One size does not fit all
Head and facial shapes all differ requiring a range of eyewear from which employees can select. Involvement in this process not only ensures a proper fit, crucial for the wearer’s safety, it also increases the likelihood that eyewear stays worn throughout the working day. Safety eyewear isn’t one size fits all.
uvex safety eyewear fit programme
uvex has devised a highly successful fit programme that ensures everyone can find a safety spectacle or goggle that best suits them. Our highly knowledgeable team of experts work alongside you and your employees to ensure they find something that really fits them. Our approach takes into account the employee’s features, work environment and personal requirements e.g. compatibility with other PPE. By involving the wearer in the selection process, this not only ensures a proper fit - crucial for their safety – but it also increases the likelihood of that eyewear remains worn throughout the day.
Properly fitting footwear
The best safety footwear should be supple, allowing freedom of movement without discomfort when walking or kneeling and comfortable enough to wear all day. Properly-fitting footwear can make a significant difference to comfort, concentration levels and the avoidance of accidents. In addition to ergonomic design, features such as adaptive fit insoles that increase or decrease the space within the footwear can create a customised fit for enhanced comfort.
Customised footwear fitting
Just like shopping on the high street, the same size shoe from different safety footwear brands can fit differently so it’s important to get measured for all day comfort and safety. Once you have established your correct size, arch support insoles can tailor the footwear to your individual requirements. The uvex tune-up board changes colour when exposed to the heat from your feet, leaving an impression of your arch type.
Safety gloves that fit like a second skin
While it is important to choose the correct safety gloves for the job and environment, it is equally important to ensure your safety gloves fit properly. A correct fit means the gloves will be comfortable to wear and you are more likely to keep them on. If gloves are too big they can affect grip or get caught in moving parts or tools; too small and they will distract from the task at hand.
