As experts within manufacturing technology, Globus leads the way in providing innovative safety solutions for the automotive sector. Our extensive range has got your workplace covered for every aspect of the job.

Automotive factories can be noisy environments due to machinery and equipment, which can result in hearing loss if adequate hearing protection is not worn. Working with electrical systems and equipment in automotive manufacturing and repair carries the risk of electric shock and arc flash incidents if safety procedures are not followed.

Welding, cutting, and other hot work activities in automotive manufacturing can pose risks of burns and fires if proper precautions are not taken to control heat sources and prevent ignition of flammable materials.

Operating heavy machinery and equipment such as presses, welding machines, and assembly line robots can lead to crush injuries, amputations, and other serious accidents if safety protocols are not followed. Automotive manufacturing involves the use of various chemicals such as paints, solvents, and cleaning agents, which can pose health risks through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion if proper precautions are not taken. Machinery-related incidents are the leading cause of injuries in the automotive industry so having fitting PPE is crucial for the safety and health of your workers.

Hand protection
Hand protection is crucial in the automotive industry because workers are frequently exposed to sharp objects, heavy machinery, and hazardous chemicals. Tasks such as handling metal parts, tools, and equipment pose a risk of cuts, abrasions, and crush injuries. Additionally, workers often come into contact with oils, solvents, and other chemicals that can cause skin irritation or long-term health issues without proper protection.

The use of gloves specifically designed for automotive work helps prevent these injuries and protects against harmful substances, ensuring that workers can safely handle materials and perform tasks efficiently which is where we come in. Our extensive range of gloves can protect your workers from all sorts of dangers in the automotive world.
Eye protection
Eye protection is vital in the automotive industry because workers are often exposed to flying debris, sparks, chemicals, and hazardous particles during tasks like grinding, welding, cutting, and working with fluids. These materials can easily cause eye injuries, including scratches, burns, or permanent vision damage. Our innovative Riley eyewear ensures that workers can perform their duties safely by shielding their eyes from harmful substances and physical hazards, reducing the likelihood of injury and promoting a safer working environment.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection is crucial in the automotive industry because workers are often exposed to harmful fumes, dust, and chemicals from tasks like painting, welding, grinding, and working with solvents. Inhalation of these substances can lead to respiratory issues, lung damage, or long-term health conditions like occupational asthma. We specialise in respiratory protection which is essential for preventing both immediate and long-term health risks, ensuring a safer and healthier work environment.
Hearing protection
Hearing protection is important in the automotive industry because workers are frequently exposed to high levels of noise from machinery, tools, and equipment such as pneumatic drills, grinders, and engines. Prolonged exposure to these loud environments can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, or other permanent auditory issues. Proper hearing protection such as our earplugs and ear defenders are essential for maintaining workers' health, ensuring they can work safely in noisy conditions without risking their auditory well-being.
Protective clothing
Protective clothing is important in the automotive industry because workers are exposed to hazards such as chemicals and moving machinery. In tasks involving welding, painting, or handling dangerous substances, appropriate clothing like coveralls and aprons safeguard against burns, chemical spills and abrasions by protecting the skin from harmful exposure, minimising the risk of injury. We're here to help you find the right protective clothing to ensure worker safety, reducing accidents and enhancing productivity in a hazardous environment.
