When it comes to PPE, size matters

We understand that when it comes to personal protective equipment (PPE) one size does not fit all. It may seem obvious, but correctly sized PPE can help avoid accidents, reduce discomfort and increase productivity. If employees find their PPE uncomfortable to wear chances are they won't wear it.

uvex is committed to the design and production of PPE solutions that can be tailored to individual requirements delivering absolute consistency of protection and performance levels. To ensure your employees have the best fit from their PPE, uvex have developed a wide range of PPE solutions that can be tailored to individual requirements.

Where respiratory protective equipment is used, it must be able to provide adequate protection for the wearer. As people come in all sorts of shapes and sizes it is unlikely that one particular type or size of RPE facepiece will fit everyone. RPE can't protect the wearer if it leaks and one of the main reasons for this is poor fit – facemasks need to fit the wearer's face to be effective. Fit testing will ensure that the equipment selected is suitable for the wearer.
