Introduction
I'm pleased to introduce our new Network Rail cataloguefor PPE, which will make your working environment better.
The improvements are the result of listening to whatpeople working on the track have told us they need.And that is a wide range of consistently comfortable,right-sized PPE.
We expect our workforce to behave in a professionalmanner at work, and we must treat them in the same way.This starts before the working day begins by making surethat all workers have the tools and equipment they needto do their job. With regard to PPE, this means that theyshould be asked to wear high-quality clothing that makesthem feel they are dressed to do a professional and properday's work. It's as simple as that.
The catalogue offers a broad range, and our higheststandard yet, of breathable and visible PPE, and goesto the very heart of our everyday working lives.
I strongly believe that by focusing on the basic needs,we can positively influence the wider issues of safetyand performance on the railway.

How do I keep my garments clean? Easy...A Totally Unique Process
The first picture is of a new garment. Obviously itwould be nice if it stayed this way, realistically thoughit is more likely to look like the second picture onceit has been worn. The third picture shows a garmentthat quite clearly requires cleaning and this shouldnot continue to be worn. The final picture illustratesa garment that is heavily soiled to such a degree thatit may well impair the cleaning process.
No bleaching: The laundry clean garments withnaturally organic materials (no bleaches involved)and dry them at low temperatures.
No fading: The cleaning process does not bleachcolour, again because no bleaches are used.
Re-waterproofing: The laundry re-proof garmentseach time they are laundered.
Non tainting: The cleaning process removes all odours.
Non irritating: The laundry rinse all garmentsthoroughly leaving no residual solution to causeirritation to the skin.
A totally unique service: The laundry repair garmentsas and when necessary.
…with the Network Rail special laundry service forhigh visibility clothing.
The result of your workwear being unclean is unsafe,uneconomical and most certainly unlawful. Cleaningand re-processing is an effective way to stay safe,clean and legal.
Network Rail garments are barcoded before beingsent to the laundry and each wearer has a uniqueidentity that allows us to monitor how many timesthey have sent their garments in for cleaning or repair.If you move location or the barcode becomesdetached from your garment, fill in a tag providedby your supervisor and attach to garment BEFOREit goes into the laundry.
Every time your garments are received at our laundrywe manually inspect every item. Should any garment require replacing or repairing this will also be done atour laundry.

When it’s GORE-TEX® fabric, waterproof means waterproof
The bicomponent GORE-TEX membrane is made from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene(ePTFE). Although the membrane is micro-porous, a single droplet of water is 20,000times larger than each pore in the membrane. This is why GORE-TEX fabric is sowaterproof that it will not let water through up to pressures of 45psi.
When it’s GORE-TEX® fabric, breathable means breathable
Evaporation of sweat is an essential part of the process of temperature regulation by thebody. Even though the GORE-TEX membrane is totally impermeable to liquid water, thepores in the membrane are 700 times larger than water vapour molecule. Water vapourin the form of perspiration can easily pass out of the GORE-TEX garments and thewearer will stay cool. Breathable GORE-TEX fabric makes it easier for you to get on withyour work for longer.
