We are proud to share the results of a recent survey Tyndale sponsored asking members of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) about their arc-rated and flame resistant (AR / FR) clothing programs. We wanted to learn more about their preferences regarding:
- Products: favorite brands, clothing options, key product attributes
- Services: favorite suppliers and key criteria for evaluating a supplier
Demographics
A total of 166 professionals participated from industries requiring AR / FR protective clothing. Companies ranged in size from under 50 to over 1,000 employees. A combination of safety decision-makers and personnel who wear AR / FR clothing responded to the survey and answered questions about AR / FR products and services, company apparel programs, types of hazards, and purchasing decision rationale. When asked about the types of clothing programs their company uses, the results were split between uniform programs and full choice programs.
Product and Service Preferences – Key Takeaways
- Safety professionals rated Tyndale among the top 5 AR / FR clothing brands nationwide.
As a matter of fact, we ranked 4th among other big names in workwear, such as Carhartt, Bulwark, Ariat, and Wrangler – all brands we distribute along with many others.
- Tyndale was voted the #1 AR / FR clothing brand based on priced-right products.
When it comes to quality, comfort, price, and value – critical requirements identified by survey participants – Tyndale clothing scored extremely well and outperformed all other brands when rated for price and value.
- Tyndale was among the top 3 service providers that manage AR / FR clothing programs.
We’re known for the extensive services we provide to companies AND wearers, including user-friendly online ordering, individualized delivery, comprehensive reporting, dedicated account management, wearer-specific support, professional embellishments, and much more!
