Johannesburg, South Africa – Sisi Safety Wear is revolutionizing workplace safety for women with a new line of ladies safety boots and personal protective equipment (PPE). Led by Dr. Thompson, a podiatrist, and Desiree Hlubi, Sisi brand manager at BBF Safety Group, Sisi Safety Wear is addressing a critical gap in traditional PPE.
A Focus on Female Needs
Traditional PPE often overlooks the unique anatomical differences between men and women, leading to discomfort, reduced productivity, and even increased risk of accidents. Dr. Thompson and her team conducted extensive research involving over 500 women to develop PPE specifically tailored to their needs.

“Traditional PPE often overlooks the unique anatomical differences between men and women, leading to discomfort, reduced productivity, and even increased risk of accidents,” Dr. Thompson explained.
By analyzing foot shapes, gait patterns, and body proportions, Sisi Safety Wear has created footwear and other PPE that provides optimal fit, comfort, and protection. Beyond ladies safety boots, the company is developing women’s-specific clothing, harnesses, and other safety gear.
The Importance of Female PPE
“It’s shocking that in 2024, we’re still discussing the importance of female PPE,” Desiree Hlubi explains. “Our goal is to make Sisi Safety Wear synonymous with women’s PPE. By investing in products designed for women, we can significantly improve safety standards and create a more inclusive work environment.”
A Commitment to Safety and Equality
Sisi Safety Wear is committed to supporting the development and widespread adoption of its new production line. The company believes this initiative is a crucial step towards promoting gender equality and ensuring the safety of all workers.
