Workwear FAQ

What counts as workwear?

Workwear refers to clothing designed for job-specific safety, durability, and comfort. This includes hi-vis clothing, work trousers, safety footwear, flame-resistant garments, gloves, and protective layers used across construction, warehousing, engineering, and confirmation trade environments.

Can workwear be claimed as a tax deduction in the UK?

In many cases, HMRC allows tax relief on specialist protective clothing required for your job, such as safety boots or protective PPE. Everyday clothing does not qualify. Always check official HMRC guidance or speak with your accountant.

Do you supply workwear for small businesses and large teams?

Yes. Active Workwear supplies individuals, sole traders, and large companies. We support repeat orders across multiple categories including hi-vis, trousers, and PPE for consistent uniforms.

What is the difference between workwear and PPE?

Workwear improves durability and comfort during work, while PPE protects against specific hazards. Many roles require both, for example hi-vis clothing for visibility and protective equipment for safety compliance.

Which industries is industrial workwear designed for?

Our workwear range is commonly used in construction, engineering, logistics, manufacturing, and maintenance roles. Workers often combine durable garments with safety footwear and task-specific protective equipment.
