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 mining PPE requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: underground crews need metatarsal guards, water resistance and anti-static soles
- Electrical contractors and power utilities: coal-fired power stations need dust protection and hi-vis overalls around mine conveyors
- Building and civil contractors: tunnelling and civils crews working near mines need rock-proof boots and reflective overalls
- Warehouses, ports and transport: ore haulage and rail loading need hi-vis, safety boots and dust masks
- Factories and workshops: mineral processing plants need dust masks, hearing protection and flame-retardant overalls
- Municipalities, cleaning and security services: municipal sand and gravel quarries need helmets, glasses and hearing protectors
