Key Benefits
Designed to protect people and simplify PPE management
Enhance workplace safety
Reduce injuries by ensuring workers have the right PPE for their specific risks. The uvex SHIELD program evaluates working environments, tasks, and user requirements to identify the most suitable PPE solutions.
Boost compliance & wellbeing
The best PPE is the one that is worn. By involving employees in trials and product selection and providing educational trainings, the uvex SHIELD program helps improve acceptance, comfort, and long-term compliance.
Minimize downtime
Workplace injuries can result in lost working time, operational disruptions, and productivity losses. By helping reduce injuries and improve PPE compliance, the uvex SHIELD program supports business continuity and workforce productivity.
Maximize product lifespan
The cheapest PPE is not always the most cost-effective. The uvex SHIELD program evaluates product performance, durability, replacement rates, and total cost of ownership to help organizations maximize product lifespan and reduce PPE-related costs over time.
Consider environmental aspects
Make conscious PPE decisions without compromising safety. The uvex SHIELD program helps identify products with a longer service life through extended product lifetimes, less waste through reduced replacement cycles, and reduced use of new resources through the use of recycled materials.
Rationalize SKUs
Too many PPE variants create complexity and increase costs. The uvex SHIELD program helps standardize product selection, reduce unnecessary SKU complexity, and simplify PPE procurement and inventory management.
