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.

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. Using appropriate Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), like masks and respirators, helps protect workers' health. Employers must assess hazards, provide the right RPE, and ensure proper training and fit-testing, adhering to regulatory standards. We offer both reusable and disposable RPE to protect construction workers. Reusable RPE, designed for long-term use, features replaceable filters and is suitable for environments with regular exposure to hazardous substances. Disposable RPE is lower in cost, and ideal for short-term use.
Hand protection
Hand protection is essential in the construction industry, safeguarding against a range of hazards, including cuts, punctures, and impacts. 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.
Head protection
Impacts, falling objects, and electrical hazards are common in the construction industry and can lead to serious head injuries. Our helmets are designed to ensure maximum safety and comfort allowing workers to perform their tasks with confidence. The range of head protection is available in a variety of colours for easy identification and offers both vented and unvented options.
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.
Eye protection
Flying debris, dust, chemicals, and intense light are only some of the hazards to construction worker's eyes. Eye protection such as safety glasses, goggles, and face shields, helps prevent eye injuries and ensures clear vision. Our extensive range of eye safety solutions includes various styles, prescription eyewear, eco-friendly choices, and smaller fitting options.
