 Workshops
uvex occupational safety equipment for workshops
==================================================
From changing oil and carrying out a range of repairs to preparing vehicles, your workshop employees are asked to perform a wide variety of tasks. There is the pressure of keeping to deadlines as well as the demand for the utmost precision to ensure the functionality and quality of the vehicles that you produce.
Bulky protective equipment is often cumbersome in workshops but is essential to provide protection against hazards. To ensure that workers can carry out their work safely in oily and slippery environments as well as in the vicinity of electronic components, uvex develops products with optimum ergonomic characteristics to ensure a clear field of vision, maximum mobility and a secure grip.

Safe and stylish
---------------------
Alongside the safety criteria mentioned, employees in direct contact with customers are also an advertisement for your brand. With smart shoes and work clothing from uvex, not only are your values represented in colour and style, but they also shine through thanks to high wearer comfort and the well-being of your employees.
Protection from head to toe
--------------------------------
Even though you are probably already aware of uvex as a provider of head-to-toe PPE, there is hardly a place where this is more important than in your workshop. Respirators and goggles, earmuffs and head protection, and clothing and gloves that are not compatible with one another are not conducive to ensuring the protection and comfort of your employees. Our experts and advisers are available to help you make the best choice when it comes to essential protective equipment.

Finishes
-------------
### Anti-reflective coating
Anti-reflective coating is a layer applied to the inside and outside of lenses using vapour deposition. It significantly reduces reflections on the surfaces. It offers a cosmetic advantage and increases light transmission.
**Three types of coating are available:**
- Normal anti-reflective coating
- Multi anti-reflective coating
- Super anti-reflective coating
UV blue protect
--------------------
### UV blue protect
A special absorber has been added to the lens material that completely filters out UV rays and reduces the blue light content.
- The lenses absorb UV radiation up to 400 nm at 100%, filter short-wave blue light up to 410 nm almost completely and reduce the spectrum from 410 nm to 420 nm by 86%.
- uvex UV blue protect lenses enhance contrast and effectively prevent signs of fatigue and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
- The mechanical strength of the lenses is guaranteed – clear lenses with UV blue protect are marked 2C-1.2.
- UV blue protect is optionally available for polycarbonate (PC) lenses and HI 1.67.
