Indoor safety eyewear
Artificial lighting often used within warehouses can cause the eyes to fatigue quicker, putting additional strain on the eyes and the surrounding muscles, and increasing your exposure to blue light. Wearing a pair of safety glasses with the correct lens tint can help to reduce strain on the eyes, improve your focus and reduce fatigue.
Contrast enhancing safety eyewear
Does your workplace have harsh, bright lighting from fluorescent or LED lights, reflective surfaces or do you regularly move between changing light conditions? The uvex CBR65 lens tint has been designed to reduce strain on the eyes and improve concentration.

Cushioning safety footwear from uvex
For those that work in an industry that requires you to be on your feet all day, this can leave you with throbbing feet, tired legs and possibly lower back pain or sore knees at the end of your 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 your body’s natural movement could help relieve strain on the joints and muscles.
Anti-fatigue, shock absorbing safety footwear
Musculoskeletal disorders are often the result of repetitive or heavy lifting, bending or twisting as well as walking on hard, unforgiving surfaces with poor cushioning within footwear. The uvex 1 range is designed specifically for indoor environments such as warehousing and storage.
