We know the health and safety of staff working in the glass sector is paramount. That’s why we work with leading PPE manufacturers to ensure the very best protection against cuts and lacerations caused by moving, lifting, and handling glass. Kozane® fabrics can be used effectively to create cut-resistant clothing for glass workers, offering advanced protection and comfort.
In the glass industry, manual handling is often unavoidable. Selecting and lifting stock, laying on a bench for cutting, and placing in racks ready for dispatch are common tasks that pose a high risk to workers.
Over a third of all injuries in the UK glass industry are caused by moving, lifting, and carrying (RIDDOR, 2019), while in the US, nearly 20% of all injuries in glass and glass product manufacturing involve a cut, laceration, or puncture (US Bureau of Labour Statistics, 2018). With the right personal protective equipment (PPE), accidental injuries like this can be avoided, keeping workers safe and saving your company both time and money.
The UK’s Glass & Glazing Federation recommends the following PPE for glass industry workers, all of which can be produced using Kozane® cut-resistant fabrics:
What’s more, our fabrics are breathable, light, and comfortable to wear – vital for repetitive, manual tasks and working in warm environments.
Kozane High Performance Fabrics and Granberg AS get 5 Stars!!! The Slash Resistant Apparel is the best. Never have I seen such quality!! I ordered the sweaters and the arm sleeves. Looks great. Fits great. Would recommend them to anyone. Customer Relations is also awesome. Eve Ichim was nothing less than outstanding in every way!!! Informative, courteous and professional. I train professional athletes and law enforcement personnel and these products are a must-have.
Granberg deliver their products fast and provide great service. At Safe Workwear we want to work with suppliers who choose their business partners carefully. That is a factor of success which you will not find everywhere. We heartily recommend Granberg!
