Do your employees have to deal with potential risks of flames, heat, sparks, metal splashes, chemicals and the risk of explosion on a daily basis? Then we recommend the very best protection by wearing multinorm work clothing. Here we tell you what things you should pay attention to when purchasing the right multinorm work clothing.
What is Multinorm workwear? 
Multinorm work clothing complies with several European Standards (EN). This means that with this clothing your employees are optimally protected against risks that may occur in the working environment. These can be weather elements such as cold, wind, rain or UV radiation. But also open flames or dangerous chemicals. Many of our multinorm items comply with the EN ISO 20471 standard and therefore offer good visibility, both during the day and at night. That is why fluorescent and reflective elements are used according to the highest standards.
