PPE in Kathu
Kathu is the service town for the Sishen iron ore and Kalahari manganese fields, and it has grown quickly around them. Open-pit mines, crushers, rail loading and heavy-vehicle workshops run around the clock in the Gamagara area, so orders are mostly for mine-standard boots, helmets, hi-vis clothing, safety glasses, ear protection and dust masks. Contractors for civil works, solar plants and logistics add steady volume. Summers regularly exceed 38 degrees and the red Kalahari dust is fine and abrasive, so ventilation and lens quality matter. Kathu has a small supply base of workwear shops and distributors, while bulk and branded orders are often quoted from Kimberley, Upington or Gauteng.

Typical construction PPE requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: mine building projects need helmets, reflective clothing and boots that meet mine site rules
- Electrical contractors and power utilities: substation and solar construction needs insulated gloves, hi-vis and fall protection
- Building and civil contractors: building, civils and roadworks crews need hard hats, hi-vis, boots and eye protection
- Warehouses, ports and transport: warehouse and yard construction needs hi-vis, boots and helmets near moving vehicles
- Factories and workshops: factory extensions need site PPE plus dust masks for cutting and grinding work
- Municipalities, cleaning and security services: road, water and sewer contractors need hi-vis, gumboots, gloves and hard hats
