REDBACKS KNEEPADS REDBACKS CUSHIONING
This award-winning, non-foam based, pocketed safety kneepad which maintains its maximum cushioning effect throughout consecutive or prolonged use, is said to help prevent up to six months’ downtime and subsequent loss of earnings through knee injury in the workplace.
The claim comes from Cliff Lockyer, CEO of Redbacks Cushioning Limited, the Daventry, Northamptonshire-based manufacturers of the UK designed, cushioning kneepads. Redbacks are winners of SATRA’s Best Innovation in Occupational PPE Award.
“Based on the fact that there are currently over 104,000 annually registered knee replacement operations in the UK alone, 50% of which are accredited to occupational hazards, in the next 10 years the total figure will exceed over a million people in the UK, many of whom will have damaged knees through inadequate protection whilst kneeling”, said Lockyer.
“In addition to the unnecessary pain and suffering, both the employed and the self-employed risk losing their income through injury, and the prospect of litigation will be a real threat to employers for not providing the best possible safety measures for their employees”
The kneepads feature a soft and flexible TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer) leaf-spring set within a unique honeycomb matrix. This unique ‘Redbacks Cushioning Technology’ distributes body weight evenly, elevating the knees to relieve back pain and reduce pressure on knee, leg, ankle and foot joints, whilst minimising the risk of possible injury from sharp or penetrating objects.
