HUMAN FACTORS & ERGONOMICS
with considerations including whether they are free from pressure points, lightweight, and breathable. It’s only when PPE fits well and is comfortable that it remains worn throughout the day.
Product performance: In addition to fulfilling the required safety standards, the product's design, quality of materials, and production technologies all have a bearing on the wearer experience.
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 and something to take pride in. As a result, PPE is more likely to be worn and remain where it should throughout the day so employees stay compliant.
THE UVEX APPROACH At uvex, we design wearability into every product we
make. Our range features a broad range of sizes to ensure the right fit, while we have complete ownership of the entire value-chain from raw material to finished product to ensure the highest-quality PPE.
Our safety gloves are designed to fit like a second skin. The uvex phynomic range is manufactured using 3D hand ‘formas’ that simulate the contours of the wearer's hand with up to eight precisely coordinated sizes. Our Bamboo TwinFlex D XG gloves, meanwhile, adapt precisely to fit the shape of the hand within five minutes while also offering noticeable comfort for their skin thanks to the bamboo-viscose.
We offer hearing protection based on the human anatomy. The uvex xact-fit mimics the natural oval

shape of the ear canal, reducing pressure inside the ear – even when worn for extended periods – as well as allowing fast, easy and accurate insertion.
Our safety footwear is made with ergonomic design and features such as adaptive fit insoles for a customised wearing experience. uvex i-PUREnrj technology offers increased stability, very high levels of shock absorption as well as energy-return. The recovered landing energy over the entire sole unit is returned to the wearer providing a boost of energy, greater comfort and significantly lower fatigue in the legs and feet.
“IF EMPLOYEES ARE GIVEN POOR-STANDARD PPE, THEY WILL INEVITABLY FEEL LESS IMPORTANT THEMSELVES.”
The uvex safety eyewear range is designed to fit different head and facial shapes, with adaptable features such as lens inclination and extendable side arms. The uvex CBR65 tint is ideal for use at workplaces with screens as it reduces blue light by up to 50% and reduces harsh overhead LED lighting for fatigue-free vision.
We know the best PPE is the one that gets worn. We create comfortable, durable, high-quality PPE that doesn’t get in the way – allowing workers to focus on the task at hand.
