How many pregnant workers are moving through industrial environments in garments worn partially open, caught on equipment due to excess fabric, or restricted in their movement — not because proper options don't exist, but because the fit issue has never been addressed? The costs extend far beyond a poorly fitting garment: OSHA complaints, workers' compensation claims, reduced productivity, reassigned job duties, and the very real risk of injury to a worker and her unborn child.
Improperly fitted PPE is a liability — operational, financial, legal, and human — and for many organizations, it is one that remains entirely unaddressed.
If you've managed safety for a team that includes pregnant workers, you already know the challenge. You've watched standard garments stop fitting mid-pregnancy, issued larger sizes knowing it wasn't a real solution, and hoped for the best. Maybe you searched for maternity-specific PPE and came up empty. Maybe you reassigned job duties to reduce exposure risk, or looked the other way when a garment was worn open because there simply was no better option available. You did what you could with what existed — because until now, that was all there was.
Rugged Peach Workwear exists because that solution should have existed long ago. Our maternity-specific high-visibility garments are engineered from the ground up to accommodate the changing proportions of a pregnant body — a fit that works with the body rather than against it. This wasn't designed from a spec sheet. It was designed by our founder, who wore ill-fitting PPE through her own pregnancies on an industrial worksite — and knew the industry needed a real solution.
Now, you can provide pregnant workers with PPE that actually does what PPE is supposed to do: fit correctly, function as intended, and keep the worker safe. The workaround ends here.
A standard unisex garment sized up may keep your employee visible, but the resulting bulk and reduced mobility introduce hazards that a visibility rating alone doesn't address.
As pregnancy progresses, fit is maintained — not compromised — keeping your employees mobile, compliant, and professionally presented on the job site.
Rugged Peach Workwear provides Class 2 Type R high-visibility maternity safety garments engineered for industrial workplace demands. For safety managers and employers, that means fewer workarounds, reduced administrative burden, and a workforce that stays on the job — not scrambling for a last-minute solution.
We believe the best conversations happen in person, on the floor, and in the field. Rugged Peach Workwear attends industry events and safety conferences to connect directly with the employers and safety professionals we built this for. See where we've been and where we're going next — we'd love to meet you.
