Manufacturing
safety solutions

Globus’ adaptable technologies and protective solutions ensure seamless workplace operations. Whether in fabrication, assembly, or processing, we prioritise safety standards for your entire team, maximising your business's efficiency.

The manufacturing sector accounts for approximately 16% of global GDP and 14% of global employment. Comprising Food and Drink, Transport, Machinery, and a host of other industries, the manufacturing sector is on track for continued growth, so protecting these workers is essential.

As well as being an extremely diverse sector, it is also one of the most hazardous. According to the Health and Safety Executive every year, in the manufacturing sector nearly 4% of workers suffer from ill health caused or made worse by work.

It is vital that the right level of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is provided including chemical, cut, and impact protective gloves, protective clothing, head, and eye protection, and where there is an inhalation threat, respiratory protection.

What level of PPE is required will be determined by the hazardous level of the environment, what exposure is likely to take place and how workers will interact with it. Likely, a combination of PPE solutions will be required.

Hand protection
Whether in fabrication, assembly, or processing, hand protection is a crucial component of manufacturing industry PPE. Protecting against cuts, chemicals, impacts, and thermal hazards, the Skytec hand protection portfolio has a solution for any task at hand.
Respiratory protection
Working in close proximity to machinery, assembly lines, and high-risk chemicals means Respiratory Protective Equipment is essential for manufacturing workers. Exposure to excessive dust and fumes can result in long-term respiratory damage if RPE is not worn.
Head protection
Head protection is important in the manufacturing industry due to the risk of falling objects, machinery-related hazards, and potential impacts from low ceilings or moving equipment. We have curated innovative head protection to prevent injuries in your workplace.
Eye protection
Flying dust and debris from machinery and assembly lines poses a high-risk hazard to workers' eyes. Our Riley range of protective eyewear have anti-scratch, anti-fog polycarbonate lenses as standard, to ensure clear vision throughout the working day.
Hearing protection
Hearing protection is crucial in the manufacturing industry due to the constant exposure to high noise levels from machinery, equipment, and production processes. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can lead to permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, and other auditory issues.
Protective clothing
Protective clothing is essential in the manufacturing industry because it shields workers from a variety of workplace hazards, including chemical spills, sharp objects, extreme temperatures, and moving machinery.
