Construction is one of the few industries that, for obvious reasons, cannot be done from home during the Covid-19 pandemic. To keep employees safe, procedures have been put in place to ensure staff are able to complete a build whilst remaining at a distance. These include one-way systems on-site, the wearing of masks and a reduced number of workers on a project. But it is in addition to these, your construction uniform could also lower the need for unnecessary interaction. Bit of a curveball change you may be thinking but read on and we will explain why.
What is personalised construction uniform?
Construction uniform includes high-visibility jackets, safety hats and cargo trousers. These can be embroidered with your company name and logo and customised further for individual team members. At the Uniform Room, we pride ourselves on the high-tech embroidery process, with our industrial machinery allowing different thread colours for maximum customisation. And our personalised workwear will survive the rough and tumble of a working day on-site, with daily washes not affecting the quality of the logo.
How it can help with social distancing in construction
Communication is an integral part of on-site construction and in the pre-Covid world, sites would have been full of movement when seeking answers to various queries. Unless you knew exactly who the best person to ask was, you may have needed to interact with several colleagues before you got a definitive answer, especially on large sites where you most likely would not know each of your colleagues’ specific role, expertise or authority.
Personalised construction uniform can display the details of each employee on their outfit. For instance, their job role, what department they work in and if they are a manager. This would remove a convoluted journey to resolving an issue, meaning less movement and close contact communication on-site, making it safer for Covid-19 regulations. In fact, this would even be more time-efficient for your business in a world where there is no need for the Covid regulations (which will hopefully be soon!)
Other benefits to personalised uniform
Just having the company name and logo on your uniform will increase brand awareness and professional trust. This is especially useful with a frequently outdoor industry like construction, which is in public view. Personalised uniform also provides a sense of team unity which can boost morale, particularly useful throughout this difficult working period.
