U.S. Construction
Industry Overview

The construction industry is a cornerstone of the American economy. As of 2024, the sector employs over 8.1 million workers and contributes approximately $2.1 trillion annually to the U.S. GDP. From residential builds and commercial skyscrapers to public infrastructure and renewable energy projects, construction is booming—but it also remains one of the most dangerous industries in the country.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction consistently ranks in the top five for workplace injuries and fatalities. In 2022 alone, there were over 169,000 nonfatal injuries and over 1,000 fatalities reported in construction. The top causes? Falls, struck-by objects, electrocutions, and caught-in/between incidents—most of which are preventable with the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

The Critical Role of PPE
in Construction Safety

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is the last line of defense between a worker and serious injury—or worse. From hard hats and steel-toe boots to fall arrest harnesses and high-vis apparel, PPE saves lives every single day.

Some key stats that highlight the importance of PPE:

  • 60% of workers involved in eye injuries were not wearing any eye protection at the time of the incident (CDC).
  • According to OSHA, 70% of hand injuries could be prevented with proper gloves.
  • In cases where PPE was used improperly, nearly 80% of the injuries were due to failure to wear it correctly or consistently.

These numbers underscore one truth:
PPE only works if it’s high-quality, properly selected, and consistently used.

Why a Trusted PPE Supplier
Matters More Than Ever

With OSHA enforcement ramping up and site safety under increasing scrutiny, choosing the right PPE partner is not just
about buying gear—it’s about protecting your people and your business. Here’s why construction companies should
carefully vet their PPE suppliers:

  • Custom Solutions

    Need branded gear or task-specific protection? The right partner offers tailored packages based on your site conditions and project requirements.

  • Compliance Assurance

    A reliable supplier ensures your equipment meets ANSI, OSHA, and
state-specific regulations—minimizing the risk of citations, shutdowns, or costly fines.

  • Long-Term Risk Reduction

    Preventing one serious injury could save hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost time, insurance claims, and legal exposure. A good supplier helps you stay ahead of risks.

  • Worker Buy-In

    Comfortable, breathable, and ergonomic PPE increases compliance and wearability. When workers like the gear, they're far more likely to use it consistently and correctly.

  • Site Efficiency & Cost Control

    Top-tier suppliers provide bulk pricing, fast fulfillment, inventory management, and product education—saving you time, money, and administrative hassle.

Frequently
Asked Questions About PPE for Construction

What PPE do I need to equip my construction crew with to stay compliant with safety regulations?
Many of our clients worry about meeting OSHA and local safety requirements. We help you navigate these regulations by recommending PPE tailored to your site’s hazards—from hard hats and fall protection to cut-resistant gloves and hearing protection—ensuring full compliance and peace of mind.
How can I be sure your PPE meets safety standards and certifications?
A common concern is purchasing sub-par gear that won’t hold up to inspections. All our PPE products are tested and certified to meet or exceed ANSI/OSHA standards, and we provide documentation so you’re covered during audits or compliance checks.
How do I choose the right PPE for specific tasks on my job site?
Clients often ask us how to avoid under- or over-equipping their teams. We offer task-specific recommendations and risk assessment support to make sure you get the right level of protection—nothing more or less than what you need.
Is your PPE comfortable enough for long shifts in extreme conditions?
Discomfort leads to non-compliance. That’s why we design PPE with breathable, lightweight, and ergonomic materials, ensuring workers wear it properly—even during hot summers or long hours.
Can your PPE handle rugged use and harsh job site environments?
Construction sites are tough, and so is our gear. Our clients look for durability and longevity, which is why our products are built with reinforced stitching, puncture-resistant materials, and weatherproof coatings that stand up to real-world conditions.
Do you offer bulk pricing or support for outfitting entire crews?
Budget is a big concern for contractors. We offer bulk purchase options, site-wide outfitting packages, and custom pricing to help you equip your team affordably without sacrificing safety.
What’s the turnaround time for orders—can I get PPE fast?
When new projects pop up or inspections are looming, speed matters. We maintain a robust inventory and offer fast shipping and rush fulfillment options to keep your job site running without delay.
Do you offer branded or customized PPE for my crew?
Clients love promoting their brand while keeping teams safe. We offer custom logo printing and color options on a range of PPE items—from vests to hard hats—without compromising safety or certifications.
Can you help us train our team on how to use and maintain PPE correctly?
A major pain point is improper use of gear. We provide user guides, on-site safety posters, and virtual training resources so your team knows how to wear, care for, and inspect PPE correctly.
What support do you offer post-purchase?
Our relationship doesn’t end at checkout. We offer ongoing support, easy reordering options, and product updates, so your PPE program stays efficient, compliant, and up to date.

Safety Is Non-Negotiable

The construction industry is growing, but so is the scrutiny around safety. With billions of dollars riding on timely project completion and a human life behind every hard hat, investing in a trusted PPE supplier is not just smart business
—it’s a moral and strategic imperative.

If you’re building something that lasts, your safety program—and your PPE partner—should be built to last, too.
