Man tips

With the aim of making protective workwear more appealing to tradespeople, Scruffs has launched a series of Man Tips on its website www.scruffs.com Through the tips, Scruffs advocator, Uncle 'Arry gives tradesman straight talking advice about man things and is said to provide an essential survival guide to life's 'what if' scenarios.

The tips won't be to everyone's taste, and a word of warning, the "Safety on Site" section provides advice on the risks associated with 'banging' in the less traditional sense of the word.

However the website does showcase a wide selection of creative and functional PPE that is said to be very appealing to wear, hopefully promoting compliance in this area.
