uvex hand protection solutions for wet, cold and hot weather conditions
Alongside the right protective function, wearer comfort is extremely important for safety gloves. Our hands have 375 sweat glands per square centimetre on the palms and the insides of the fingers, and around another 200 on the back of the hand; nowhere else on the human body has more glands. These are particularly active in the summer which is why it is important to chose a safety glove that allows hands to breathe, while providing appropriate protection levels.
Decreased mobility in your fingers and the fact that every mistake is more painful in the cold means that choosing the right safety gloves that can give you both protection and warmth, and still provide enough dexterity to complete the job is crucial. uvex unilite thermo safety gloves feature a durable polymer coating that remains highly flexible even at low temperatures, making them the ideal choice for working in the cold.

The uvex unilite 7710F is a seam-free, comfortable, multipurpose glove that’s ideal for dirty and wet environments. The extremely durable, nitrile rubber (NBR) coating extends up to the wrist protecting hands against moisture and dirt, ideal for wet weather conditions.
uvex unilite thermo plus safety glove
Despite an extremely robust coating, the uvex unilite thermo plus stays warm and flexible even in extreme cold. The two-layer material composition of acrylic and new wool ensures a pleasant hand climate and good wearer comfort, perfect for working in cold weather.

Durable safety footwear from uvex
Working in waste collection requires teams to be on their feet all day, and this can leave workers with throbbing feet, tired legs and possibly lower back pain at the end of the shift. Walking on hard floors, doing repetitive lifting, twisting and turning movements can all have an impact on your musculoskeletal system. Correctly fitted safety footwear that has high levels of cushioning, shock absorption and a tread pattern that supports the body’s natural movement can help relieve strain on the joints and muscles. In addition to this, sweat and inclement weather during the winter months means wearer’s requirements change with the seasons, yet they still require uncompromising levels of safety and comfort. The below styles are a snapshot of the footwear from uvex that addresses these various requirements.
