WHY USE KNEE PADS?
PROTECT YOUR KNEES – HELP PREVENT INJURIES AT WORK
Working on your knees puts heavy strain on the knee joints, which can lead to discomfort and long-term injuries. With the right knee pads, you can protect your joints, increase comfort, reduce pressure and lower the risk of long-term problems.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT KNEE PADS?
Choose knee pads based on your work, your working surface and your workwear:
- Material: Choose softer knee pads for long working days and harder protection for rough surfaces.
- Certification: Check that the knee pads are certified according to EN 14404 for reliable protection.
- Compatibility: Make sure the knee pads fit the knee protection pockets in your work trousers.
WHAT MAKES A GOOD KNEE PAD?
- Comfort and fit: Choose knee pads that stay in place without restricting movement.
- Material and durability: Durable materials such as foam or gel provide support and the right level of protection during long working days.
TIPS FOR MAXIMUM COMFORT AND SAFETY
- Combine knee pads with trousers that have reinforced knee protection pockets.
- Replace worn knee pads regularly to maintain the right level of protection.
