PPE cleaning companies: work shoes and workwear

Cleaning workers are called upon to work in close contact with a whole range of chemicals and in somewhat variable work environments.

Risk assessment is, therefore, of extreme importance and is reported in a specific document (Cleaning company risk assessment) on the basis of which the personal protective equipment to be used is determined.

Ergonomic and slip hazards, however, are always present, and the correct choice of appropriate work shoes and workwear is essential.

For those who work in a cleaning company, heavy handling and tiring postures are the order of the day. Repetitive and repetitive movements generate high loads on the spine and can cause, over time, the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders with leg and back discomfort.

In addition, the risk of accidental falling due to slipping is frequent and, often, is the cause of workplace injury.

Let's see together how to choose non-slip work shoes and comfortable clothing that is also ergonomic.

Let's find out in detail what PPE is provided and how to dress for work.

CLEANING COMPANY PPE AND RECOMMENDED CLOTHING

Personal protective equipment for cleaning workers is dependent on the type of work performed and the location. In fact, the risks can be very different depending on the work environment but the main ones are chemical, biological and physical.

In addition to PPE for hands and eyes, clothing is also of paramount importance for both the safety and well-being of the worker.

The postures assumed, the continuous movement of loads, require comfortable clothing that takes into account the ergonomics of the person.

Therefore, stretchy or semi-elastic fabrics that can follow the body's movements are particularly recommended. So are breathable T-shirts, short- or long-sleeved polo sh irts, and sweatshirts that can maintain proper warmth and an ideal body microclimate, even when work gowns and/or aprons are worn.

Also keep in mind that the ergonomics of work clothes is given not only by the properties of the fabrics, but also by the cut and design, the location and access to pockets, the conformation of the crotch of the pants, the seams, and the location of reinforcements.

Ergonomic workwear should fit the body in such a way as to accommodate shoulders, arms and legs in movement without causing resistance that, in the long run, can lead to strain, discomfort and discomfort of a musculoskeletal nature.

Let's look at some U-Power workwear proposals suitable for workers in the cleaning industry.

WORK JEANS: THE PASSEPARTOUT WORKWEAR!

Work jeans are one of the most popular garments on the market and, often, are also used for leisure.

Once work is over and the lab coat or apron is removed, workwear jeans fit perfectly with everyday clothing but offer greater functionality and respect for ergonomics thanks to specific attention at the design stage.

Let's take a look together at the best U-Power jeans indicated for cleaners.

NON-SLIP WORK SHOES TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY

To reduce the risks of falling and slipping, work shoes must be slip-resistant, that is, all footwear that is certified and named with the acronym SRC.

U-Power particularly recommends two ranges/assortments to you: the red lion range and red 360.

RED LION SAFETY SHOES

Shoes in the Red Lion range have certain features that make them perfect for the cleaning industry:

• High-grip treads that ensure safe movement and stability;




• Infinergy® system that ensures over 55 percent more energy with each step, with a perceptible reduction in fatigue at the end of the day.

The Red Lion range offers ben 57 models: high-top and low-top safety shoes in different safety ratings and with upper materials that are more or less protective and waterproof depending on the season, such as, for example, the SUMMER style in ultra-breathable airnet or HUMMER, a tall model with a natural water-repellent nubuck leather upper.

U-POWER RED 360 SHOES

The special feature of this high-tech range/assortment is an innovative heel counter with Shield technology that increases grip while significantly improving posture and grip. An advanced technology that is a guarantee of safety and protection against the risk of slipping and allows you to work with greater peace of mind.

The Infinergy® insert ensures energy recovery while improving performance.

Again, the range/assortment offers a wide range, such as BLASTER: high work shoes in S1P SRC ESD safety rating and soft perforated suede upper.

The same style is available in a low version - MASON - but with some additional features:

• Collar with Lycra® fiber fabric that accommodates the foot with a pleasant wrapping sensation;




• The presence of two eyelets, at the ankle and instep, to facilitate the fit.

So, dear reader, if you work in cleaning, remember to always choose workwear that respects your ergonomics to ensure full freedom of movement and non-slip footwear that protects you from the risk of accidental falls.
