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 personal protective equipment requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: full underground and surface kit: hard hats with cap-lamp brackets, metatarsal boots, reflective overalls and respirators
- Electrical contractors and power utilities: arc-rated clothing, insulating gloves, dielectric boots and fall-arrest equipment for line and substation work
- Building and civil contractors: hard hats, safety boots, reflective vests, gloves and harnesses for every new site and subcontractor crew
- Warehouses, ports and transport: safety shoes, reflective vests and jackets, gloves and cold-store clothing for warehouse and yard teams
- Factories and workshops: safety shoes, overalls, cut-resistant gloves, glasses and ear plugs issued on a fixed schedule
- Municipalities, cleaning and security services: reflective vests and jackets, rain suits, gumboots and gloves for road, waste and cleaning crews
