Protective workwear that is washed incorrectly can quickly lose its safety properties.

Home washing degrades flame-retardant coatings, high-visibility reflectives and waterproof membranes, often without any visible sign of damage.

phs Besafe operates a fully managed industrial laundry service that preserves the technical performance of every garment, with collection and delivery handled for you across the UK. 

What Is an Industrial Laundry Service? 

Its a professionally managed wash-and-return process built specifically for workwear, PPE and uniforms used in heavy industries.

Unlike domestic or general commercial laundry, industrial laundering uses specialist detergents and controlled wash cycles calibrated to each garment's fabric and protective classification.  

For sectors such as construction, manufacturing, utilities, transport and rail, maintaining garment integrity is not optional. It is a legal obligation under PUWER and sector-specific PPE standards. An industrial laundry service protects that compliance at scale.  

How the phs Besafe Industrial Laundry Process Works

The service follows a simple collect, wash, return cycle: 

1

Soiled garments are placed in labelled collection bags or bulk-collector lockers at your site

2

phs Besafe collects at agreed intervals and transports garments to the laundry facility

3

Each garment is sorted by fabric type, hazard class and wash requirement

4

A specialist wash cycle removes contamination while preserving waterproof, flame-retardant and high-visibility properties

5

Every garment is inspected and repaired where needed before return

6

Clean garments are delivered back to your site or directly into individual staff lockers within seven days of collection

Unique Wash Process: Protecting Garment Performance

The wash process is the core differentiator. phs Besafe uses specialist detergents that are kind to the skin, free from irritants, and formulated to prevent fading and fabric damage. The process is calibrated to maintain: 

  • Flame-retardant (FR) properties to EN ISO 11612 and EN ISO 11611
  • High-visibility reflective performance to EN ISO 20471
  • Arc protection (ARC) ratings
  • Waterproof and water-repellent membranes

Home or standard commercial washing can degrade these properties within a small number of cycles. Industrial laundering maintains garment certification across the full working life of each item.

Garment Tracking and Service Reporting

Every garment in the phs Besafe service carries a unique barcode. That barcode records the garment's owner, employer, assigned site and full wash history. This delivers:  

Traceability

lost or misplaced garments can be located and returned 

Audit readiness

Wash history is available for compliance checks 

Proactive maintenance:

Repair and replacement flags are raised automatically

Inventory visibility:

Management reports show your full garment fleet in real time 

For multi-site operations, barcode tracking replaces manual inventory management entirely.

Inspection and Repairs

Throughout the laundry process, every garment is visually inspected before being returned. The phs Besafe team carries out minor repairs as part of the managed service, including leg or sleeve shortening, zip replacement and seam repairs. Garments that cannot be safely repaired are flagged for replacement rather than returned to site. 

This inspection step extends the working life of each garment and reduces the cost of premature replacement across your fleet.  

We’ll also handle sustainable and secure uniform and garment destruction for end-of-life PPE.
