What Work Secure does
Work Secure S.r.l. is an Italian occupational safety (antinfortunistica) distributor and retailer headquartered in Gualdo Cattaneo, Perugia, with a second retail point in Ponte San Giovanni (Perugia). The company sells personal protective equipment, safety footwear, workwear, and fall-protection gear from over 300 manufacturers, stocking more than 10,000 articles ready for delivery. It serves a broad set of vertical segments including construction, agriculture and forestry, electronics and industrial manufacturing, food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical, electrical and utility, working-at-height, transport and logistics, emergency services, healthcare, and horeca.
The business operates a hybrid distribution model combining a proprietary Italian-language e-commerce storefront (worksecure.it) with two physical showrooms, supported by same-day shipping for orders placed before noon, free shipping in Italy above €49.90, and 2-5 working-day delivery throughout Italy and across Europe. Beyond product resale, Work Secure operates regulated, recurring services including authorized Gas Alert calibration and repair, certified harness and fall-protection inspection under Italian Safety Law D.Lgs. 81/2008, EN 795-compliant lifeline and guardrail installation, NFC-chip PPE inspection tracking, workwear customization (screen printing, sublimation, embossing, DTF digital printing), and equipment rental. Technical staff provide pre- and post-sale consultation, including safety video consultations.
The revenue model is anchored in transactional product sales (unit pricing from approximately €10 to €5,756 per item depending on category and complexity) supplemented by professional services and equipment rental. Customer mix is distributed across SMBs, individual professionals, and some enterprise buyers, with 593 Google reviews averaging 4.8/5 reflecting broad-based satisfaction. Founded in 2007 and operating for approximately 20 years, Work Secure is a privately held S.r.l. with €50,000 paid-in share capital and a reported headcount of 1-10 employees, indicating a regional, founder/family-managed specialty distributor rather than a scaled enterprise.
