Steel & Iron Workers
Branded Apparel for Steel Crews. Planned Around the Approved Spec.
Plan branded apparel around the employer's written garment and PPE requirements. Bighorn coordinates approved products and decoration through selected production partners.
Las Vegas structural steel and ironworking crews may need different apparel by task. The employer selects any high-visibility, flame-resistant, or protective product. Bighorn coordinates the approved order and decoration through selected production partners.
Compliance & Spec
Three requirements to review for ironworker apparel.
Steel erection can involve hi-vis, FR, and fall-protection requirements. Your employer selects compatible PPE. Bighorn can source garment options and coordinate approved decoration after the safety lead provides the specification.
Hi-vis at height — visible from the crane and the ground
The employer and site safety plan determine the required high-visibility class and product. Review the current ANSI/ISEA 107 requirements and the exact garment certificate before ordering.
Task-specific protective apparel selection
Welding, cutting, flash-fire, and electrical hazards are not interchangeable. The employer must identify the exact hazard and select the complete protective system under the applicable requirements and current product documentation. Any decoration requires employer and manufacturer approval before production.
Steel erection apparel reviewed against the spec
The employer selects fall protection and PPE under the applicable OSHA requirements. Obtain manufacturer approval before adding identifiers or decoration to any protective equipment.

The Buyer's Guide
Branded workwear for Las Vegas structural steel, iron, and welding crews.
Structural steel and iron work can involve heat, welding, cutting, rigging, and abrasion. The employer's hazard assessment controls PPE and apparel choices. Bighorn manages workwear programs and coordinates approved decoration through selected production partners.
The employer's hazard assessment determines whether a worker needs flame-resistant clothing and which rating applies. Verify the exact product certificate, fit, care instructions, and worksite requirements before approving a garment.
Protective layers and welding PPE remain employer-controlled. If decoration is requested, the exact garment manufacturer and employer must approve the proposed patch, thread, backing, method, and placement.
Pants for structural steel work may need abrasion and heat features. Carhartt B324 and Bulwark PEW2 are options to compare. Boots remain outside Bighorn's scope. Your employer determines any hi-vis requirement. Bighorn coordinates approved garment decoration through selected production partners.
For a full-crew program, document the products required by role, size list, replacement process, artwork, destination, and schedule. Company-store access, inventory responsibility, reorder rules, production, and fulfillment depend on the written program setup.
