Most construction and site teams need work trousers, a mid-layer such as a sweatshirt or fleece, and an outer jacket, along with polo shirts or T-shirts for warmer conditions. Specific requirements depend on site rules, the season, the task and any employer or client uniform policy.

Teams working at floor level may also need knee protection, and those handling specialist tasks may require coveralls or other task-specific garments. A site-specific risk assessment helps determine what is needed alongside any certified PPE.

No. General workwear is not automatically PPE. For a garment to function as PPE, it must carry the relevant EN certification, UKCA or CE marking and a declaration of conformity for the specific protection it provides.

Some garments in the workwear range may also carry relevant certifications where applicable, such as certified knee-protection systems or certified weather-protection properties. Buyers should check the garment specification and product documentation where protection is required. Workwear without relevant certification should not be relied upon as PPE.

Consider durability, pocket layout, fit, fabric weight and reinforcement at key wear points. For teams carrying out kneeling tasks, look for trousers with EN 14404-compatible knee pockets that accept the relevant knee pads.

Fabric choice matters for seasonal comfort, and wash-care and branding requirements should be checked against team volume and laundering arrangements. View the workwear trousers range.

Knee protection is typically needed where a risk assessment identifies that work involves prolonged kneeling or floor-level tasks. EN 14404 covers knee protectors for work in the kneeling position and sets performance requirements by task type and surface.

Where knee protection is required, trousers should have compatible knee-pad pockets to ensure the protector stays correctly positioned during use. View the knee protection range.

Yes. CMT holds large stocks of workwear lines and supports trade and contract accounts with bulk ordering, account-based pricing and repeat supply. The EDGE B2B Portal provides self-serve procurement with order tracking and easy reordering for account holders.

For project rollouts involving branded garments, CMT's Brandit service handles embroidery and print alongside the bulk order. Contact the team to discuss project requirements and lead times.

CMT holds BSI ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management accreditation and CHAS Elite accreditation, both of which are supplier and company-level assurances. These support buyer confidence when ordering workwear for site teams, projects and repeat supply, and are relevant to procurement and supply-chain requirements.

These accreditations apply at the company level and do not replace garment-level or product-level certification. Where protective clothing is required, buyers should still check the relevant garment specification, applicable product standard, certification and documentation for each item.
