Susan Rubin, the President and CEO of Tiga Workwear, and Alison Farrell, Chairwoman, Tiga Workwear Ltd. founded Tiga Workwear in 2015. They both work in the mining industry - Alison for over 12 years, all around the world - and were underwhelmed with the variety of PPE available for women. They spent around a year developing the products and soliciting feedback from women working in industry and with women employed by Teck Resources. The boots are CSA approved and Ms Rubin and Ms Farrell now lobby to change some standards such as the high of the boot to better accommodate women’s body. They are also developing a line of pants, shirts and vests for women. Ms Rubin and Ms Farrell support women groups and organizations such as Dress for Success. Since many of Tiga customers work in remote locations, the boots are sold on-line and delivered by Canada Post. The Griff Sand is the best seller among women in mining industries.

Fonction

To protect workers' feet on industrial sites.

Technique

Although women were always present in mining operations – in fact some medieval prints show women working in mines – only very recently, in the first decades of the 21st c. as women enter more high paying industry jobs, female entrepreneurs started to actively design, develop and manufacture PPEs especially designed to fit women’s bodies. From tigaworkwear.com: “Tiga Workwear composite toe safety boots for women are the smarter alternative to steel toe safety boots. Grade 1 CSA (Canada) safety approved; ASTM 2413-05 (United States) compliant; Strong, metal-free (composite) toe and sole plate for a lightweight feel; Breathable, suede leather; Reinforced, non-rust eyelets; Goodyear welted sole; Electric shock and acid resistant; Non-slip sole with puncture protection; Cushioned inner sole; Easy-on pull tab; 6 inch boot” (From Acquisitions Worksheet, see Ref. 1)
