This could be a sturdy jumpsuit or various protective gear depending on just what they are doing. Either way, make sure that they know just what they can wear and what will put them in danger.
The natural extension is to think about safety glasses. Anything invovling chemicals or sparks needs to have safety glasses availabe for all the works. Don’t go cheap on the glasses either.

Finally, think about getting some individual sunscreen packets for your employees who are going to be working outside. Skin cancer is a serious issue. Make sure that they are properly protected from the dangers of over exposure to sunlight by giving them all individual sunscreen packets to use throughout the day.
