Revolutionising cut-resistant clothing for glass workers
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.
Kozane® for outstanding cut resistance
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:
- upper arm and shoulder protection
- gloves
- gauntlets and cuffs
- chaps
- trousers
- sweatshirts or jackets
- aprons
- overalls
What’s more, our fabrics are breathable, light and comfortable to wear – vital for repetitive, manual tasks and working in warm environments.
