Correctly fitting PPE helps improve comfort, confidence and compliance, reducing the risk of injury while supporting equality and inclusion in the workplace. ![yellow tape measure](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/CHOTFSc03ckhCjaDoxagHkVZ9JgUtx_Th2NvlGjbtAE/w:345/h:171/fn:Y3NtX3BwZS1mb3Itc21hbGxlci1kaW1lbnNpb25zX2MxMDJkODhhMGM:t/cb:622c9cce30e2b552c0a9b83ef5c461293fe62219/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvcHBlLWZvci1zbWFsbGVyLWRpbWVuc2lvbnMuanBnPzE1Njk0OTkwMjk "PPE for smaller dimensions from uvex") If employees find their PPE uncomfortable chances are they won't wear it. uvex has the solution with a range of products designed to fit those with smaller dimensions so everyone gets the protection they deserve. ![Work with confidence - watch the video](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/a9tJkaKIJkseNyaKIxj4vbwd_-SLO4zphlOy0KwyeEM/w:345/h:197/fn:Y3NtXzcwMC13b3JrLXdpdGgtY29uZmlkZW5jZV82YzYxZTQ2YmY3:t/cb:460f3f1920f2ecf326f98b4161c6bd54c8e45e2e/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvNzAwLXdvcmstd2l0aC1jb25maWRlbmNlLmpwZz8xNzEwMTUxMTA2 "Work with confidence - watch the video") ### Promoting gender equality and diversity in the workplace As more women enter what were once male-dominated industry sectors, ensuring the safety of individuals through the availability of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has become more critical. A ‘one size fits all’ approach is not adequate, especially when it comes to safety equipment. As advocates for gender inclusivity in PPE design, we understand that women have distinct characteristics and preferences that need to be considered. Ill-fitting, uncomfortable, or impractical PPE not only poses safety risks but also hinders the performance and confidence of women in their respective fields. We believe that correctly fitting women's PPE is not just a matter of necessity; it's about respect, equality, and the path toward a safer, more inclusive world. Recognising this need, we have selected a range of solutions that take into account individual requirements and anatomical differences, with the aim of protecting and empowering women across various industries. **Sound interesting?** Contact us to set up a trial today [ ![uvex OTG plus](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/NbxWhgtglv16T52PM0rZ33Xk9RkZZH0zArc8hMc8OD0/w:345/h:345/fn:Y3NtXzUwMC1zZC1leWV3ZWFyLThfZjRiYzY5ZDVkMQ:t/cb:8ad0784b6a894a137faf74bb61a3f01336cc3c06/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvNTAwLXNkLWV5ZXdlYXItOC5qcGc_MTc4OTAzODY2Nw "uvex OTG plus") ](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/uvex-otg-plus-overspecs/) [ ![uvex suXXeed](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/hM0_32Y-eyQJIB8nZXQUZiINK5ez0hOwkN1XnRLb65o/w:345/h:345/fn:Y3NtXzUwMC1zZC1leWV3ZWFyLTNfZWQ0MzcwNWI0Ng:t/cb:0bf634101bda7c80a7cc725478e8140544355f0f/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvNTAwLXNkLWV5ZXdlYXItMy5qcGc_MTY3ODI3MzQyOA "uvex suXXeed") ](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/product-group/uvex-sportstyle-safety-eyewear-range/) [ ![uvex suXXeed](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/_PZv7Mv396ufEInJFer0oV0zFalDAAIQw7PEpvJXtqk/w:345/h:345/fn:Y3NtXzUwMC1zZC1leWV3ZWFyLTJfYmM2YWM2M2FkNQ:t/cb:9a66719d6cd4ad66f9355dfb8292b5687212be27/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvNTAwLXNkLWV5ZXdlYXItMi5qcGc_MTY3ODI3MzQyOA "uvex suXXeed") ](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/product-group/uvex-suxxeed/) [ ![uvex i-5](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/1I5TgJ88L_x64svAUVfpZvK7RMj2ffkxlTVm5Ihk9rU/w:345/h:345/fn:Y3NtXzUwMC1zZC1leWV3ZWFyLTRfNmE4NTRmMmRjMw:t/cb:10484058b521bb8bf6ec24052583fbcae233d21c/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvNTAwLXNkLWV5ZXdlYXItNC5qcGc_MTY3ODI3MzQyOA "uvex i-5") ](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/product-group/uvex-i-5-safety-eyewear/) [ ![uvex pheos cx2](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/0ZTaUpofwKenGZHkS8T4clhKNqDF9R5NSzc6YcQLfqE/w:345/h:345/fn:Y3NtXzUwMC1zZC1leWV3ZWFyLTZfZDFkYjIyNjNmNw:t/cb:eff38051db0bca210af2d0538e240058b5374820/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvNTAwLXNkLWV5ZXdlYXItNi5qcGc_MTY3ODI3Mzc3Nw "uvex pheos cx2") ](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/product-group/uvex-pheos-cx2-range/) [ ![uvex i-range](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/GObkOctWM_e2790LNXgN3XZAE2cCYeJhl5bfAXFcdPk/w:345/h:345/fn:Y3NtXzUwMC1zZC1leWV3ZWFyLTdfMmI4OWY2MDQwOA:t/cb:11930c7a157ecf2230633620cf74914c50c8e50c/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvNTAwLXNkLWV5ZXdlYXItNy5qcGc_MTY5MjM1OTI2Nw "uvex i-range") ](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/product-group/uvex-i-range/) ![](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/AVQKwdJ4z-ykiR4BBThXv8zt1NzPiWy8yj5VFHGztPo/w:375/h:210/fn:Y3NtXzU0NS1zYWZldHktZXlld2Vhcl9jNjAxMWY4MzMy:t/cb:5e5b34efb0dd8d73be7d1b9a7e6753b3770e0251/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvNTQ1LXNhZmV0eS1leWV3ZWFyLmpwZz8xNzcxNDEzNTA4) ![Safety glasses and goggles for smaller faces](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/HYxm8IyzCGAfnSEOJ6-EYbp0zUGXeh2zF2aJeqJ9bCI/w:375/h:49/fn:Y3NtX2Z1bGwtc2FmZXR5LWV5ZXdlYXJfZjhmNTMwZWFjOA:t/cb:b811701deed5639207250a0972cd9333027dd00a/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2ZlbWFsZS1wcGUvZnVsbC1zYWZldHktZXlld2Vhci5qcGc_MTc3MTQxMzUwOA "Safety glasses and goggles for smaller faces") ### Safety glasses and goggles for smaller faces If your protective eyewear doesn't fit properly this can lead to discomfort, eye strain and may even increase your risk of injury.

A correct fit means the gloves will be comfortable to wear and workers are more likely to keep them on. If gloves are too big they can slip off, affect grip and dexterity or get caught in moving parts or tools. Oversized gloves may not shield against the intended cuts, chemicals or other workplace hazards. Conversely, gloves that are too tight may restrict movement and circulation, leading to discomfort, increase early onset fatigue due to additional muscle strain needed to complete tasks, or cause an injury.

Choosing the wrong size can severely reduce the protection value, exposing wearers to harmful noise, and makes the earplugs uncomfortable to wear. Foam or soft thermoplastic plugs can mould to the shape of the ear canal to provide a snug fit. Alternatively, earmuffs with adjustable headbands to accommodate various head sizes along with cushioned earcups add comfort.

"High performance filtering face masks") ### High performance filtering face masks Where respiratory protective equipment is used, it must be able to provide adequate protection for the wearer - RPE can't protect if it leaks, and one of the main reasons for this is poor fit Masks need to fit close to the face creating an air-tight seal to be effective. People come in all sorts of shapes and sizes so it is unlikely that one particular type or size of RPE facepiece will fit everyone. Some women may have smaller facial features compared to men and therefore need a respirator that is designed to fit smaller dimensions. [Fit testing](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/product-assistants/face-fit-testing/) will ensure that the equipment selected is suitable for the wearer. This is an important part of the process especially if worn with other items of PPE to ensure compatibility e.g. safety glasses, hearing protection or helmets.

The suspension harness should act like a shock absorber and allow a level of airflow through the helmet. Adjustable suspension systems ensures a secure, stable fit without discomfort, irritation or abrasion, which can indicate incorrect sizing. The individual sizes of our uvex safety helmets offer several centimetres of wiggle room, so you can adjust the helmet exactly to your head circumference using an adjuster.
