Logistics Workwear

What to Look for in Logistics Workwear

The right workwear depends on the role - warehouse picking looks different to yard work or last-mile delivery. A few things make the difference across all of them:

EN ISO 20471 compliant hi-vis for any role working near vehicles or on site

Durable outerwear that handles early mornings and outdoor exposure without restricting movement

Breathable base layers for warehouse environments where temperatures can run warm

Layering options - a fleece or bodywarmer that works under a hi-vis jacket on cold shifts

Customisation-ready garments if you're running a branded uniform across a team

Frequently asked questions

Depends on the role. Warehouse staff typically need durable, comfortable base layers - t-shirts, polos, or sweatshirts - and may not need hi-vis unless they're working near moving vehicles. Yard, loading, and delivery roles usually require EN ISO 20471 compliant hi-vis as a minimum. A warm outer layer is worth having for anyone spending time outside, especially on early shifts.

Not across the board. It depends on where staff are working and what's moving around them. Any role near forklift traffic, loading vehicles, or public roads will typically require hi-vis as a condition of entry or company policy. EN ISO 20471 Class 2 covers most warehouse and yard environments - Class 3 for highway-adjacent work. Check your site's risk assessment if you're not sure what applies.

For hi-vis, EN ISO 20471 is the main standard. Class 2 is the minimum for most logistics environments with vehicle movement. General workwear doesn't carry a mandatory standard for the sector, but EN ISO 13688 sets a baseline for protective clothing performance. If your operation involves specific risks - cold stores, chemical handling - additional PPE standards may apply.
