uvex WEARABILITY - The key to compliance

At uvex we know the best PPE is the one that gets worn - which is why we design WEARABILITY into every product we make. But what do we mean by that? WEARABILITY = Compliance. It’s PPE that doesn’t get in the way allowing you to focus on the task at hand. Ultimately, it’s the perfect balance of four main factors:

Fit

Fit

Proper fit
One size does not fit all. It may seem obvious, but properly-fitting PPE that has been selected for the individual, their workplace and takes into account compatibility with other PPE items can help avoid accidents, reduce discomfort, increase productivity and give wearers confidence.

Comfort

Comfort

All day comfort
With proper fit comes comfort. uvex PPE not only protects against a variety of workplace hazards, but is designed to work with the body, which means free of pressure points, lightweight, and breathable. It’s only when PPE fits well and is comfortable that it remains worn throughout the day.

Performance

Performance

Product performance
We understand that the design, quality of materials, and production technologies all have a bearing on the wearer experience. Our in-house expertise ensures we have complete ownership of the entire value-chain from raw material to finished product ensuring the highest-quality PPE.

Style

Style

Modern style
We all want to look and feel good, and this is no different when we're at work. By choosing products that are high performing, comfortable and stylish wearing PPE is effortless. As a result, PPE is more likely to be worn, remain where it should throughout the day and employees stay compliant.

What our customers say

Read our case studies from customers to see how we have helped businesses overcome their safety eyewear challenges.

Trelleborg made safety eyewear mandatory after recognising the potential risk to staff and wanted eye protection that was comfortable, durable, looked good and offered value for money. After trialling a number of brands, uvex eyewear fitted the bill on all counts.

Lanes had been experiencing a high level of PPE wastage because the spectacles continually misted up and easily became scratched, as they did not have anti-mist or anti-scratch coatings. Now, uvex safety spectacles last 16x longer than the safety specs previously used.

Wates case study

The Wates Group hoped that eye injuries would be a thing of the past after introducing a mandatory eye protection policy. In the five years that followed, 73 workers suffered eye injuries despite the policy, making it clear that just supplying the equipment was not enough.
