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 electrical PPE requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: mine electricians working on reticulation need arc-rated clothing and insulating gloves
- Electrical contractors and power utilities: substation and power station crews need arc suits, class-rated gloves and arc hoods
- Building and civil contractors: site electricians need insulated gloves, dielectric boots and face shields for temporary supplies
- Warehouses, ports and transport: warehouse and port electricians need arc-rated clothing for switchgear and charging systems
- Factories and workshops: factory maintenance teams need arc-rated overalls and gloves for motor control centres
- Municipalities, cleaning and security services: municipal electrical teams need arc suits, insulating gloves and boots for network work
