About Safety Smart Gear — Industrial Safety Workwear Distributor Since 2004

Safety Smart Gear is an online distributor of high visibility clothing, flame resistant (FR) workwear, PPE, and industrial safety gear serving construction, energy, oil & gas, utilities, manufacturing, military, and public safety organizations across the United States and internationally. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Charlton, Massachusetts, with a second location in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Safety Smart Gear carries over 40 carefully selected brands and offers bulk pricing, custom logo printing, and a full catalog of ANSI/ISEA, NFPA, OSHA, and ASTM-compliant products.

In 2023, Safety Smart Gear completed a merger with Safe-Fast, Inc., combining two established safety gear operations to expand product selection, brand access, and customer service capabilities. The combined organization continues to operate as Safety Smart Gear.
