Scaffshirt: A Painful Birth

Shoulder pain especially in advanced working years is a bane in most construction worker’s lives. We developed the Scaffshirt to save the next generation of tradesmen painful afflictions, one of which Brian suffered: bicep tendonitis (where the tendon infringes into the shoulder joint) was brought on by injuries resulting from carrying large wooden triple ladders and several sporting excursions, when young and invincible.  This has resulted in constant discomfort and reduced ability which he endures today.

​

We designed the pad around aerospace seat technology, giving maximum comfort with minimum constraints. We are currently working with a  Professor of Biomechanics investigating the medical benefits using Scaffshirt. Looking smart, corporate and professional in the workplace led us to introduce a water resistant, hard wearing pocket for the pad to locate atop the shoulder resulting in being awarded a European Design Right for the Scaffshirt range of products. 

​

The British designed workwear offers a very discreet approach to load carrying, offering substantial reductions in fatigue and discomfort. The durability far exceeds the High Visibility clothing available currently and meets all EN, RIS and ANSI required standards for safe site work.

​

The range of products available from GAAARD Protection leave the past behind, offering a smart durable work garment for the present with hidden health benefits for the future.
