Meanwhile, the packaging for Steel Blue’s Pink & Purple Boots includes a shower tag diagram that highlights the importance of giving yourself a regular check and shows you how to conduct one for yourself.

Thanks to our partnership with Breast Cancer Care WA, we’re helping to raise funds and awareness of the most common invasive cancer in Australia.

Empowering Women in Industrial Workwear:

Insights from Hannah and Sylvia at Heatleys.

The shift to workwear designed specifically for women has become a game-changer in the industrial sector. For professionals like Hannah and Sylvia at Heatleys Safety, Industrial & Automotive, the introduction of tailored uniforms by Bisley Workwear has significantly improved comfort, efficiency, and workplace culture.

Hannah, an Operations Support professional at Heatleys, has experienced the positive impact of workwear designed specifically for women. “The introduction of tailored uniforms has made a huge difference,” she says. “With more breathable fabrics and better-fitting designs, I can move freely and focus on my tasks without distraction.”

As Warehouse Team Leader at Heatleys, Sylvia has seen firsthand how well-designed workwear fosters a positive workplace culture. “The shift from unisex to female-specific clothing has been transformative,” she explains. “When we feel confident in what we wear, it directly enhances our focus and productivity, allowing us to excel in our roles”

For Sylvia, this change is about more than just function. “When women feel good in what they wear, it boosts our confidence and performance,” she says. “It’s about respect, showing women, they are valued team members.”

Sylvia, who is committed to promoting inclusivity in the workplace, believes that investing in workwear tailored for women is essential for breaking down gender stereotypes and creating a culture of respect and professionalism.

For both Hannah and Sylvia, the introduction of Bisley Workwear’s female-specific range has been a pivotal step in creating a more inclusive and supportive environment within the industrial sector.

Championing Inclusivity:

Tayla’s mission to redefine Women’s Workwear in the Mining Industry.

We reach out to loyal customer, Tayla the Commercial Procurement Lead at MLG and ask why workwear designed specifically for women is so important and how it impacts confidence, morale and productivity in the workplace.

Tayla has worked in the mining industry for nearly 8 years and has always been passionate about women in the mining industry, making her the perfect advocate for quality workwear, as well as closing the gender gap in what is still typically seen as a male dominated industry.

“Women go through many phases of life which impact us physically and while this may be a sensitive subject for some, it is pivotal to ensure women are supported and understood by their employers.” Says Tayla.

“Employers issuing correct workwear not only ensures that your female employees are safe and protected, but it also significantly improves their confidence and therefore productivity and morale. Women should not have to size up, or wear workwear that is branded as ‘fit for women’, but really designed for men or labelled as unisex. Workwear needs to be curated for the female body, to accommodate the different phases of life, as well as support a safe and productive workplace.”

Bisley Workwear is at the forefront of women’s workwear with their inclusive range of styles and options, which is one of the many reasons Tayla ensures it’s MLG’s workwear of choice for their female employees, through their partnership with Heatleys. MLG is quickly becoming one of the key employers of choice in the mining industry, especially for women. This is due to their inclusive nature that is cultivated through the values of integrity, innovation, accountability, teamwork and courage.

“I believe all companies, especially those that provide employment in a male dominated industry, owe it to all employees to ensure a collaborative and inclusive environment where people can feel safe and supported to show up every day.”
