PPE Fit Survey
LiveA short, mobile-first survey covering all five launch categories, capturing what fails, how it fails and what workers do to get through the shift.
Pre-launch · women-led · research phase
PPE that actually fitswomen in the trades
Safety should fit the worker. The worker should not have to fit the gear. Fit For Her Work Gear is documenting where today's hard hats, safety glasses, hi-vis vests, hearing protection and gloves fail women on the job — in their words, from the field — so the next generation of gear works with women, not against them.

Proof of progress
What we have built so far
This is a live pre-launch research and validation platform, not a concept deck. Every piece below is already running and collecting real input from women in the trades and from the employers who issue their gear.
Founding Crew signup
LiveA community of women in the trades who agreed to follow-up questions and optional prototype testing if that stage opens.
Employer pilot interest
LiveContractors, safety teams and apprenticeship programs share how they source and issue gear today — and where it breaks down.
Private Fit Profile
DemoA worker-owned fit record, entered by her and visible only to us for matching gear. Employers and HR see status only, never measurements.
The problem
Ill-fitting gear is a hazard, not an inconvenience
Most PPE on a jobsite is built around one body template. When gear is too wide, too long, or won't cinch down, it stops doing its job: a vest snags, glasses slide, glove fingertips catch a fastener, a hard hat shifts when you bend. Workers then do what they have to do to get through the shift — roll it, tape it, tie it off, or skip it.
Gear that doesn't fit gets modified
Rolled sleeves, knotted straps and cut-down vests are the workaround, and every modification moves gear further from how it was tested.
“Unisex” usually means men's small
Relabeling a men's small does not change the shoulder width, chest shape, torso length or finger length inside it.
Nobody is collecting the data
Women in the trades already know exactly what fails on them. That knowledge has never been gathered in one place. That's step one for us.
Our first five categories
Where we start: the gear every crew is issued
Fit For Her Work Gear is starting with five PPE categories, sized and shaped for women in the field. Women's workwear and maternity workwear may follow later; today the focus is head-to-hand protection.
Hard hats & safety helmets
Suspensions that tighten down small, stay put when you bend, and leave room for a ponytail or braid.
Safety glasses & eye protection
Frames scaled to narrower faces so they seal at the temples instead of sliding down your nose.
High-visibility vests
Length, width and reflective tape placement that work with a tool belt and a smaller frame.
Hearing protection
Both earplugs and over-ear earmuffs, chosen to seal on your head and work with your hard hat.
Work & safety gloves
True finger length and palm width so you keep grip and can still feel a fastener.

How it works
Employer sponsors. She stays in control.
One flow, five steps, and a hard line through the middle of it: the worker owns her fit information, the employer sees status only.
- 01
Employer sponsors a kit
An employer or safety team purchases or sponsors a Fit For Her Work Gear PPE kit and invites the employee.
- 02
She gets a private invitation
The employee receives her own private link and signs in to her own worker account.
- 03
She enters her own fit information
Measurements and fit needs are entered by the worker, in her own account, under her control.
- 04
We personalize the kit
Fit For Her Work Gear uses her Fit Profile only to match and fulfill her gear. It is not shared with her employer or HR.
- 05
Employer is notified, kit ships
The employer sees status and tracking, and the finished kit ships to the employer's designated address.
What your employer can see
Your measurements are private. Your employer, HR team, manager and coworkers cannot see them. Fit For Her Work Gear uses your Fit Profile only to match and fulfill gear for you.
Your employer can see
- Invitation status
- Whether your Fit Profile is complete
- Kit / order status
- Shipping and tracking information
Your employer cannot see
- Body measurements
- Sizing details
- Fit notes
- Personal preferences or private responses
For employers
You already know the gear doesn't fit half your new hires
If you're hiring women into field roles, PPE fit shows up as a sourcing headache, a returns problem and an onboarding problem. We're researching how contractors, apprenticeship programs and safety teams handle it today — what you can actually buy, what you substitute, and what it costs you.
Share your sourcing experience- 01
What can you actually source?
Sizes and styles your suppliers stock for women in field roles — and the gaps.
- 02
What happens on day one?
How gear gets sized and issued to a new hire or apprentice right now.
- 03
What does it cost you?
Returns, replacements, substitutions and the time your team spends chasing them.
Put your experience on the record
Two ways in: take the survey and tell us what fails on you, or join the Founding Research Crew so we can follow up — including optional prototype testing if that stage opens. Nothing is for sale and no order is placed.
