Rail PPE & Workwear
Supplying compliant, correctly specified PPE for rail environments
SpeedStitch supplies rail‑spec PPE and workwear for contractors and businesses operating in rail and rail‑controlled environments. Our approach is straightforward: we focus on correct specification, recognised standards and honest advice, rather than treating rail as generic construction PPE.
What we supply
We supply a core rail PPE and workwear kit, including:
- RIS‑3279‑TOM compliant rail hi‑vis clothing (orange & yellow)
- Rail‑spec trousers, jackets, coveralls and waterproofs
- Mid‑layers including fleeces and softshells
- Hi‑vis vests and waistcoats
- Safety footwear suitable for rail environments
- Helmets, gloves and eye protection
- Flame‑resistant and arc‑rated garments (role‑dependent)
All rail hi‑vis garments supplied are RIS‑3279‑TOM compliant, and sourced from established manufacturers.
Standards & compliance
Rail PPE is not one‑size‑fits‑all. We take time to understand:
- The working environment
- The role being undertaken
- Applicable rail standards and risk levels
This ensures PPE is appropriate, compliant and fit for purpose, particularly where electrified environments or higher‑risk roles are involved.
Where specialist protection is required, we work collaboratively with rail‑focused PPE partners to ensure correct specification.
Branding & decoration
Where appropriate, we can add embroidery or print to rail garments without compromising compliance.
Decoration is assessed on a case‑by‑case basis, and we will always advise where branding is not suitable – particularly on flame‑resistant or arc‑rated garments.
Who we support
We can typically support:
- Rail contractors and subcontractors
- Infrastructure and civils companies working on rail projects
- Maintenance and inspection teams
- Businesses operating within rail‑controlled environments
