Protecting your most important tool! Tuesday, January 14, 2020

The hands are the most direct tool of man. Almost nothing works without them. How much we depend on them is usually determined when there is an injury.A small cut in the fingertip is enough to spoil us for a whole working day, a pinched finger occupies us for weeks. Every craftsman pays attention to his tools. It not only protects it from gross damage, but also ensures proper care.

The following therefore applies to our hands:

• Skin protection before starting work. Modern skin protection creams form a thin protective film over the skin, thus preventing the penetration of microparticles, drying out and the formation of allergies.

• Skin cleaning after dirty work. Up-to-date soaps can be expected to quickly remove the dirt particles from the skin (too long rubbing damages the superficial skin cells), but not to upset the skin's PH value too much. Try our cleaning product for effective cleaning after a hard day's work.

• Skin care after work. To promote skin regeneration after a hard day's work. The skin needs moisturizing support such as  lotions  , especially in the cold season .

Therefore, pay attention to high-quality skin protection and skin care products, hand cleaners, foams, lotions and work gloves for your areas of application. Professional skin protection, skin cleaning and skin care on the most important tool of human beings, our hands, pay off!

Safety Shoes - Protection at Work Wednesday, October 16, 2019

When we speak about industrial safety shoes, it is usually the heavy duty footwear that comes to your mind such as the steel toe boots. The thing with these boots is that they have reinforced toes that tend to protect your feet from the hazards like heavy objects found at construction and industries worksites.

It is not just the steep toe boots but there are different types of shoes exist that can make the jobs safer.  So, how do these safety shoes keep you protected at the workplace? Let’s find out.

Foot injuries are usually debilitating. They can keep you away from work or cause difficulty in performing a job at hand. These are ways in which Wurth's safety shoes can protect you from injury at work.

PROTECT FROM FALLING & FLYING OBJECTS

When the workers carry heavy materials in the workplace where there are several vehicles or machineries, flying and falling objects are a common thing. Protective shoes from brands like Wurth S3 can be a life saver.

PROTECT FROM PUNCTURES 

At workplace, there might be a time when you step on some sharp object or get stuck by sharp object from above. Shoes with thick materials and heavy duty sole like ones from brands like Wurth S2 offer the best protection to your feet.

PROTECT FROM CUTTING HAZARDS

Sharp machineries or the ones that contain moving parts might lead to several cutting hazards. For instance, workers who work in the wood industry experience dangers from the chain saws.

Electricity again has its own share of hazards at the workplace. Workplace might experience electric shocks or accumulate static electricity that can lead to electric sparks in the industry. In order to reduce the risk of an electrical accident, you must wear non-conductive footwear made from rubber, leather or other materials.

For workers who stand all day especially on the hard surfaces such as concrete, fatigue can be a big problem.
