Safety solutions for the
construction industry

Accidents, illness, and exposure to hazards are extremely common within the construction sector. Globus offers a range of sustainable and reliable safety solutions, designed to meet all requirements, even in the most demanding environments.

Construction sites are home to several high-risk hazards including heights, electricity, sharp objects, and harmful dust exposure, as well as excessive noise due to heavy machinery, equipment, and power tools. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can result in hearing loss and other auditory problems.

Wearing the appropriate PPE for each task is essential in reducing workplace accidents and long-term work-related illnesses. In order to be protective, the PPE needs to be well-fitting, and comfortable whatever the size, shape, or gender of the wearer.

If PPE is ill-fitting or too large, employees are less likely to wear it, impacting their safety. Our range of construction-focused PPE ensures optimum protection for all wearers, with solutions in smaller sizes and adjustable options. Safety remains at our core, but through innovation and technology, we are finding new ways to reduce the environmental impact and enhance sustainability without sacrificing quality. Our construction range includes eco-friendly alternatives made from recycled plastic bottles.

Eye protection
Eye protection is essential in the Australian construction industry due to the high risk of eye injuries from various hazards on worksites. Construction activities often involve flying debris from cutting, grinding, and drilling, as well as exposure to dust, metal shards, and wood splinters, all of which can cause severe eye injuries. Workers are also exposed to chemical splashes from adhesives, paints, and cleaning agents, as well as ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight and welding operations, which can damage the eyes.

Our extensive range of eye safety solutions includes various styles, prescription eyewear, eco-friendly choices, and smaller fitting options.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection in the construction industry is crucial for preventing inhalation of hazardous particles like silica dust, asbestos, and chemical vapours from activities such as cutting concrete, demolition, and painting. We offer both reusable and disposable RPE to protect construction workers.
Hearing protection
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can lead to permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, and other auditory issues. Hearing protection, such as earplugs or ear defenders, helps reduce noise exposure and to protect worker's hearing. Globus offers high-performance, comfortable ear protection, including fully adjustable ear defenders to provide the best fit for any head size.
Hand protection
Hand protection is vital in the Australian construction industry due to the frequent exposure to hazards that can cause serious hand injuries. Workers often handle sharp tools, heavy materials, and machinery, increasing the risk of cuts, punctures, crush injuries, and amputations. Additionally, contact with hazardous chemicals, adhesives, and solvents can lead to skin irritation or chemical burns.

Globus offers a wide selection of gloves suitable for any application in construction, ensuring a comfortable fit and optimal protection for all workers. We have a wide range of gloves including various eco-friendly options, offering sustainability without compromising on protection.
