Rail Spec

Rail infrastructure roles demand absolute precision, both in the work and the gear worn while doing it. Our rail spec workwear meets EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and Class 3 high visibility standards and is fully compliant with RIS-3279-TOM, making it suitable for Network Rail-approved activity.

Our collection includes high-visibility jackets designed for weather protection and mobility, rugged trousers with reflective panelling, zip-front coveralls for full-body protection, and breathable polo shirts for warmer conditions. Sweatshirts and waistcoats complete the offering for colder or layered use cases.

Each piece is built to handle long shifts, restricted visibility, and high-risk environments, without sacrificing comfort. Features such as secure fastenings, adjustable cuffs, ID card holders, and reinforced seams ensure workers are both safe and fully equipped.

Customisation is available across the range, and we adjust embroidery and print placement to comply with visibility regulations, ensuring no detail interferes with critical reflective zones or approved design criteria.

What does RIS-3279 certification mean for rail workwear?
RIS-3279-TOM is a mandatory standard for any clothing worn on or near railway infrastructure in the UK. It covers specific design elements such as high-visibility orange fabric, reflective placement, and approved garment structure. Only products that meet these guidelines are permitted on Network Rail sites.

Are all garments in this category fully compliant with EN ISO 20471?
Yes, every item here meets EN ISO 20471 for high visibility. Class 2 garments offer intermediate visibility, while Class 3 provides the highest level, typically required for high-speed or low-light work environments.

Can we add our logo without affecting compliance?
Yes, our team ensures logo size and position meet regulatory requirements. Logos are placed so they don’t obstruct reflective tapes or violate the visible area ratios set by EN ISO and RIS-3279.

What types of jobs typically require rail spec workwear?
Roles in rail construction, trackside maintenance, signalling, inspections, and overhead line work all require RIS-3279-compliant clothing. This range is suitable for contractors, engineers, and operational staff alike.

How durable is your rail workwear range?
Our garments are made with reinforced stitching, abrasion-resistant fabrics, and secure fastenings to handle demanding tasks in all weather conditions. Many items also feature water resistance and added breathability for comfort during extended wear.

Can I speak with someone about selecting the right rail-compliant garments?
Yes. Our experienced team can help you choose products that meet current rail regulations and advise on logo placement. Just get in touch before ordering.
