage/freight items, and handling potentially hazardous cargo in the process. There are also mechanical and electrical repairs required for aircraft, meaning PPE and workwear is a critical element of the broader Health and Safety strategy.
The Defence sector delivers critical support services to military organisations in the UK, such as running marine operations, modernisation and maintenance of ships and aircraft, operation of nuclear facilities, management of satellite systems, and more. Robust and reliable PPE and workwear are vitally important in such hazardous environments.
