Safety footwear for the pharmaceutical industry

Anti-fatigue footwear from uvex

Musculoskeletal disorders are often the result of repetitive motions which could involve lifting, bending or twisting as well as walking or standing on hard, unforgiving surfaces with inadequately cushioned footwear. These occupational health problems can also be hard to spot and difficult to manage as they take time to develop and the connection between the cause and effect is not always obvious.

Employees experience discomfort in the lower back, neck, shoulders, knees and lower legs, often leading to fatigue. This contributes to performance impairment with employees three times more likely to cause, or have, an accident in the workplace.

When working in the pharmaceutical sector, concentration is key, so ensuring your PPE does not distract from your performance is paramount.

uvex safety footwear supports your body while at work and helpes mitigate fatigue. Providing better quality footwear with cushioning and multilayer shock absorption properties gives consistently better levels of individual musculoskeletal protection.

uvex 1 footwear is designed to support the body

The uvex solution

The uvex 1 range is ergonomically-designed, lightweight and flexible with a multi-layer shock absorption system. This supports and cushions the natural movement of the entire body and helps reduce back and joint pain. The sole features excellent slip resistance and is SRC rated, while a cleverly designed pivot point in the tread eases pressure on joints when turning or twisting.
