työhaalarit

Työhaalarit, often translated as work overalls or coveralls, are a type of protective garment designed to be worn over regular clothing. They are typically a one-piece suit that covers the torso and legs, often with sleeves. The primary purpose of työhaalarit is to protect the wearer's clothing from dirt, grease, paint, and other substances encountered during work. They can also provide a degree of protection against minor abrasions or impacts depending on the material.

The design of työhaalarit can vary greatly depending on the industry and specific job requirements. Some may feature numerous pockets for tools and supplies, while others prioritize ease of movement or breathability. Materials commonly used include cotton, polyester, or blends, chosen for their durability and comfort. In certain hazardous environments, specialized työhaalarit made from fire-resistant or chemical-resistant materials might be necessary.

Työhaalarit are commonly seen in trades such as construction, mechanics, painting, and agriculture. They are also utilized in some laboratory settings or food processing industries. The simplicity of their design, covering the entire body, makes them an efficient and practical choice for many manual labor tasks. They are often donned and doffed quickly, contributing to their widespread use in diverse working environments. The term itself is Finnish, reflecting the prevalence of this garment in Scandinavian working culture.
