uvex occupational safety equipment for administrative, catering and safety applications

In addition to ensuring that production processes are carried out correctly, your plant must be safe, your employees need to be provided with meals and operations need to be managed effectively. This can mean that your employees work in a wide range of areas – and encounter a variety of hazards on a daily basis.

The aim of uvex’s protective equipment is to also take into account your catering requirements in areas with slippery floors or the eye strain experienced by employees who work with screens, for example. With this in mind, VDU spectacles are required in addition to water-repellent safety shoes that prevent slips, as well as designs that are suitable to be worn to business meetings.

A hazardous office?!

Compared to production areas, offices often seem to be risk-free for employees. However, long working hours in front of screens and stressful noise levels in open-plan offices should not be overlooked as sources of strain on your employees’ health. The wide product range from uvex features stylish VDU spectacles that prevent the head from moving into unnatural positions and that can also be equipped with an anti-reflective coating or blue light filters. Otoplastics with a low level of insulation offer comfortable hearing protection and enable focussed work while providing voice clarity in the sometimes hectic everyday office life.

Protection for industrial and catering applications

While protection for employees involved in series production in the automotive industry is in part focussed on falling tools and rolling vehicles, employees in large kitchens, who play an essential role in people’s everyday well-being, are exposed to hot liquids and falling pans instead. Protection is therefore imperative for these workers and at the same time, the strictest hygiene requirements have to be taken into account. Washable, sporty shoes with easy-to-clean surfaces ensure high wearer comfort and also provide optimised slip resistance.

Stylish protection in the office and production areas

Part of a range of shoes focused on stylish design, a lightweight construction and exceptional protection, the “uvex 1 business” models are a smart combination for any business meeting or for inspections of production halls and building sites. Regardless of whether you opt for shoes, desert boots or Chelsea boots, these shoes go perfectly with business attire and enable employees to be flexibly deployed between the meeting room and assembly hall.

Lens materials

Polycarbonate (PC)

  • organic material with very high tensile strength
  • only limited chemical resistance
  • mechanical strength, class “F” (45 m/sec)
  • PC+ – polycarbonate lens that is thicker in the middle, especially for uvex RX goggles

Trivex™

  • organic material with high tensile strength
  • lightweight, also suitable for high prescriptions
  • excellent optical image reproduction properties, even for high prescriptions
  • excellent resistance to cleaning agents, oils and cosmetics
  • good scratch resistance
  • best all-round lens material
  • mechanical strength, class “F” (45 m/sec)

CR39

  • Also known as: plastic
  • Not suitable for safety spectacles unless modified, as the tensile strength is otherwise too low. The middle of the lens must be thicker in order to meet the requirements for tensile strength.
  • organic, lightweight material
  • excellent optical image reproduction properties, even for high prescriptions
  • suitable for working with chemicals and paints/varnishes
  • good scratch resistance due to hard coating (optional)
  • mechanical strength, class “S” (ball drop test)
Anti-reflective coating

We recommend anti-reflective lenses for work at a monitor. The anti-reflective coating is a metal oxide layer that is applied by means of vapour deposition and ensures a significant reduction in reflections on both sides of the lens. This leads to higher light transmission and improves the visual quality of images. Visual discomfort as a result of reflections is reduced.

Normal anti-reflective coating:

  • Good reflection reduction
  • Metal oxide is applied once to each surface
  • Residual reflection ≈ 4%

Super anti-reflective coating:

  • Maximum reflection reduction
  • Metal oxide is applied several times to each surface
  • Residual reflection < 2%

Normal anti-reflective coating:

  • Good reduction of reflections
  • Metal oxide is applied once to each surface
  • Residual reflection ≈ 4%

Super anti-reflective coating:

  • Maximum reduction of reflections
  • Metal oxide is applied several times to each surface
  • Residual reflection < 2%
uvex UV blue

The uvex UV blue multi-layered surface finish of the uvex blue light filter spectacles includes a layer that provides enhanced filtration of short-wave visible light in the blue-violet range.

This provides effective protection against the symptoms of fatigue and headaches associated predominantly with long periods of working at a monitor and/or with digital media. The uvex UV blue layer system also includes a super anti-reflective coating and a scratch-resistant coating.
