What Works: National Safety Apparel | wkyc.com

CLEVELAND - Started over 76 years ago, there's a local garment company that's not using your usual fabrics for its products. National Safety Apparel specializes in making clothing that will protect industrial workers from dangers in the workplace.

When the company first started, they would hand-sew steel so that steel workers would be safe on the job. Although some of their clients may have changed as they've expanded into doing work for power plants, refineries, and utility companies much of the work is still done by hand as it was in the beginning.
While some of the work is done by machine, Sal Geraci, Vice President of Operations, stresses the importance of his employees working by hand. "As important as the technologies we've invested in are, the human element is as important as anything," he says.
In just 5 years, the amount of work the company does has more than doubled. Growth has forced the company to search for a place to expand, hoping to find a facility twice as large as their W. 150th Street facility.
National Safety Apparel currently employs 130 people but looks to hire more Clevelanders during the expansion process.
Working to keep people safe while helping Cleveland Grow is "What Works" for National Safety Apparel.

FR Hi-Vis Options:

FR Mesh Vest:

If you are in need of ANSI 107 protection, whether it be Class 2 or Class 3 configuration, NSA has them both available.

The mesh vest is the perfect choice for Hi-Visibility Flame Resistant protection due to its light weight and fantastic breathability mesh construction. The vest is offered in a zipper or FR hook & loop closure and goes great over a Level 2 knit shirt.

Dual Action T-shirt:

The other option is becoming the new popular choice. It’s the Level 2 Dual Action T-shirt that is offered in both ANSI 107 Class 2 & Class 3 configuration. This single t-shirt option eliminates the vest and allows the wearer to wear one garment as they work.
