The basics
We all have different preferences for the devices we use. You will probably be aware that different computers and smartphones use different browsers. If you have a Mac or an iPhone, these are made by Apple and you will need to use the Safari web browser that comes installed on the devices. Windows and Android are more flexible, with a range of different free browsers available to access your Online Workwear Portal. We’ve catered for the most popular browsers to make sure that nobody is left out.
Desktop Shortcut options: Microsoft Windows PC
Browser: Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is the new browser that comes pre-installed on Windows, which replaces Internet Explorer. For security, we recommend replacing Internet Explorer and using Microsoft Edge.
Instructions:
- Go to https://oxfordsafetyonlineordering.uk/account/
- Click the three horizontal dots on the top right of the screen
- From here, click “Apps” and then “Install this site as an app”
- You can now rename the shortcut as you would like it to appear on your Desktop, then press “Install”
- You can also choose to add it to your Windows Start menu and pin it to your Taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
Browser: Google Chrome
Google Chrome is made (unsurprisingly) by Google and is the chosen web browser for many, due to its user-friendliness and easy linking across multiple devices to services such as Gmail, Google Drive and Google Maps.

Mozilla designed this browser to be fast, easy to use, customisable and private for its users. It also offers a cloud sync option, as with Google Chrome.
