PPE in Cape Town
Cape Town is the largest economy in the Western Cape, with the harbour, ship repair yards, oil services, food and beverage plants, clothing factories and a very large construction sector. Dock and warehouse crews need hi-vis clothing, boots and hard hats, while the film and hospitality industries buy uniforms and branded workwear. Hospitals, municipal departments and cleaning contractors order gloves, masks and aprons in volume. Winter brings cold, wet and windy weather that makes rain suits and jackets essential, while summer is dry and hot. The city has a deep supplier base of manufacturers, distributors, embroiderers and workwear shops across Montague Gardens, Epping and Parow.

Typical electrical PPE requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, ports and transport: warehouse and port electricians need arc-rated clothing for switchgear and charging systems
- Building and civil contractors: site electricians need insulated gloves, dielectric boots and face shields for temporary supplies
- Factories and workshops: factory maintenance teams need arc-rated overalls and gloves for motor control centres
- Hospitals, clinics and laboratories: hospital engineers need insulating gloves and face shields for distribution board work
- Municipalities, cleaning and security services: municipal electrical teams need arc suits, insulating gloves and boots for network work
- Food and beverage processors: cold store and plant electricians need arc-rated clothing and insulating gloves
