Maintenance and repairs
uvex occupational safety equipment for maintenance and repairs in the electromobility sector
Working on high-voltage vehicles brings great requirements for occupational safety. Risks for employees in the workshop area stem from hazards caused by electrical power. This applies to both voltage (voltage protection) and current (short circuit electric arcs).
uvex offers protective products against short circuit electric arcs, from helmets and gloves to clothing, as well as voltage protection equipment, for example to protect the hands against unintentional contact with live electric parts.
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.
Even though uvex is already a well-known provider of head-to-toe PPE, there is hardly a place where this is more important than in a 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 employees. With our experts, we support you in making the best choices when it comes to essential protective equipment.

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
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.
