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 welding PPE requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: mine workshops need heavy leather gloves, helmets and flame-resistant overalls for repairs
- Electrical contractors and power utilities: boiler and pipework welders need flame-resistant clothing, long gloves and welding respirators
- Building and civil contractors: steel erectors and site welders need leather gauntlets, helmets and harness-compatible aprons
- Warehouses, ports and transport: truck and trailer workshops need helmets, leather gloves and aprons for chassis repairs
- Factories and workshops: fabrication shops need helmets, leather aprons, spats and fume protection for daily welding
- Municipalities, cleaning and security services: municipal workshops need helmets, gloves and aprons for pipe and equipment repairs
