Advanced in the current paper is an innovative methodology for the design of workwear for the food and beverage industry environment, integrating regulatory requirements, ergonomic principles, and end-user preferences. The methods herein proposed address critical sector-wide issues such as the lack of a standardized normative framework, minimal employer incentives to invest in premium specialized workwear, and restricted access to relevant certified materials.
By aligning regulatory compliance with economically viable solutions, the developed methodology provides a comprehensive approach to effectively overcoming these constraints.
