CTE - Protective Work-wear

CTE (formerly Can’t Tear ‘Em) has been outfitting the Australian workforce for over 100 years. Many of the industries we supply for are tough, demanding and dangerous. For example we produce clothing for the mining industry which involves very physical and dangerous activities. Therefore we understand that the clothing we provide must be durable and specifically tailored to each industry we cater for.

We have been a trusted brand of major industries and government bodies for many years due to our commitment to quality clothing and one on one customer service. Our strong brand and new technological advances through research and development means CTE’s future looks positive. The company is dedicated to achieving its vision of being the recognized leading supplier of premium mining protective work clothing in Australia.

Not only do we ensure durability through our suitable selection of fabrics, we also take fashion into account. The industries we provide include jobs that involve physical activity and labour, therefore all our clothing are easily washed and cared for.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (PPC)

Established as a member of Australasia's largest work apparel group, PPC's sole focus is on research, design, development, manufacture and delivery of technically advanced protective wear and uniform solutions.

The most hazardous work environments are serviced by PPC products, including military, structural fire, wildlands fire, police, emergency rescue, mining, metals smelting, petroleum and heavy industry.

Often requiring innovative solutions to meet your specific OH&S risks, PPC's pre existing knowledge base can be supplemented by new apparel design and textile research, to assure compliance with all relevant local and international performance standards

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

PPC has an ever growing library of easy to read information downloads free for you to browse and a customised solutions tool to help you identify textiles that best suit your needs.

Whilst worker health and safety is paramount, economic realities demand the most appropriate value for money protective clothing solutions. That's why innovation, research and a thorough understanding of your hazards and risks are the main drivers by which PPC advances your last line of defence. Most of our premium PPC solutions are the product of intensive client collaboration and trialling - after all, no two workplaces have identical risk assessments.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY

Employers' legal duty of care to their employees means they must provide the best quality clothing to ensure safety and comfort. Companies realise the dangers of working in the mining industry and seek to minimise accidents. However industrial accidents do happen and when they do personal protective clothing acts as a defence against serious injury or death.

RESEARCH AND QUALITY

We research, design and manufacture personal protective clothing to cover a variety of hazards that workers are exposed to in their specific work environments. And if we don't already have a solution, our technical staff will research and develop a new solution to meet your specific risk profile.

Our capability and experience in premium technical uniform and protective clothing have been applied to meet a broad range of customers needs. New product development projects are always in work to assure a superior level of technical innovation and clothing range expansion.

Workers face a vast range of work environmental hazards such as climatic heat or cold, radiant heat, fire, falling objects, confined space, explosion, liquid and particulate contaminants to name a few.

CTE is certified to AS/ISO 9001– 2000 covering all aspects of industry standards and all CTE garments are fully guaranteed against faulty manufacture and or fabric faults.
