Safety eyewear that really fits
If your protective eyewear doesn't fit properly this is not only frustrating, it can lead to discomfort, eye strain and may actually increase your risk of injury. Our range of safety eyewear includes spectacle and goggle designs that adapt to your face as well as a range of lens shades and coatings for a variety of workplace environments and light conditions.
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.
Comfortable hearing protection that works
Effective hearing protection when working in noisy environments is imperative. Ear canals vary in size and shape making it essential to find products that fit your ear. uvex provide a number of hearing protection options including disposable and reusable, corded and uncorded, appropriate for all sizes of ear canals. Take a look at the full range to discover the most suitable choice for both your environment and your ear size.
Safety footwear for maximum comfort
uvex believes in the individual and recognises that each person has different needs and desires when it comes to their safety footwear. With a wide range of sizes from 3 to 16 and multiple-fitting system, our best selling uvex 1 and uvex 2 ranges fulfil both personal and organisational requirements for customisation and performance, as well as foot size.
Reliable breathing protection
Where respiratory protective equipment is used, it must be able to provide adequate protection for the wearer. As people come in all sorts of shapes and sizes it is unlikely that one particular type or size of RPE facepiece will fit everyone. RPE can't protect the wearer if it leaks and one of the main reasons for this is poor fit – facemasks need to fit the wearer's face to be effective. Fit testing will ensure that the equipment selected is suitable for the wearer.
Adjustable prescription safety spectacles
uvex is able to provide a choice of metal, plastic and wraparound frame styles in single vision, bifocal or varifocal for safety or office use. Many of our frames have adjustable features, allowing you to get the perfect fit.
Adjustable head and face protection
Poorly fitted safety helmets are not only uncomfortable, but they also won’t offer the right level of protection. The suspension harness should act like a shock absorber and allow a level of airflow. Adjustability ensures a secure, stable fit without discomfort, irritation or abrasion which can indicate incorrect sizing.
